I still have my boarding card from the last flight I took!

HeidiHeidi

You'll have to stand in a queue - the horror :eek:

"You showed them".... I don't think so, Philip!

Put boarding pass into passport, put passport into pocket, get on plane, arrive at destination, queue for security/emmigration, pass passport to officer. Who doesn't do that?

What's the problem with proving your ENTITLEMENT (Joe hasn't left the building at all ) to use the CTA?

This fella's spoiling for a fight, but my money would be on HM Immigration Services!

Dan Jaman

WTF? The man's quite right - you are, as Irish citizens, most of you, entitled to travel unencumbered and unhindered between here and the UK - and anyone who puts obstacles in the way of that is acting illegally.
Simple as that.
The bloke is simply standing up for his rights - and there's a lot of spineless tossers who could learn about that.

But how, in a mill of random flight disembarkers from all over the world for all I know, do you prove that you've travelled from the CTA? You show your boarding pass!

So its fixed?

Next!

No problem with that - but as anyone who's travelled between here and the UK on a regular basis knows, the rules are observed more in the breach than the compliance.
The feking UK Customs and Immigration bastids make things up as they go along, and I'm not kidding about that. The old bollix about the PoTA comes into play and I'm heartily sick to my back teeth of the petty abuse of power those feckers play every day.

They knew Sepp Blatter.. So he got to play 20 minutes of the match..

I'm not a madly regular traveller to the UK, but I'd have to disagree with the above.

The CTA has always struck me as a contraditction in terms - on the one hand, you have free, unencumbered travel between the two jurisdictions for nationals of both - but on the other hand, how do you prove that you're a national of one or t'other - you have to show a passport, which is the only definitive proof of nationality in the end of the day.

What's this one rambling on about? Think I should've stayed in bed, this is most definitely not the way to start the day!

They got footage of Marion for her grand return tomorrow.. I'd say they had to do some digging to find that..

That boarding card lad really embarrassed me.

Living in the UK and put Liveline on the radio in work. The other lads here thought it was a wind up parody show.

Pretty damn funny radio though.

I remember listening to the rubberbandits episode with tears streaming down my face, and to properly explain to my czech colleagues why it was funny would have taken a 2 hour lecture with pictures and diagrams.

JonathanAnon

It's the whole beatification of people that Liveline gets involved in that annoys me... I swear if Michael Lynn died, RTE would find somebody to say that he was the bestest, most honest chap they had ever met..

JM Skipton

Please don't...........

Just checked out Event Elephant's website....

While we are all on a literary buzz today I would like to describe the show today in the words of Edmund Blackadder "Well it started badly...it tailed off a little in the middle....and the less said about the ending the better....."

I listen using that TuneIn app on my phone. Great way to stay in touch with Irish goings-on over here.

Anyone catch Lahv Lahn regular/stalwart/possible future presenter when Joe goes on holliers (I wouldn't rule anything out on Lahv Lahn!) Aubrey's (that's Aubrey fom AMC Removals in case you didn't know- lol) new ad on Newstalk Breakfast this morning?

It went something like......

Hi, I'm Aubrey from AMC Removals. Pat Kenny made the right move, if you want to make move too, just call AMC Removals...and then goes on for ages saying AMC Removals as often as is possible is a 30 second ad.

Classic Aubrey!

I had a dream that Joe Duffy didnt like how well PBH was received and cut his holiday short to come back. Turned into a nightmare to be honest.
