    That seems like a lucky break - usually INS will only accept people with an INS background.

    Seven months was a long stretch. Hope there is not a next time but if there is try to make more of it.

    All the best.

    You panic, when you drunkenly stumble back to the cashpoint, with Colombia's finest all over your chin, to pay for another couple of ho's, only to realise, the overdraft is not the only thing blown that afternoon.

    Well done and great advice
