Well you look look a Ranga. Anyway, the point is that I was trying to be funny and the comment really was not intended to stand up to literal scrutiny.

Going back to your defense of JAJ, I looked back at some of your posts and thought how pedestrian and hackneyed your thoughts tended to be, which really puts paid to the notion that just because someone has thousands of posts to their "credit", that they are of any value whatsoever. Quality, not quantity.

Hi all. Hope someone might be able to help, since the British High Commission charge $1.50 per min for the privilege of talking to them.

I'm a British national and my wife is Irish, but my 3-year old son is Aussie (there is a joke in there somewhere). Anyway, we're moving back to the UK permanently very shortly and we overlooked the need to get him a passport. I'm sure he'd be entitled to a British passport, but it's very expensive to get one here in Oz and it's very short notice.

If we go back to the UK without a British passport for him, at some point we'll have to get one, but I assume he'd be entitled to stay for a while as an Aussie whilst we sort it out there.

Any advice would be welcome.

Do they still use the term "wally" in the UK meaning nerd, geek, looser, or perhaps a person who's company is found to be undesirable or uninspiring?

Thanks for your advice, but you still sound a bit of a dill; re the above comment. It must be obvious that my posts placement here, if it's not supposed to be, was a mistake and pointing it out to me in a nice way would have gone down better :thumbdown:.

All those stars have gone to your head, perhaps.

Don't know how much he wants to spend, but the Irish childs passport is only 16 EURO for children Under 3, and 26.50 EURO for Children over 3.

All you have to do is contact the Irish Embassy here in Australia and they will get the forms out to you.

They don't use the term Wally so much now... what they tend to do is smack tw@ts like you in the mouth first and ask questions later.

You came on here because you are too much of a tight arse to get professional advice for your 'problem' and then start having a go at the first person who tries to help.

What a Wally.

I used to say that at school, are you from the Joey Deacon era or the Stephen Hawkings one? Personally I am Joey Deacon - we used to say 'Joey' or 'Dill' with our tongues in funny positions.

I guess I’m a bit toward the edge of the Bell Curve, but you sound like you’re right in the middle. Do you get invited to dinner parties much?



At last, someone who does not take this seriously.



Bargain. Thanks.



I bet you wrote that on your mum’s PC in between having a pull over the latest offer from Apple and having a chat to your mates in Clingon. I’ll wait for your next response after your tea, as I think your mum is calling.



Actually dill is a bit of an Aussie colloquialism and is common. Interesting you mention Stephen Hawking. Some years ago I called the Sun Newspaper to see how much they would pay for a story about Hawking and that he really was just a jelly brain in a remote controlled wheelchair operated by someone hiding around the corner with a walkie talkie.

Oh, and.....



Well I really cooked my goose there, didn't I. Although smart people might use a different username. Duh!
