Greetings- can you help me through the maze?

Yes me and juby also but we have the ability to go out within 3 months

did you invent skype?

No, Niklas and Janus did.

ah they founded skype the software was put together by 3 Estonians Messrs Talinn,Heinla and Kames ales.
The first beta public outing was 23..08 2003 Geoff s usage predates this hence the question.,

Thanks for that John. Forgive me for pushing, I guess I'm just nosey at heart

I sent you a pm

Geoff might just have mentioned Skype but was actually using Windows Messenger or Yahoo which were around before Skype, I often use Skyping as a general term for video messaging, bit like calling all vacuum cleaners Hoovers

Good luck. And welcome.

hmmmmm is Geoff a Troll or someone in disguise.

I dont understand the sudden hello ,loads of activity and the drops off like never been here!!
There are other instances too on other user names!!
I could be just an old cynic.

No Geoff is not. I am still hoping that someone will tell me what to say as why my lady friend wants a tourist visa but as you say it has suddenly gone dead and I guessed everyone had got bored with my topic.

Thank you very much and have a great trip

say about what?

My friend wants to come for 3 months on a tourist visa and she has to give the embassy a reason for her visit. Does she say she wants to come and get engaed or meet me for the first time or what? I will have to show that she is staying with me and that I am paying the air fare.

This will help

Many thanks John

Half of me wants to go to UK but the other half of me is holding me back.

My offer to @Geoff is that just in case you would need some help for a background check, I'd volunteer for you. You know, sometimes I'm bored and couldn't sleep. I need to find things to do aside from saying nonsense to the forum. lol
and I'm good at stalking.

Hi Geoff
I am new on here and reading your post I am trying to understand your current situation. If I read correctly, you are currently in Germany and want to return to UK with your GF to get married. You tried to fly to Philippines to meet your GF but wasn't able to because of your health issues. If that is correct, how will you manage to fly back to UK? Admittedly its a much shorter flight but are you sure that you can manage even that?
Hope you find a solution.

Geoff if flying is remotely possible, you can do what my wife and I did. We got married in Seychelles earlier this year. The process is extremely easy using one of the several wedding organisers there with minimum of paperwork and once the marriage has been notarised in the nearest Philippines Embassy, which in this case is Nairobi, all done by courier and handled by the wedding organisers, is recognised by UK and Philippines. Wallah you are married.

Germany, UK, Philippines, Seychelles, Nairobi...

Geoff would go from "fear of flying" to "frequent flyer elite" in one trip.
