blog.jimbo.org.uk - Comments on Gypsy asylum seeker terrorists http://blog.jimbo.org.uk/archives/2005/05/living_anywhere.shtml Apparently, to apply for a passport in the UK, you need to get 2 identical photographs (so no using those machines that take 4 shots in succession...) of yourself signed by either "a professional person", or someone "of standing in the community", who has known you for 2 or more years. Oh, and they need to sign your form too. For bonus awkwardness points, I can't be related to the person, even as an in-law, nor in a relationship with or living in the same house as them. Of course, if I was the sort of criminal that wanted to get a dodgy fake passport, I'm sure I could get one of my friends to lie that they'd known me for a bit longer than they have; it's only inconvenient because I'm not willing to break the law. Great security measure there, guys! I'm sure that'll foil those evil arab gypsy asylum seeker terrorists who've come to steal our women/jobs. Oh, and if you lose your passport, you need to report this to your local police station, however big a waste of your time and theirs you may feel this is. In other news, if I can get a passport before then, I'm going on holiday on June 2nd! If I can't, I'm, er, not.

Could be either I guess :-) I'm currently aiming to do the fast track postal thing, guaranteed to turn around in 1 week. £70 instead of £42, but at least I get a holiday. http://blog.jimbo.org.uk/archives/2005/05/living_anywhere.shtml#c943 943:97@http://blog.jimbo.org.uk/ Yeah, although I thought it was Liverpool.
