Is that a Seagate in your pocket......?

As it was back in the 90's, perhaps it was a floppy drive?

At least it would have been a 5 1/4 instead of a 3 1/2

Are you losing your edge, Ian? .... Or do you just relax a little on the weekend?

MrMillion

lol agreed.

not quite the same but when we came in with our fist L1a visa we had our two kids in tow. the fist question the cbp officer did was say - are you planning on growing the family. we were struck dumb as we didnt know what was the 'right' answer lol. whatever we replied he let us in fine but it did concern us for a minute or two.

There is no right or wrong answer. It's not the answer you give that the officer is interested in, it's the way you give it.

I've flown out to see my fiancee twice. Literally just been asked why I was there "to visit my girlfriend" first time, "to visit my fiancee" the second time. Literally just asked last time I was in the US, how long I was there for and whether the weather was nice in LA (the last place I'd been the first time I visited her).

Both times were at Chicago.

Don't agree on that one, drove down to Las Vegas once, so the CBP inspector at Sweet Grass asks me who I'm going to meet, no-one says I, and she didn't believe me until I had explained in great detail what I would be doing down there. And then she launched into her life story of having met someone on eHarmony and meeting up with him in Las Vegas, etc. Zzzzzz, gee I've only got 1,200 miles to drive this is so interesting.

Large hub airport, like I usually suggest, so not too surprising. I still wouldn't have mentioned gf/fiancée though.

I got questioned less when I said "boyfriend". "Friend" sounds slightly vague and invites more questions. "Boyfriend", I was just asked how long I'd be staying then was stamped on through. Your mileage may vary, but that was my experience in Newark last July

Waiting for Pulaski to repeat, once again, "Large hub airport, like I usually suggest."
