"Day Nurse" is the stuff, Kovacs. While poorly I've been alternating between reading a book about Freud and Ger Greer's Courtney biog That Hole Woman so have been thinking some pretty deep thoughts. Like the other night, when my entire consciousness was excruciatingly focused on one wheezing 1/4-inch aperture in the front of my face and I finally grasped the concept of the Death Instinct.

does anyone know where my passport is? i can only find my old one and i reckon my ability to cover the sliced-off corners at passport control is somewhat limited.

Try looking in the bags you took with you when you travelled last - after one goes through passport control the tendency is to stuff the passport in the easiest found pocket before breaking into a sprint to get to the nearest Gents before those condoms full of smack vomit themselves up.

i've tried those. i had my passport in the back pocket of my jeans when i got home, and i put it down in a "safe place".
trouble is i've been doing loads of tidying up over the last week or so and i'm concerned i might have chucked it amongst a pile of papers or something.

i had to read your post twice, ben, as i was puzzled as to why you'd be a drugs mule for "smack vomit", and wondered if i'd missed a new urban drugs trend.

Best find it quick omikin, lest your next one cometh with a free ID card and the government starts looking through your bins. Or something.

They're already here. My sister had one single key of hot shit and her bowels went into a coma. Now she has to defecate through her sweat glands.

I did better than that, Ben: with my left eye feeling like a slow bullet edging into my skull, I sat queasily, squintily through an hour of presentation by old-skool Screen "cinepsychoanalysis" theorist Laura Mulvey, fisting down a couple more of the co-drydoxacol during lights-out for the screenings. Then asked a question beginning "Many of your points rang immediately true, but I found myself resisting your absolute assertions." Not really a question, I suppose.
Well, in that case, I'm sorry Louche for being too overfamiliar, and I'm sorry to everybody if this thread appeared to be patronising. That wasn't meant to be the case.
Louche, the comments I made that you objected to were really more to do with nothing much happening on the board and a rather ham-fisted attempt by me to get people talking. Same goes for this thread - but hey, can't win 'em all.

Mate, it takes a fuck of a lot for you to offend me to the point I see you as needing forgiving. Jesus, I share a board with Kovax and find him laughable these days. I simply treat new things with a combination of suspicion and contempt until they've proved they're interesting enough to enact with. The jury remains out after your two tier thread bollocks, but you're posting, which is more than can be said for most.

Why do you keep sniping at me, Louche? What's the point? If anyone ever cared about your opinion of me, you've made it plain several times already... so do you include these irrelevant little barbs only for my benefit? I don't know you, haven't met you and am not planning to; I've never felt anything much for you online one way or the other; I didn't know I was ever in your favour to fall from it, I don't really care who you like or dislike. What's the purpose? You don't contribute a great deal here; you run your own forum. You act as though you suffer by being in my online presence, but you don't leave. I don't understand this hard-on you have that refuses to go down, despite the fact that you and I barely have any contact and have no history that I remember.
This isn't baiting; I really don't see where you're coming from, at all.

Man, you never did grow out of that goth thing, did you. That's so depressing, starting from an assumption of disappointment.

Um, I’m doing genuinely bemused here. I didn’t think I was sniping at you. There was the comedy baby spat about Ulysses a bit ago but apart from that I’m not here very often and I don’t tend to bother to interact with you when I am. The reference on this thread was simply me half-assedly referencing above mentioned mini spat. I genuinely don’t know where you’ve got this sense that I’m perpetually sniping and I’m sorry you seem to think that’s the case.

i still totally can't find my passport. the passport office say the earliest i could get a replacement would be monday week, which would mean i would have to miss a three day meeting in sweden next week. work are going to kill me.

Omikin, my boss once told me that in pre-terrorism days, you could get through with ID other than a passport ie birth certificate and another form of photo ID.
I don't know how stringent they are nowadays, but it might be worth checking with the airline whether they accept any other kind of documentation.
ETA: work don't have to know that you "lost" it, surely? You can easily blame theft, flood damage, immigrants or something.

Trouble is, on his passport and any other piece of official documentation he ever receives Omikin always describes his occupation as "Firebrand Cleric".

Over new year I threw out martin's credit card after he left it wrapped in a bundle of old recipts. Amusingly mine was eaten by a ticket machine at Shadwell DLR the following day, and his cash card by a cash machine in Aldgate shortly afterwards. We had to beg for food until the replacements came. Lol!

This site is the official government passport site. It recommends what to do to replace lost/missing passports urgently here, and the local offices referred to are here.
FYI if you have an E111 you now need an EHIC instead (details here.) - the help number has proved to be both efficient and speedy in my experience (called for a card on the Tuesday and it arrived on the Saturday).

thanks guys. i've spoken to the passport office - i could get an appointment in the london office on monday, but it would then take 7 working days. i asked them if there was any way i'd be able to fly on tuesday but they said it would be impossible. they did wish me luck in finding the passport, though
i have already thought about other excuses for it being un-usable, vp, although yours are much better than mine. my current preferred option is to call in sick on the day, though. much better if my colleague from england turns up in gothenburg and gives my apologies saying that i'm ill rather than i've lost my passport.

I never knew that female incontinence was prevalent enough amongst our Scandinavian sistren to warrant a three day meeting. Another thing for them to be depressed about, perhaps.

omikin, have you seen my driving licence? I've got to give its number after I was caught speeding by a camera in Finsbury Park. I blame Benway.

it's a swedish company, hence the meeting amongst the svens.
