Although due to recent events, it wouldnt pay to ask me for any more money now regarding my case.

But I am no longer scared. (Rooksie knows what I mean)

its just the worst feeling isnt it. one minute youre up and the next youre down. been there got the t shirt. same with us - hubbie is a plumber and got all the qualifications but trained with Shell who are gas/lpg so most likely get assessed as gasfitter but recent work experience is plumbing and gas. god its a nightmare and to make it worse we have one failed TRA behind us already!!!! second attempt just gone off to agent arghhhhhhhh

The TRA poem
Getting all the details
To write down on my forms
Piss off old employers
Writing dusk till dawn
Eating, sleeping, dreaming
The dreaded TRA
No chance of sex for us tonight
Game of Data sheets we'll play
Send it to the agent
Have some sleepless nights
Your applications crap they say
With your husband you will fight
Go back to getting info
Pay up some more cash
Go and get some evidence
Your keyboard you will bash
Then you come on Expats
Discover you're not alone
The TRA have spread their seed
Its rotting to the bone
So bollox Mr Howard
We appreciate your 'Boss'
Bollox to the agents
Refuse us at your loss.
(Alan, I love you really)

I shall have to stop myself from doing a story about 'Barry' the camp TRA man kidnapping us all and tying us up with a purple furry boa and then we get rescued by Jeremy.

My main concern is spending ages putting together your TRA and then you get the kind of e-mail that Hilary got..
I wish you all the best Hilary6.

sucks doesnt it.
