this morning i finally received my staff ID card for work. in with the card was a note saying they hadnae lost the original photographs after all and in fact a card had been made up for be, but it had been sent to college by mistake, instead of to my home address. so it appears that in the space of a week i have gone from being a mr. nobody with no forms of ID, to possessing a passport and two...

passport shenanigans [part07] - the end!
woohoo! my passport came today and, best of all, they’d used the decent black & white photo in it and not them mingin’ oul photo booth ones. i can now look forward to my trip to prague next week and the inevitable overzealous attentions of the various customs officials i come into contact with. for lo’ is it written in the ‘security personnel bible’ -...

passport shenanigans [part06]
well, today would have been the deadline for my passport to have come using the passport express service - were it not for the hiatus with the embassy fucking up my photographs. i s’pose i’ll have to allow an extra day or so to account for that. but if it’s not here on monday, i can feel an irate phonecall coming on!

in which your humble author conducts a series of wild and dangerous experiments to test the fragility [or otherwise] of his originally submitted passport snaps… having been told by the irish embassy, that the passport snaps i had originally submitted had been ruined by their laminating machine - with the suggestion that this had somehow been due to my printing them digitally instead of...
