I’m a bit distressed by these blue passports we’re going to get.

They’re the wrong shade of blue and they’re not going to be the absolutely massive, hardbacked fúckers you could never fit in a trouser pocket. :-(

This is NOT what I voted for! :furious:

It's amazing how many people are so distressed about losing their lovely burgundy number.

:hehe: Bunch of ****s.

I know. Personally, I couldn’t give a toss what colour my passport is, but the thought of a certain type of person having to carry around something that makes them quite so extraordinarily cross makes me childishly happy :hehe:

Only a matter of time before it becomes a credit card type device thing which will be worse again.

I read that we are to queue for 9 hours to enter an EU country.

What a lot of cobblers.

I can't believe that no one has rolled out the Sheringham passport picture, an AWIMB staple

I've looked and can't find it

Yes. Of course most of this panic comes from people too young to remember that travelling within most of Europe before 1993 was actually a piece of píss.

I do wonder how it is all going to work really.

See your Eurostar for example, presumably the French will want to stop and check you lot, can’t imagine your average Billy Britain being happy about being so affronted on your soil by a foreigner, so presumably you will face huge queues in Calais or Paris or however it works.

I never used it, one of my few regrets from my time of living in London. That and never attending a test match.

****ing marvellous, isn't it?

I missed Question Time last night, a Thursday night Twitter treat watching the maelstrom of **** being lost.
And then pointing out to various lefties that they are using discriminatory language. I get blocked a lot :-)

We have to go through passport control anyway, given that UK isn't in Schengen. In short, it's going to make fúck all difference.

No, he’s clearly had it deleted off of the interwebs.

If it’s any consolation, here he is in some sort of bizarre, Peaky Blinders-type outfit that makes him look a proper ****

I mean, why would anyone want to go to France?

Sure, some of their wines are ok, but really..?

French immigration already checks your písspot when you get on the train at St Pancras, sw. And vice versa at Gare Du Nord :shrug:

We shall have to see what we can do about this test match situation.

Indeed. The only way it will be a problem is if the immigration authorities in question actively decide to make it one - which is entirely possible.

Mate, have you seen the area around the Gare Du Nord lately? :hehe:

The only culture you’re gonna get there is fùcking Ebola.

Strolling arm and arm down the tree lined boulevards, remembering your O’Level French to awkwardly converse with the locals, visiting a market, a trip on the Seine, clatter of afternoon pints in an Irish bar.

Irish citizenship will allow one to continue to live and work in any EU country without a visa, basically.

However, I regard any Briton who takes advantage of this loophole to be little better than a Quisling.
