I had a friend interning with the International Bar Association in London, and even with that on his resume, he could NOT get a job in England and had to go back to the States. :( Damn stingy UK and their VISAS.
What were you doing in the UK, Zero? That's pretty damn cool.

Yeh, it's annoying that people from the USA which is pretty much our sister country, get sent back and the rules are so strict, but portuguese and polish people have the rules bent and ignored a
lot. Not that I don't like them, but if they're gonna slack the rules, do it for our closest relation countries like america and australia. Our government is so afraid of being called racist and being sued, they've told the police to ease up on them on things like car offences and killing swans (illegal here) and all that kind of stuff because "they don't know what they're doing".
I could rant all day about it, but I'll end on this. The governemt got so afraid in 2006 of being called racist, christmas decorations in most work places were banned, advent calenders were called christmas calenders and the shops didn't call it the christmas sales, they were the holiday sales. Yes, there is the jewish holiday (I can't for the love of me spell it) but this is a predominantly christian country, and though a significant percentage don't celebrate christmas, we wouldn't expect to go to india and have them tone down their holiday times incase it offended us (and all of my foreign friends say it doesn't offend them). Blast the government!
