Re: Don't know what to do ... shellshocked
Have you called DIMIA on this one. Im not sure, but I think breaking the 2 second rule may well go against your visa application.
I know you already have your visa sorted out, but immigration at Perth may well try and question you about your lack of respect for the rule.
May be better to come clean and own up to it.

The biscuit disintegrated prompty and is now nothing more than a pile of mush in the my mug. Naturally I should have phoned my family and friends first but I thought I'd receive better Karma here so I posted it up. I'm heartbroken frankly and don't know where to turn ... I may have to take a break.
Last week, I was filling in the slip for the $16 million lottery when my pen ran out!!
I ran after it, but it was too quick for me and disappeared through a hedge.
Next morning I checked the paper and imagine my surprise when the numbers that I was going to put on had won the loot..
Could all 34,417 members of BE please send me lots of karma, cos it's very hard to type on this laptop standing on the very tip of Bank West Tower in Perth!!!
And it's getting bloody windy!

Re: Don't know what to do ... shellshocked
Oh now look what you've done Rooksie. Custard creams. Now that's it. Im going back. Custard creams are not the same over here. They taste so lovely in front of a log fire in a pub, with the wind howling in the background...and the cold crisp air outside.....
As for Three legs. Did the Mrs take any flowers with her when she left for Gretna Green? Think on now....dont be slack, maybe you can make it there and be her bridesmaid?
Manx..yep.....I'm sure dunkin biscuits contravenes DIMIA rule section (2) but dont worry, it's OK to do it after three years, it used to be two...but now it's three...and he wont be penalised unless he's a defacto....so he's OK

Re: Don't know what to do ... shellshocked
Just a thought Three Legs, but have you tried Garibaldi's?
If you make the same mistake again and don't pull out in time, then at least you could salvage some currants.

Re: Don't know what to do ... shellshocked
I like your style but why go with half measures on the currents ? I'll try an Eccles cake instead ... at least that way, if I fail to pull out in time the bottom of the mug will resemble a rabbit hutch ...

Neighbours (UK) last night - Tim Tam explosion, mug of hot chocolate, Joe Mangle (aka Mark Little) - disaster, similar to Three Legs!

Hope that you have gotten over the initial trauma of the biscuit incident but be aware you may experience PTBDD (post traumatic biscuit dunking disorder) in the future
