Bollocks, admit it you are waiting for a blue one

I have a supply of blue felt tip pens just in case it never actually happens.

It is something I need to sort out, I just well, haven't.

Charming as always, Gav!

You know I loves ya

 

[Monstrum]

See, experienced.

I will not be at the away leg (I do not have a valid passport as travel was not on the agenda for quite some time, for various reasons) but any Torino fans who want any tips, we'll try to help.

Its insane the uk doesnt have id cards

Driver's license?

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

I don't drive. Ethical reasons.

 

[Monstrum]

In the eu drivers license and bank cards are not accepted as valid id outside their countries of origin. If youre british you need an international passport to go to spain on holidays, I assume theyd accept drivers license for ireland and scotland

 

[Tony Towner]

Scotland is the same country from an International perspective ie UK and NI

 

[Monstrum]

It has more to do with the actual flight and airline/airport rules

Needing a passport to travel internationally? The nerve!

Didn’t have to show my passport or any ID when I flew to Belfast or on return.

Didn’t have to show my passport or any ID when I flew to Belfast or on return.

That's unusual, normally have to show at least a driving license when flying with Flybe or easyJet from Birmingham.

You can also fly with driving license to Ireland (at least until end of October), channel Islands and IoM.

All other eu countries you only need an id card (looks exactly like a drivers license) to cross the border, I think the uk are the only odd ones out. Super convinient, fits in your wallet, less of a target to get stolen, etc.

This is accurate on paper, but try boarding a plane without having id

Was going to post that. I drove to Sevilla last year from Portugal. No border control, no I.D needed at any point.

 

[Tredman]

Driving or walking is fine (except the mythical Swiss border, still get asked there every now and again).

Planes you always need proper ID card or passport even in Schengen.

 

[Johnny75]

I needed my passport in Germany to fly to France and vice versa.

I drove from Calais to Ostrava via Saarbrucken, Salzburg and Bratislava and didn't get stopped once for ID.

That just reminds me of the Brexiteers on Twitter who like to point out when they ski over the Swiss Border and there is no Border Patrol.

Oh god, why did I start looking at the replies? Is Lamina the 2nd coming of Lionel Messi or something?
