Supes,? anyone about? Major nightmare..My .Passport has 7 months to run, but doesn't have a barcode. Does anyone know if that's right ? Or have I got the nightmare of trying to get a replacement NOW ????????? Help !
If you are a British traveller planning a trip to the USA from 26 June 2005, you need to check that your passport is machine-readable.
From this date anyone who does not have their own machine-readable passport, including children on a parent´s passport, will need to apply for one or obtain a visa to travel to the US. Up until now this requirement, originally introduced on 26 October 2004, has not been rigidly enforced by the US authorities. This approach will end on 26 June.
So how do you know if your passport is machine-readable?
There are two lines of letters, numbers and ´>´s printed at the bottom of the personal information page (the page with photograph and personal details). The text will be on a white strip on older machine-readable passports and directly on the pink page of newer passports. If there are no lines of text, the passport is not machine-readable.
yes, It has got those strips on white on the page under the picture, and it looks computer readable, but am just worried that it isn't a bar code. Is yours ?
It's just that the 2:09 bumf I got today says it "should contain a computer readable barcode strip of numbers and letters"
Suitcases sorted! I still have NO idea what to run in, I really need to sort my vest out SOON! I actually have NO idea what I'm taking gat all!...Just excited about that Outlet Village! HIGO! Take me with you PLEASE!
I fully agree with you guys on the smelly runners thing! We all need to agree to be honest with each other and say 'your armpits stink-go sort em out' if need be!!!!
I need to have a little moan and get tonight's events off my chest...Sorry-You guys have been lumbered with it!
My friend from Germany is here for 4 days. She called me and asked if I'd take her out for an hour so that we chat and catch up...So I of course agreed and sorted out the guestlist for us for a really nice private members club. She then told me that 2 of her friends were also coming and TOLD me to get them in-I sorted it out! I pick her up, drive her there, there's nowhere to park, she sees her friends outside the venue, I ask her if she wants me to drop her off and I'll park the car-She jumps out! I get them all in and tell them I'll be up in minute cos I want to thank my friend on the door for letting us all in properly and offer to buy her a drink at least! I went to look for my friend 4 times and couldn't find her. 2 1/2 hours later she comes down and say she is ready to go and her friend Summer NEEDS a lift home! And I have to drop her to South London!
None of them said thank you. They never once came to look for me! AND she was positive that she wanted to back by midnight...she came down at 1.30a.m!!! She had her house keys in my car, so I couldn't leave! Loads of other little factors too!
My REAL friends would definately have come to find me, they would walk with me to park my car, offer to buy the person that got them in free a drink, they would say thank you and not demand things from me.
I felt so USED. I don't need people like that in my life. I just about get time to spend with my REAL friends. Tonight has taught me a valuable lesson...I would so much have to prefered to spend the eveing at home on this here forum!
God my last post sounds so petty, but it was so amplified by recent events!
I had a nice evening-I stayed on the door with my friend...But was supposed to be spending time with my friend from Germany! Actually-The cheeky cow was with me when I got the call about my boss and I was in tears...She asked me if I could take her to Sainsburys on the way home!!!!! How insensitive and selfish!
I should go get some sleeps, seeing as I'm turning this into a Dear Diary, today....................................... ...................................................................................!
