While I was expelled I was asked/it was suggested that I should leave at the end of the summer term 74. This was agreed during the spring holidays. For me it meant that the whole of the summer term was brilliant. Did I go on a wrecking spree no not at all. If anything I became a model pupil ...

Interesting post.
I have written about my years at CH in an earlier post and how I could not leave the school early enough. That was my way of closing the door on one part of my life. I personally would have preferred that the abuse cases had remained dormant but realize that it is of vital ...

I love traveling, whether by car sea or plane. I enjoy getting to the airport far too early, enjoying the excitement, being in the lounge etc. But here is my problem, for the last five tears I use crutches to walk and airports are difficult. I now have to rely on assistance at most airports. It is a ...

It is Time Please and not Time Out. Although Time Out is how I feel some ( most ) mornings.

Renew your passport!
Have both with you when traveling but kept separately in much the same way as having a credit card for emergencies. Just don't pull them out simultaneously at Border Control.

I feel that you making this more complicated than necessary. Regarding my family they suddenly became true green Irish...to avoid the queues.
That is what I feel is wrong.

Thank you for your reply, which I read early on Sunday morning.

I am not quite sure if people have understood my point. I left England with a UK passport 3 weeks after leaving CH fifty tears ago this year. I have been through the whole rigmarole of temporary visas, work permits etc until I got a ...

Ireland is extremely generous when it comes to who is eligible. So why did many people suddenly want to become a citizen of a ...

Small world! My parents were born in Gorey in Wexford

A small majority of people in the UK voted for Brexit and perhaps only now are starting to realize what it really ment. For a lot of people waiting in long lines at the airport seems to be the main gripe and to avoid this there are many who then rush to become a ' citizen ' of another country if ...

Do you feel like an Irish national? Have you been to Ireland? What connections apart from your Mother do you have?
Or is it just convenience? If that is so I am not sure the Irish will see you as a citizen!

Something that I do not and I believe many others do not understand fully, please feel free to enlighten us. Good or bad?

Do passports in the UK and Europe ( sad to have to write that ) actually get stamped anymore, as in the old fashioned way? Because I have had my passport taken from me at a control, looked at under some form of special lamp stamped, but when returned there was nothing to see. Is the stamp only able ...

After many hours of hard thinking I came up with something!!!

Tax free! Yes it is true I will now be able to bring back 2 litres of spirits with me. Plus fags. But not snuff ( snus ).

I will keep thinking but am not really cetain if there is something else.

I think it is only ONE litre of ...

I was one of the presumably few pupils who was asked/suggested to leave. The decision was taken during the start of the summer term 74. While my parents did not like the fact I was over the moon as it meant that only had to stay on until the end of the term. Personally it was the best decision the ...
