Well I guess I am going to be posting on the board a little less in future……

congrats bro!!!
It looks like my efforts at INS to prevent your Visa from coming through failed….
You'll be missed on the board, but if you post when you get home after work, I'll still be on the board!

There is a $1000 fee for rapid processing.
Still I got my job offer in the beginning of April…….
I need a car to get to College Park, I will be working for a small biotech firm.
I am so fucking excited about not having to go back to the UK. Anyone want to join me for a rousing rendition of God Bless America?

thanks everyone,
Well I dont know when I start yet, could be Monday. Could be soon after. I guess I will need to go and get a drivers license tomorrow and sort out a car loan at my bank today.
These are the variables. But its not easy to get to by public transport. So if I cant get one pretty soon I will have to get a rental and or buy a focus.
I need to call my new place and see when they want me to start. Perhaps I should do that. I am too excited to talk to the boss on the phone right now though.

Cool, thanks…
I guess I should have said I want the cooper. Not the S. Will take any colour but prefer the cheap non metallic black…..

ahh, GGW, so kind of you to offer. As I have never owned a car, I have never had to insure a car. Somehow 400hp V8 and $100,000 make it unlikely anyone would insure me, dontchathink?
And I said you were kung fu master…….

You forgot to add the fact that you live in a high-crime city.
