Well, folks, I have to say that I'm somewhat reassured by this list of places you've all lived and worked, because when I was filling out my application for PR last year I was horrified at the epic length of my list, and thought that I was the only Brit here to have worked at so many places in so many cities, and abroad.

V. reassuring, and not a little therapeutic, I can tell you.

I'm starting to understand why CIC London take so long to process PR applications.

They're like Inspector Dreyfus in the Pink Panther movies - locked in padded cells, in straightjackets, blinking maniacally as a result of trying to trace everybody's whereabouts for the past five/ten/twenty years.

[By the way, if anyone from CIC's reading this - you're doing a great job, just kidding!]
