It's a fun way to keep warm though. Other methods I have:......... We have 3 Bedlington Terriers that love to snuggle up with you and take over the sofa. Go out and cut some wood for the fire - then you are too hot for the fire!! Click on pic files below..........

Attaining the Golden Ticket seems to vary wildly I'm afraid. They seem to process batches. Coming from Liverpool won't affect your visa processing time ( he says tongue firmly in cheek - hey they let me in and I'm from Leeds )

G'day Tonyspud! It took us about two years. Our agent said we could be accepted to go to NZ in about 6 months (how desparate are they?) but seeing as we wanted Australia that wasn't the right option for us. So they quoted about 12 - 18 months and that was probably about right. Our house sale and just getting into gear was probably what slowed us a little. Still, what's time? Once you're here it'll be summer most of the year and that always makes time feel less urgent. There's never that feeling of winter being just around the corner. Say "hi" to Liverpool for me. We lived and worked on the Wirral for a number of years and I'll second what Tyke said - they won't hold it against you! Paul.
