you just can't make this stuff up

There are some things you can't even imagine yourself doing, and then there are those things that do not even exist in the farthest reaches of your imagination, like for example my immediate situation of sitting in a Dutch immigration office watching a James Bond movie with Roger Moore while waiting to pick up a residency card almost 6 months in the making. Frankly I would have preferred Pierce Brosnan but beggars can't be choosers at IND I suppose...
