Hasta La Visa, Baby

We got Liza's visa for the UK earlier today. It was third time lucky as the previous occasions saw us lacking in certain documents. I waited for the visa and had some classic moments from The Office to keep me company: the Brent dance ("I fuse Flashdance with some MC Hammer shit") and the appraisals with his staff (Brent: "If 'don't know' wasn't an option what would you put?..Keith: "Don't know"). As for the passport page in question, my favourite bit is how the word 'UK' is written in an olde world stylee. Is that the consulate's way of suggesting that we have history and, er, American doesn't? Apart from being born in Britain, this visa is about as good as it gets - I'm just miffed that she didn't have to learn the words to 'God Save The Queen' as part of the process.

And on this historic day, I've made a welcome return to the BBC Sport rotas. Your life is pretty much defined by the WDW (Who Does What) which tells you which programmes you're assigned to over the course of a month. Within minutes of the March rota being published, two of my colleagues welcomed me back with their hastily put together GDW (Glen Does What). Compare and contrast below...
