    Default Advice - check your passport expiry date

    I thought I would enter the pre-flight details on the BA booking website this morning only to check my passport and notice it expired LAST MONTH. We fly on Monday morning. ARRRGGGGGG!Shit.

    I called the passport office and I am lucky enough to get a cancellation appointment for the fast track passport scheme tomorrow at 8:45am. I have to travel in to central London and pay £129.00 but Phew, close call!

    Had I not checked my passport today I would of been completely screwed.

    last time I booked a holiday the travel agents wouldn't issue the tickets until they had physically seen our passports was a bit of a pain in the arse but she explained that was the reason why - its happening more and more often now and of course the customers blame everyone except themselves when they lose there flights cos of there own oversight.

    On a side note the girl in the travel agents had cracking norks.

    I thought it was pretty standard knowledge nowadays that you needed a passport valid for at least six months after you return from most places??

    obviously not everyone knows though especially those who dont go abroad every year a lot of folk still think that babies and toddlers can travel on their mothers passport - which they did used to be able to do but its a no go now also - even a newborn child has to have a passport with photo

    I had that some years ago, went abroad with my son when he was about 16 months old, his passport was to last 5 years.. How the hell does that work? A baby won't really look much the same at 5 would they.

    You know he grew up as a little shitspark from the old shitflint and then he turned into a shitbonfire and driven by the winds of his monumental ignorance he turned into a raging shitfirestorm. If I get to be married to Barb I'll have total control of Sunnyvale and then I can unleash the shitnami tidal wave that will engulf Ricky and extinguish his shitflames forever. And with any luck he'll drown in the undershit of that wave. Shitwaves.

    Is it still Sticky Vicky, last I heard her daughter has taken over.
    The original Sticky Vicky must be at least in her 50's now.
