I am teaching, and doing writing/editing work in H.K with a HK work visa at present. I (not the useless consulate of the UK, nor the brit taxpayer) have booked and paid for a flight home....despite you and everyone else on this board doubting me, and refusing my previous cries for help. So yeah, call me a bad teacher if that makes you feel better, but the fact is i am a lot stronger willed person at surviving than you and others on here may ever now.

thanks for the repky however, i will take a look, time permitting, at the issues you have duly noted. Now you will have to forgive me, my priority lies with getting home to see elderly and infirm family, and paying for hotel roons in london and spain. So no bkudging off the UK there. Perhaps i could get a syrian passport.

later,
smgs
