Re: Local Government Officer - is a J-1 a possibility??

Lol, no wonder Salford is suffering from depopulation. I thought it was because we were all moving to Manchester, seems we're all emigrating to be with our foreign lovers. :D Lisag is from Salford...

Re: Local Government Officer - is a J-1 a possibility??

Yes, I love him, I want to live with him, but I wouldn't be marrying him if he was another UKC, not until I'd known him a few more years yet. I'm a 39 year never-married woman - all kinds of...

Hiya y'all. I'm told you don't bite much, but I've been lurking around this forum for a while and I'm not so sure. :lol: Not to worry, I'm thick skinned.
