Passport office

A new passport: take a selfie and apply online - fine

A quick passport: go to the post office and get a form, once you have the form you can then apply online for an appointment (none available at the moment) to go for an interview at the post office for the same people from the first place to send you your passport in a shorter time.

Just make option 2 the same as option 1 but you pay more.

Side note: don’t take a selfie. It mirrors the image and then you can’t get through the fancy new facial recognition gates at the airport. My mate found this out the hard way.

My exam today. Answer five of six questions. The idea being if there’s one topic of the six topics you’re not particularly good on you can choose another.

Question five was repeated for six, and so technically I was disadvantaged on what was a bloody hard exam. It’s bad enough having to sit through this in my 30s without them making it harder through their error. Stressed me out before I even started typing.

Also the test centre. Fucking toilet located on ground floor outside of the one way exit. So to use it I had to walk a full five minutes down three flights, back out of the building and then in again, showing ID several times and redoing the security check. Ten minutes it took plus piss time. A joke for a strict three hour exam. And yes I ran out of time and had to rush the last two questions.

In the same room as people doing their driving theory tests so constantly people coming in and out too.

Excuses are very much ready to go if I fail.

Regardless of your results you should really lodge a complaint about the whole process now and not wait till after.

Reminds me of the time when I had a job interview and wasn't briefed about what I had to do. I was supposed to do a practical test for 15 minutes and a written test for another 15 minutes. It all took me by surprise but even worse the stupid bitch business manager gave me about 10 minutes for each, so I hadn't been given the full amount of time to complete the tests. Didn't get the job, which was probably a blessing.

The main roads around the city all been made much less wide. Then add buses in and you get lots of traffic all stuck behind a bus all the way.

Be interesting to see if the air is any cleaner

Great lack of transparency from new employers, just after handing my notice in at current job and then they inform me of a weeks training in Leek. They’ve had nearly 3 weeks to tell me but seemingly forgot to mention it. Fuck off.

Before I start, I know- look at me! Sat in Moon Beach on Levante having several bottles of Mahou. Watching the mobility scooters wizzing by and the predominance of Leeds tops.
Anyway back on topic. Why do people hold their phone at 90’ to their ears when taking a call? Bloody daft if you ask me.

Introduced my parents to Uber when we played Pompey in Brum a few years back. They would refuse to get one usually.
The driver turned up late, then didn’t know where St Andrew’s was…from the city centre. Turns out he was from Wolverhampton or Walsall or somewhere. On the plus side it was really cold so we stayed warm for longer, arriving just before kick off.
Also on the plus side I took a good pic of my parents sat in the Pompey end looking all pissed off after we beat them! Ha Ha ha!

Not always straight forwars as sometimes, there is somebody at each junction, where 3 or 4 cars sit there because there is always someone to your right - Needs one person to make the 1st move

been in that situation, always makes me laugh as most people just sit there waiting for the one on their right to go, I just go first and watch the rest follow in order, but my moan is when there's only two cars involved and you are turning as per your permission and the other idiot nearly comes through the side of you
