okay then....i decided that having outed what David Milliband had hoped to do from NY with his so-called 'charity'...and British Intelligence ONLINE were to tell me this morning that heather kempson and sylvia wood are on their way back to the UK...having escaped the new 'green tower' set-up as it were....everything is looking rather good, isn't it?....

i therefore decided to apply for my passport renewal online...to find out that the woman running the whole IPS 'thing' - their chief executive or something like that....well from the photo - she looks like an older version of the younger woman on that 'dr who spoof video' about WHOVIANS - on icanhascheezburger.....

having read through the small print...a few things were to bother me....

it is a long time since i studied british politics...around the time of 'devolution' in fact....the devolution of scotland and wales....

but i had no idea that scotland/northern ireland/wales were now independent countries in their own right....according to the passport form online, they are....

or is that just to catch out those who don't know enough about the UK etc?

secondly i wasn't asked the questions 'in the same order' as before....the one about sending your form back by a 'secure service' was on a different page....and there was no 'silliness' about 'special inks'....so it is possible that the first 'online service' that i had encountered...even though it looked almost entirely the same....had been a 'stitch page' and then a bogus one behind it....?

oh and having had another look at that passport form that i was to obtain from MANNINGTREE postoffice....well neither i nor my father had read the instructions properly...i don't need their details....so i have torn that application up and will 'mulch it' later on....yes i do not have a paper shredder at home...and so i tend to make papier mache out of receipts and the like.....which is probably safer than a 'shredder' in the long run....

obviously they are not 'independent countries' or else you would need to show your passport 'at the border' wouldn't you? of wales/scotland....i have no idea about the 'isle of man'...
