Having family members who include people who sought asylum from Albania (and were granted it) when the Americans brought down the state in 1990 you are very very wrong about that.

You'd get better benefits, better food and better accommodation by throwing a brick through a police station window.

Quote from: Webbo on January 17, 2026, 07:09:43 AMMaybe I shouldn't bother with renewing my Oz passport even though I've lived here more than half my life. But, almost certainly, the Australian Government will soon introduce some new rule that requires me to have an Australian, Canadian, and Glaswegian passport for me to go where I want to go (and to get back into Australia on my return).


I didn't think you needed a Glaswegian passport, they just talk Rab C Nesbitt at you and check if you understand  :D

I managed to let my passport expire just whilst buying a house and as I don't drive (so no driving licence) that really did make the house buying a bit more exciting than intended and I had to get it renewed to deal with the idiot know your customer stuff.

Union Mills stuff goes for stupid money for some reason so you are in luck on that one.

Unfortunately I've just bought a house instead :beers:

I'm curious if this group would be interested.

I had a 6-pin decoder installed. She's run-in only, and has very little additional track time.

I have other N Gauge locos (dapol and Graham Farish) but I've not been around for a while to have a grasp of the current market.

Do you want to buy a passport?

Scarily I started to sing that to the tune of "Do You Wanna Build a Snowman?" from one of the favourite movies of the smallest members of this here household.

I loved my passport issued when I was in the RAF.

It stated as ON GOVERNMENT SERVICE
