And On Top Of That....

The bloody bureaucracy in the country is mind-numbing. My fiancée and I have set a date for our wedding, yet due to the mountain of red tape involved as she is from New Zealand, and I'm from England, we are not yet able to confirm the registrar.
So her plans for what should be the best day of every girls life are on hold, with a completely un-necessary stressful cloud hanging over them.

All this in spite of the fact that she's lived, worked and paid taxes here for four years, her Grand-parents were from the UK, we've lived together for three years, and her country has a Union bloody Jack in the corner of their flag.

Perhaps I should tell them she's from Rumania or Poland........

About As Welcome As A Fart In An Airplane.....

Flatulence leads to US Jet Divert
An American Airlines plane made an emergency landing in Nashville after passengers reported the smell of sulphur from burning matches.
The matches were found on the seat of a woman who had attempted to conceal the odour of flatulence with the matches, Nashville airport authorities said.
All 99 passengers and five crew left the plane while it was searched.
The woman was questioned by the FBI but released without charge and allowed to board another American Airlines flight.
"It was determined that she was trying to conceal body odour," said Lynne Lowrance of the Nashville Airport Authority.
She had "no malicious intent but had struck matches which is against [Transport Security Administration] rules," Ms Lowrance said.
The unidentified woman had an unspecified medical condition, Associated Press news agency said.
She was carrying safety matches, which the TSA allows in carry-on luggage.
The matches are not allowed to be struck, however.

The FBI called out because someone farted and lit a match. Good to see those US tax dollars are all going to good use as ever.

A Fond Farewell.....

Toinght is Knowwhere night. Anyone who knows me, will know how important a night that is to me, and how important those Knowwhere nights have been over the years.

Tonight, however, is a special Knowwhere night. It is my last as a promoter.

After an incredible five years on London's club scene, five years of meeting the most amazing people, five years of parties, dancing, fun and entertainment, it's time to call it a night.

It really has been the best five years of my life so far, and I'd like to use my own little bit of webspace here to just say 'thank you' to everyone who's made it so special for me. In particular I want to thank my great friends Pablo & Anthony Dean. Two of the best people on the planet.

I love you both guys. Thank You.
