UK Gathering 2010?

[Brice]

Oh hell, I need to go check mine!

Do you need a passport, Daghain? I mean, you're part of the EU and so is the UK so if you just have some kind of ID card, you don't need to check your passport! (I never showed mine when going to London)

When did the US become part of the EU?

I was sure Daghain was Irish! Damn those flags!

It is wishful thinking on her part. ..and I believe Irish heritage.

I thought maybe y'all European's got sneaky and made the US a part of the EU when we weren't paying attention.

I am pretty certain , that we wouldnt make the cut in that club. But getting a passport typically only requires some time and a bit of money. You just fill in a form and take your photo. Then you give them the money...done! No sweat.

[Jean]

Even here getting a passport is easy. It's the visa that presents a problem...

[alinda]

right again Jean. In the US tho' tourism to the UK is usually not a problem at all. Unless you have a police record for terrorism or something I believe the UK would be a breeze. " I am going to London to buy stuff" ....oh ok, be sure to get expensive stuff, so we get a lot of tax ok?

[Darkthoughts]

So if we were to bring the kids we could just drop them off with Darker's kids (and babysitter) while we all head out to the pub or wherever, right?

My "babysitter" will be Rob, back home in the Cotswolds...what happens in London stays in London

[Brice]

[alinda]

Oh lala, :dreams:

[Darkthoughts]

I think Rob's seen enough of me getting drunk to last him a life time

[alinda]

One of the many reasons I stopped drinking as a way to entertainmyself.
I fall in love with EVERYBODY I meet when on drink...this was preposterous
I can assure you.

[Darkthoughts]

I have greatly calmed down (drinkwise) over the past ten years...a relief to all who know me I'm sure!

[alinda]

Isn't it a hoot now when you enter a room sober, and watch drunken people and know that you too once behaved like that? Cracks me up. Another plus is I remember stuff the next day, and my sister will say, what happened last night? I could tell her anything but I don't . I've learned that it is possible to have just one. damn I was such a lush back in my youth.

Anyhoo, If I can manage this trip I'll be so high on meeting you all I may never come down!!

I'm in Colorado.

But yeah, I'd love to move to Ireland. If the government keeps going the way it is, that option will keep looking better and better.

Excellent.

[Patrick]

For you Americans who need a passport, click here.

The more the merrier in 2010.

[Brice]

Thanks Patrick! Now I know where I need to go.

[alinda]

*thats all taken care of*

[Daghain]

Damn, I'm glad I checked my passport! It expires in February of 2010! I'll have to make sure I take care of that this summer!

We may be eurocentric, but still, making the whole of the US part of the EU would be quite tricky, although there are new members all the time and a lot more countries to remember when in school. I'm glad there were only 15 when I was in high-school Maybe if you get tired of being on your own on the other side of the ocean, you can join though. It's all a lot of fun and no need for a passport (I only need to show my ID card anywhere in the EU, which is really great cause the picture on my passport doesn't look too great!)

[alinda]

mine hasnt looked great in 10 years

[Daghain]

Well, you know what they say...if you look like the picture on your passport, you're too sick to travel.

If it were my decision to make we'd join.


...and Daggers.

[Daghain]

Trust me, I'm going to a makeup/hairstylist before I have mine renewed.

My last one was SAD.

[Magenta]

That sounds great a meet-up in London !! Listen to me I've only just joined and already trying to invite myself on get-togethers

I've never been to London .....how bad's that? Our capital city. Must be that great North - South divide haha

[Matt]

Hey Magenta--welcome to the site.

Everyone is welcome at the get togethers and just think, by then you'll have been here 2 years.

[Rjeso]

God, I wish I could afford London. Hell, I'll probably have a tough time making to the East Coast next year if that's where the next Gathering ends up being...
