Celebration and trepidation

[idleidolidyll]

I wish more stay at home Kiwis could understand what we have and just reduce the moaning a little

Only western Kanukistan has anything like NZ and that has the misfortune to sit above the worlds' most aggressive country.

Of all the countries I've been to and lived in, there's no place as good as here for the average Joe or Jane and that goes triple if they're into bikes.

Keep battling, a POME mate of mine now lives in Wanaka after 10 years of trying to get back in; it can be done

[Mom]

I shall give a special hug to Darcy (the baby) from her Aunty Mom in Nz, even if you'd rather I didn't it's yet another excuse to squeeze the bejesus out of her. x

Just dont squeeze too hard is all, there are a couple of things that might happen if you do

Just smell her marty, just smell her. Oh, maybe a little peck on the forehead from her Aunty Mommy.

Well said and thank you mate.

Just smell her marty, just smell her. Oh, maybe a little peck on the forehead from her Aunty Mommy.

Oh I am so with you on that, how come no ones ever bottled that top of the baby head smell, makes you glad to be alive.

marty: find a willing wahine, marry her, give her a baby so she can live off the dpb, ditch the wench, pay her maintenance and consider that your entry fee

of course that's probably illegal..............

Adding my well wishes to all the others.
I relate to how you feel about NZ. I was fortunate to enough to be granted citizenship. Good luck!

Hey in seriousness,what about heading to the west island(Aussie),getting citizenship there,which might be easy(if they decline here),then relocate here,might be easier.

I'd be stomping to the local MP office and get him onto it stating your case.

[PrincessBandit]

Will add my very best wishes and hopes that you get to stay! Immigration have a lot to answer for, despite their obvious attempts to justify their strange ways. We luffs you and will be looking forward to good news that you'll be staying on our shores for a long long time.

Crossing all fingers and toes and everything else I can think of for youse. (There, a good kiwi-ism for ya!)

Great pics MartyDude, and my very best wishes coming your way. Shall I write you a note? (Maybe Taito has screwed that up for a while).

I'm with Mom, keep those positive thoughts streaming, - certainly if a fraction of your positivity comes back your way, "You're IN" - VBW

Oh Lordy, how ever justified the reason for me to have a Whahine, I'd be in for the bash

Bless you Princess, I didn't want to go before, now I really really don't want to go

Cheers big guy and you enjoy your little excursion abroad bud but come home soon this country needs people that smile like you, it keeps their pecker up don't you know.

Marty, whatever happens remember to enjoy seeing the whanau in the mother-land and give them lots o' lovin'.

No amount of stressing will change what Immigration are going to do, and it just might set alarm bells ringing with them if they see you all jumpy at the gate.. All the best.

Hugs,
Mavis

Wise words for sure M, thanks for your support and advice. As coincidence would have it, I've just been talking to my Granddaughter on the phone, I f I'm honest, I couldn't understand a word of it but it sure was cute gibberish, can't wait to see them all and I can't wait to get back and deal to those Immigration bureaucrats.
Thanks again Mavis.x
