Re: Visa for my little Aussie
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.

This isn't the way normal, mature people behave.
I guess you won't be receiving any more help/advice from people on BE. You'll
have go back to paying $1.50 per min for the privilege of talking to the British High Commission.
What a wally

Re: Visa for my little Aussie
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.

if needed by a certain date....I was informed by immigration that if we were to enter the UK on our Aus passports on a one way ticket we would be asked a few questions and maybe refused entry...luckily...very luckily lol...we are British and have our British passports....so it looks like you might have to bite the bullet and gain a British/Irish passport for your "little un"....sometimes we just have to dig that little deaper in our pockets that would upset my Dad as at times he has very long pockets...lol...but sometimes it just saves on the stress etc...good luck

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.

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.

Re: Visa for my little Aussie
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

All those stars have gone to your head, perhaps.

Re: Visa for my little Aussie
Gosh, where do I start.....
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!

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.

I often wonder if Stephen Hawking changed the recording of his voice box machine and made it Devonshire, would he sound quite so smart.You know if you send someone a text message to their landline phone, the message comes out in Stephen Hawkings type voice - its so funny. Very childish I shall admit but I do find it funny.
Im sure Stephen Hawkings wife beat him for annoying her - my friend said she had read it somewhere but I might check.

Well this has gone a bit pear-shaped hasn't it.
