Hello Fatbrit,

Hi Dean!

Been around, but this board is my main home I'm sad to say. Glad to see you made it here. BTW, there's an interesting thread over here that you may or may not like to comment on.

couldn't they use some of the money raised from the premium rate call line to the passport office?

Or maybe some of the $512 it cost for two new passports :curse:
