    Think you are quite right Toto - can imagine it would be a big problem if he can't get into the country again!

    Toto, is Obama not a fan...
    When do US ones start, any chance he can follow them out there?

    He's on the Tori Amos tour. He's going out with a band called one eskimo who are signed in the us but not here. English guys though, in fact half of them are with amy Mc too.

    If they can't get him out there for the first gig they will need to replace him and that will be for the whole tour. I've just tried calling management but there's no answer. We really will be in the crap with money if this falls through.

    I can't believe in view of US security etc that they would expect him to lie at customs.
    If you were all going as a family & he just happened to get work out there....how would that work? :think:

    Toto......why is there always a pillock doing their best to screw things up?!

    PaP......dont go for the 'cost of replacement' Pet Insurance it tends to push the price up considerably!

    BTW, ......fitting a 'hydrogen on demand' kit ( a jam jar filled with distilled water and bi-carb connected to electricity to separate the ydrogen off and feed it into the engine!) at a cost of less than £30 has increased my mpg by at least 10%:D:T:T
    :D:D stay wonky :D:D

    ....one-way ticket to Portugal booked !

    well, the way I see it, and I am no expert at all in these things, but if you don't have a valid visa on the day you start work then surely no visa aquired after that date would be valid.

    If we went out there on a holiday then of course the chances are he would get through customs and no one would be any the wiser. he is doing a few dates in canada though so there is a bit of border crossing.
