I had a work Visa because at the time because I thought I failed an ESTA question. It said ‘ had you ever been arrested or charged?’ But wasn’t specific. I was arrested but not charged. Long story, ex who caused me a lot of problems so to be safe, I applied for a Visa and the embassy at Grosvenor Square. They said at the time I probably didn’t need the visa But it made it easier going on trips to the US as customs would never ask any questions. That expired so I use ESTA Now. The ESTA questions have now changed to ‘have you been convicted of certain crimes’. It was pretty vague 12 years ago. Thank you for your advice. Something to think about, just looking at all options.
It’s mad what us men do for women isn’t it? Haha |

Thanks, I had a 10yr work visa when I visited more frequently but it expired and I now use ESTA.
I was asking more in terms of a permanent move |

I know a few here are ex-pats living in the US now, Mark in Baltimore to spring a name.
How easy is it to move to the US, get a visa etc ?
I met a girl in Fort Worth recently and I’ve been over twice to see her, just wondered what others have experienced etc?
I know Google is free but people here are always a fountain of knowledge and experience |

I like it there, the people weren't that friendly from memory and this was a common theme on trip adviser too.
What ruined it for me was we went all inclusive and it wasn't great. first and last Ai holiday.
I remember the island being small, we took a bus tour and saw it all in one day.
They still have a Popeye film set which is now an amusement park, they like to go on about it.
have fun |

Niners have lost Aiyuk for the Season, as well as injuries to many others. and with McCaffrey on IR, I think they're cooked. |

Thread | Ticket help (all sorted now)
at 11:14 19 Oct 2024
Hi, purchased a pompey ticket this morning, got the confirmation email, but there is no attachment to it. And when I go to click to add to my Apple wallet, there is no link. It’s just a graphic of the Apple wallet icon. Am I doing something wrong? I’ve emailed the box office, if I don’t hear shortly, I will give them a call.
EDIT- emailed the box office, within minutes, Nathan replied and sorted it for me. What a great service. Thanks, Nathan. [Post edited 19 Oct 11:16]

I love it up there, id happily retire somewhere there in 20 years. I keep meaning to just drive up again for long weekends. The Cairngorms were spectacular.
I found the locals friendly too except in Edinburgh. my partner at the time was American so I just made her order our food and they were fine.
I went mid august and no issue with Midges, even at an airBnB where we has a big pond outside it was fine. but ive heard horror stories |

Reply | Where’s the best place to find cheap flights
at 10:51 17 Oct 2024
I heading to Texas againon 31st Oct, I used sky scanner and found the same flight that AA wanted £920 for, for £825. It took me to another site, they’re like a broker and it all seemed legit but I didn’t risk it. I thought if rather pay the £95 extra and be safe booking direct. But sky scanner seems legit |

I disagree with you RE atmosphere. You do get the loud boos from the 'home' crowd when the away team is on 3rd down... but it's not as loud as a real 'home' game.
People are up and down all the time, happened in Dallas 3 weeks ago when I was there. its also got worse at cricket, people used to wait till the end of the over before they moved out of their seat. I think it's just a society thing.
I love the London games and have been every year, but 3 weeks back to back is too much. We always pick one game now.
Jags need a rest or go play in Germany. They aren't moving to London anytime soon like what was mentioned, not when theyve invested so much in their stadium and potentially getting a new one.
Roger Goodell (the commissioner) mentioned Saturday, that the season will be 18 games soon (from 17) and they want an overseas international game every week! spread out all over the world |

6 of us went to the Spurs game today, one of my mates is a bears fan so I’m pleased I they won for him. But we all agreed, we are done with the Jacksonville Jaguars now. Not spending any money watching them again over here. I hope they don’t come back for a few more years, but I’m not sure what kind of deal they have signed with Wembley.
Was tempted to go to the game next weekend at Wembley, but I can’t face seeing them. Sorry Boston, otherwise I’d have bought you a beer! |

I read earlier that no team that has scored 550+in the first innings has ever lost by an innings. Hopefully we can get this done tomorrow without batting again. |

You could pick up a ticket for £90 versus Sri Lanka at Lords, I’m not saying that’s cheap, but over 6 hours that only works out of £15 an hour |
