Multiple Entry Husband

Her Bearded Majesty's Government has given me "leave to enter the United Kingdom for an indefinite period." This is a good bureaucratic development; I'm glad I should never again get grilled at Heathrow Immigration by the likes of Miss Rug. (That really was her name.)

Sadly, this means I have lost my previous government status as a "Husband Single Entry." (I didn't make that up either.)

Civil servants carry the surrealist fish-torches illuminating the diminishing recesses of brittle empire.
