If not national you could always try something like the Yorkshire post or one of the Bradford papers (?)

Thats a bloody good idea

Sounds like some under the table work and the cheapest ticket you can find.

Obviously, you don't want to get deported 'cause you'll bugger up your future chances. Please answer every one of my questions. Then I will believe you.
Sputumsucker (myself) is a friend.

The little pink female sign near my information would lead to believe i have an inny, not an outy, and thus I am female.

We know each other as I met him London (Westminster City) in a Pub 3 yrs ago when I was traveling abroad.

The nature of the fall was man vs. a flight of lineoleum stairs.
The culprit: 2 stupid Weimaraners that slobber all over said stairs and linoleum when drinking from their water dishes. There is now a large throw rug under said water dishes, to avoid a repeat incident of the sort.

Treatment at the ER were x-rays, pain meds, a sling, and a pleasant 8 hours of watching television and praying the man next to us would stop peeking his head under the curtain and being nosey.

Oh, and approximately 3 visits from persons concerning form of payments available, my contact information, his contact information, insurance (or lack thereof) documentation, and general clerical BS.

Yes your right as if i didnt put a picture up all my problems would be solved wars would end, England would win the world cup.

So next time i need a shit should i do it in a bucket next to me?

That way i can focus all my time on my problem and not lose my priorities.

Hell it took me 2 mins to do this reply.

Is that distracting me from my problem?

I guess it is, so it MUST be all your fault then?

Well, now I am intrigued. Have you two been "intimate", if I may make so bold? Trust me, it has bearing on the case. A conundrum, wrapped in an enigma, surrounded by a paradox.

You got that right!

"Help, help, I'm stuck in a foreign country, penniless, an illegal alien... and here's a little picture of me in a silly ****ing hat!"

I still find it IMPOSSIBLE to believe that a grown man cannot get British Airways to resolve this issue. So impossible, in fact, that I still say BOLLOCKS.

How can anyone be such a victim that they can't get a full-price return ticket honored? FFS, grow a pair mate.

What bearing could it possibly have on the case, numpty?

See, the educated mind at work (he has a PhD). I don't have all his fancy book learning, but the gentleman has a point.

"I know we were drunk, luv, and in the morning you told me to piss off home to my wife, but I tripped over your dog bowl and my ankle's looking a little swollen, and I can't find any way to fly home, and ICE told me to go boil my head..."

You wait. He'll be telling you how cold and uncomfortable the sofa is next, just mark my words...

Ok call BA and ask them, or call the Grand Rapids department of immigration, or call the grand rapids press and ask them

BA will not help me i have contacted them, my friend has contacted them and they said they wont help as i was not admitted into hospital.

So you think i am bullshitting well yay for you.

But i am not like i said before i have better things to do with my time than sit here and make up a pointless thread
