Angry English Proficiency & Shakespeare's Sonnets

Is there no end to my torment ? My Licence has expired and I (quite reasonably) had to go and get my medical first. But this is not enough,you also have to send your Licence, Medical and precious log book to the Malaysian DCA for them to give you another year's sign off. I got my medical about a month ago and have not been able to fly since.

My licence was refused on the basis of the lack of evidence of my proficiency in English. I know that being Scots and being able to talk intelligible English is not necessarily the same thing - but this is ridiculous.

Apparently I will need to go there in person. And I know what that means. Stand around for hours and then they ask you if you brought a signed affidavit from your 5th form teacher, a copy of Shakespeare's Sonnets (did no one tell you ?), a cheque for RM28.37sen and of course your ID card. Then wait in a Queue and then they ask you to come back tomorrow.
