I'm going to England on Wednesday as well, my passport's in the post and unlikely to arrive on time but I'll just use the driving licence.
What part you going to?
Theirs will probably be here on Friday :pac:Which airline?
They may be able to use some other form of valid photo ID (like a driving license if they're old enough to have one). You need a valid passport to fly with Ryanair though.
Even if it's another airline, check with them first.
Yeah, it's Ryanair
We might end up having to take the ferry :eek:0 -

Do they have an out-of-date one? I know people who got over to England with one of them

Macavity, Macavity, there's no one like Macavity,
He's broken every human law, he breaks the law of gravity.
His powers of levitation would make a fakir stare,
And when you reach the scene of crime - Macavity's not there!

But I tell you once and once again, Macavity's not there!
Macavity's a ginger cat, he's very tall and thin;
You would know him if you saw him, for his eyes are sunken in.
His brow is deeply lined with thought, his head is highly domed;
His coat is dusty from neglect, his whiskers are uncombed.
He sways his head from side to side, with movements like a snake;
And when you think he's half asleep, he's always wide awake.
Macavity, Macavity, there's no one like Macavity,
For he's a fiend in feline shape, a monster of depravity.
You may meet him in a by-street, you may see him in the square -
But when a crime's discovered, then Macavity's not there!
He's outwardly respectable. (They say he cheats at cards.)
And his footprints are not found in any file of Scotland Yard's.
And when the larder's looted, or the jewel-case is rifled,
Or when the milk is missing, or another Peke's been stifled,
Or the greenhouse glass is broken, and the trellis past repair -
Ay, there's the wonder of the thing! Macavity's not there!
And when the Foreign Office find a Treaty's gone astray,
Or the Admiralty lose some plans and drawings by the way,
There may be a scrap of paper in the hall or on the stair -
But it's useless to investigate - Macavity's not there!
And when the loss has been disclosed, the Secret Service say:
`It must have been Macavity!' - but he's a mile away.
You'll be sure to find him resting, or a-licking of his thumbs,
Or engaged in doing complicated long-division sums.
Macavity, Macavity, there's no one like Macavity,
There never was a Cat of such deceitfulness and suavity.
He always has an alibi, and one or two to spare:
At whatever time the deed took place - MACAVITY WASN'T THERE!
And they say that all the Cats whose wicked deeds are widely known
(I might mention Mungojerrie, I might mention Griddlebone)
Are nothing more than agents for the Cat who all the time
Just controls their operations: the Napoleon of Crime!

They could have got it renewed quickly in Dublin. They have a rapid renewal service for people who are supposed to be travelling very soon.
Since they've already applied and are waiting to get them sent out, I'm not sure if it would work.
Theoretically, if I was home and was travelling on Wednesday, I could realise that my passport is out of date now and get the whole thing sorted tomorrow.0 -

Ah yeah it's really annoying like they sent away for a new one about a month ago and if was supposed to be one of those "express passports" :rolleyes: :P 0 -

A month? Coincidentally, I just got my passport today, having only applied 11 working days ago. I was a little worried because I'm going to Belgium next week!
On an unrelated note, does anyone know how I go about renting a house with other first years? I only know one guy who's also going to UCD but I think he's staying in student accommodation. I know I may not have a say in the matter, but I'd prefer to live with first years!0 -
All this finding accomodation business sounds really stressful..and expensive!Won't get it done that soon. 3 days is the quickest they can do I believe. My sister was due to fly to Birmingham last October with mother and 2 other sisters. Passport was out of date so dad went to the passport office in Dublin on Monday, spent the day waiting for it to be processed and got it done on Wednesday just in time for her early morning flight on Thursday
Was that recently?
This is a pilot scheme for people travelling in less than 3 days, if you book an appointment for tomorrow(appointments are limited), they'll try to get it done by the end of the day. They charge you over twice the usual price though 0 -

Well, they could issue one for 30 years, and charge accordingly ... would be easier for them actually.Hotfail.com wrote: »That's what I'd have thought
And then 48 year old Hotfail would approach an entry point at an airport in Thailand and be told, as he wiped the perspiration from his shining bald head, "this isn't you!!" as they look at the pic of his 18 year old self.
Tbh, even 10 years is a lot, people can be virtually unrecognisable from passport pics 5 years after issue.0 -

Yes, I am a subscriber.
Whether that's sad ... well, I suppose it may seem so to you kids who know only the present Boards, and take it for granted as a free service which someone provides!
I go back far enough though to remember the days when Distilled weren't involved, there was no money at all, no-one was employed and every update (usually loooong overdue) was done by one or other of the more techie admins in their spare time. Hell, I even vaguely remember (though I wasn't registered at the time, just an occasional browser) when the servers lived under a desk in John's office in Galway!
Plus there are some advantages to being a subscriber (though I have to admit most of them are replicated for moderators).0 -
