Long Day

So a long day today. Up early to get to the embassy... then hours of waiting for the visa interview - which lasted all of 2 mins and saw me being approved (yeah!)... passport will be couriered 'soon' - I'm hoping that 'soon' is this week rather than next week as I'm due in Mexico soon.

Took the train up to Redcar where the neice hid in horror from me and everyone else listened patiently for me to finish up interminable stories about seeing 5 police men wade in to take down one guy outside of the US Visa office (hint to brutal policemen - in future kick the back rather han front of his knees if you want him to fall)

Right now I have a couple of presentations to look at - one to write and no real access to documents. Nightmare.

I'll head off and worry some

Yeah, but if you kick the front of his knees then you can break his kneecap and he's never going to cause mischief again. Policemen assigned to the US Embassy (or Fort Grosvenor) are the ones unhappy that PACE took away from them the right to administer a well-deserved kicking to some scrote before fabricating evidence to convict him of the crime of being Irish Without Due Care & Attention (although in these troubled times the charge is more likely to be being Muslim In A Manner Likely To Cause Unrest).

Dude - you should totally get the 'stang. Nothing pi$$es off a granola-munching bunny-loving tree-hugging enviro-mentalist more than seeing one of these and being told that it's greener than their bicycle.

PS I'll say HI to Andre for you guys tonight :)
