Whilst I have toyed with the idea a few times in the past few years.

I am going to submit the papers to leave the country in October. this can take anywhere from 1 year to 10 months to finalise. Before this I will apply for my British passport to avoid future problems once the exit from the EU is complete.

Lately several factors seem to be leading to this.
Redundancies, probably having to move out as our place will be demolished, and now with this economic uncertainty it's perhaps time to go.

Now I am 'mid thirties' time to set up shop elsewhere with a quieter lifestyle but a good standard of living, somewhere I can actually afford to buy a home. I have actually been offered a mortgage abroad without even living there.

I hope the pound value stabilises as it hits our plan a bit but still doable. I was nearly able to get double my money in Canadian dollar.

This time it will be done. If anyone wants a good deal on a Fiat 500l In October let me know :thumbup:
I will probably replace it with a pick up truck or ford mustang once I am settled in new parts.

I think poor old f has become overwrought. He doesn't like turmoil. It has a bad effect on him. :-(

yep. I do not like unsettled stuff.


However my recent visit may have led to the decision :-)

Relatives with basements bigger than my flat :-( not that it's all about having a big house. I'd quite like to have one.

Yes, well Canada is a big place with lots of space. No denying it.

It's also as dull as ****, of course, but it's your call.

That being said Burney. They have rather good supermarkets.

This is the best supermarket I have ever been to. http://www.blogto.com/city/2011/11/n..._leaf_gardens/

Roughly £150 for the citizenship application and then £35 for the passport.

One of what, an Ulsterman?

Speaking of which, your lads have seized on this thing to put a referendum on unification on the agenda. Exciting, eh? Then you'd never have to worry about any borders when popping up to see the rellies. Just 750k angry prods, of course.

That is the sum fees for one who has to become an Irish citizen as opposed to a person who has the family heritage to obtain one.

The fee for each application for naturalisation is €175.

The following are the relevant fees to be paid when the certificate of naturalisation is issued.
Application on behalf of a minor €200
Widow, widower or surviving civil partner of Irish citizen €200
Refugee, stateless person or programme refugee No charge
Others €950

Yes, I noted SF straight onto the bandwagon with that one. James McLean even found time during this preparations for the France game to tweet on the matter. Enormous ****ing **** that he is.

I suppose their assumption is that all or most Catholics will be Nationalists and will vote for reunification, the dirty Hun obviously not. I am unsure if it will simply be as black and white as that of course as (some) people will want to look at other economic and social issues as opposed to us simply having one football team.

I have to say an enforced border would be a horrible pain in the arse and I wish only good luck to whatever security forces were ordered to roll into areas in South Armagh etc. to enforce this.
