Visa Success At Last!

[sglad]

After several YEARS of trying (and no doubt boring you all to death with the saga), I'm overjoyed to be able to tell anybody who's interested that I have finally succeeded in getting my Vietnamese BF a UK Visa.

Congrats, scottish-guy! Your perseverance paid off. I hope your bf will enjoy his stay in the UK and wish the both of you the very best.

Marti, you've obviously been to both?

[scottish-guy]

As are you.

But thanks for previously giving me the tagline which I've placed immediately above my avatar

A pink tree? Ah please Mary.

Really hope it all goes well SG.

The pink Xmas tree has been liberated from the loft but even though it was in a couple of black bags it's a bit grimy after 15yrs (prob condensation) - so I will have to erect it, stick it in the shower, spray it with Cillit Bang and rinse it off - then it should be sparkly clean.

I have ordered tinsel, baubles, and lights as I threw everything out years ago.

I feel I should post a pic once I manage to get it up

No offense SG, but even here in Vietnam I think people would eschew a pink tree. So démodé, so passé. Maybe BF's father will offer you 100,000 Dong to replace the tree (or simply to keep it out of sight).

I'm not sure the board rules allow you to post a pic when you finally get it up. Though I've heard other sites are available to share that kind of smut. Would you not just throw it out and buy a new one? I know you're Scottish, but there has to be a limit.

Thanks for the good news Scotttsh ... I'm sure you're ecstatic.
Last time I heard of a Thai guy enjoying Scotland's weather was when he was accepted in 1995 as a neophyte golf instructor/cum/masseur (nudge nudge) at St. Andrews.

Good luck with your guy in this interesting journey.

There you go SG. The board is anonymous on this - ditch the pink tree.
