Sorry, my fault. I assumed that applying for a Lebanese passport would only take a week or 2. I discovered otherwise.

I believe we can see here why some people might prefer Ozzie to Levantine citizenship !

very nasty posts of zeke; no substance, condescending palaver instead;
don't excuse yourself, Aymenz;
old Latin saying goes as follows: excuse= accuse, so, to put it crudely, if you excuse yourself you accuse yourself; [ my Latin too rusty to express it in original];
Good luck Aymenz,
balqis

Dear balqis,

Dum excusare credis, accusas.

When you believe you are excusing yourself, you are accusing yourself.

One of the benefits of an old-style parochial school education.

Regards,
John

Thank you, johnslat.
Will try to remember as find the adage a very useful rule of conduct.

And yet three of the "veterans" who replied here - Stephen Jones, Cleopatra, and 007 - all offered helpful advice whereas the one poster who was singled out for "picking faults" isn't much of a "veteran" having only 112 posts (number 966 on the posting list.)
