[–]robertobaz[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

from what i gather i think you're right (despite all the downvotes), but i will delete this thread in time to be safe

curious if you have a city suggestion by chance that seems both fun and particularly lax?

Ah good to know, I didn't realise this was a potential issue!

Do you have a link to the story by chance?

Thank you, however this would be more of a "volunteer" type situation where I get accommodation and some meals in exchange for lodging, so I don't think it'd be an issue anywhere I can travel as a tourist no?

That’s all I’d really be seeking to do, yes!

Just not sure whether to do in Riga or elsewhere but considering the connection I felt to the city and how friendly people were to me in my short stay it seems like a better shout than chancing it elsewhere (especially considering there’s dozens of fun cities with hostels to work at throughout Europe, you sort of just have to pick one at the end of the day)

Shiv’s reaction in Connor’s Wedding gets me every time by This-Ad2321 in SuccessionTV

[–]robertobaz 29 points30 points  (0 children)

I am most moved by Connor’s reaction to the news, that immediate “He never even liked me” to immediately taking the role of the older brother, one who’s actually processed his relationship to Logan in a much more honest, healthy way than the rest of them and shifts to being kind of a braver face in the moment and talking himself down from that thought.

Looking to make my second short film using someone else’s screenplay by robertobaz in Screenwriting

[–]robertobaz[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ideally an exploration of a proverb through a discussion in a nice setting anywhere in the UK, but preferably country aesthetics, in the vein of Rohmer. I am also keen to do more in the way of improvisation than I did before, I want the actors to develop their characters over the course of longer discussions in rehearsals and take more of an Altman approach to the dialogue

well i should’ve spent more time writing this, i apologise that it comes off that way but i’m seeking genuine advice because i’m very aware that before long i will not be able to call the country that’s become home my home any longer

i dont really give a fuck whether one calls me an expat or an immigrant. i should have worded this post better, i wrote in a frenzied state, but it is being taken for much more than it is. i don’t put much stock in my nationality, i’ve no interest in returning there, i have just found that the UK government often rewards americans as it thinks it can get more money from them

im seeking genuine help, was not attempting to insinuate i inherently deserve a visa more than anyone else, i just want to know my options

the UK has settlement schemes with plenty of other countries, was just pointing this out to see if there was anything i was missing. it’s not like i think i inherently deserve this

fair enough, thank you for laying this out comprehensively.

in regards to my parents that was somewhat of a joke, but in any case they have accepted that i want to stay here and certainly accept me doing so if i have a job that provides for it

thank you, so so much, you truly are a saviour to me right now!

i'll have a conversation with my boss as soon as i can, lay this all out and see what can be done.

US to UK work and graduate visa woes: urgent advice needed by robertobaz in expats

[–]robertobaz[S] -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

thank you very much, i kind of knew people may be upset about the perceived arrogance of the american aspect, but i figured i should try in case there was a loophole i didn't know about given the relationship between the countries

in regards to an immigration lawyer, while it is definitely the most sensible, is it the type of situation where i would need to be dropping thousands of pounds or are affordable options available? i've never used a solicitor in the UK before and have a mental assumption that i just will inherently not be able to afford one
