You had your favourite lunchtime sandwich yet?

Ham and tomato on granary bloomer with plenty of English mustard, and a mug of tea. It was delicious.

You ought to try a stint in aerospace.

I now ride a bicycle off road wherever I can.

PM: I'd be quite happy to get in a plane where all the flight systems were developed by my team.

QM: You must have great faith in them

PM: No, with my guys there's no chance we'd ever get it started

Nooo, don't do it! Once you sign up for an ID card, you're inviting huge £1,000+ fines if you don't keep the required 57 varieties of personal information bang up to date! Only a complete mug would voluntarily opt for one.

I thought the ID card was a good idea, now I changed my mind.

if you used to believe in AGW but now think its a con, used to think newlab would sweep away Tory sleaze then you can be in my gang

OK, you know the drill, agent wants two references (**** off, client can have them at interview) and a copy of photo id.

Now, I dont have a photo driving license. My papaer one does the job very well thank you and has the advantage that it doesnt need renewing for about another 20 years when Im in my dotage.

We dont go abroad for hols anymore due to a pet and kids education so the passport I had 'expired' about 6 years ago. Passport office did tell me once that your passport never actually expires and, I've used it over 3 years ago for my last role although the agent may not have noticed the date!

So, I dont intend forking out 100 quid(?) or thereabouts for something Im not going to use.

I know, I'll apply for the I.D. Card being introduced! Only £30 and they last 10 years according to the HO website. What's more, since I live in the north west, Im in the only location outside London Airports who can apply for them. Sorted.

Only not! Seems you must have a valid UK passport on 1 January 2009

**** it, why should I have to jump through hoops to 'prove' who I am?

Find out if they would be happy for you to produce a photograph which has been validated / verified by the Post Office or your GP as being a true representation of you. It may or may not work. HTH

Didn't you get involved in this BN66 offshore "scheme"?

If so, I'd like to ask you this question - how the **** you thought it was all good and proper to be involved in offshore schemes when you don't even hold passport, ie you are stuck on these isles (which is fine in itself), yet you get involved in things that inherently imply you travel abroad and stuff?
