So, I've applied for my 'first adult passport'. All good, huh? Yeah, take the piss if you must! Anyway, the law in the UK regarding people applying for their first passport aged 16 and over must now have an interview to prove their identity. This is relatively new, and I was not aware that I would have to go for this interview seeing as it was not so long ago pretty much my entire family applied for their passports and got them.
I, however, have been singled out by the tightening claws of the British Government! That, or I just applied a little too late.

I'm not looking forward to it, even though it will be straight forward. I hate interviews or anything of the like where they probe you with questions. Knowing me I will completely cock up, forget everything I know about myself and my family and get rejected, with a "You're a fucking fruad!" stamp on my forehead.

It was quite funny. I had a letter saying that I had to go for this interview, but hadn't had the time to ring them up. I then get a phone call from one of my brothers saying that he's taking me. I had to ask him where exactly he was taking me. He told me, so I then told him I wasn't aware there was a time for this interview. I then find out my dad had rang up for me. Ha!

So yeah, Monday coming I am off to Bristol for my interview. I can't wait. Joy!

you'll be fine. it's not like it's a job interview or anything, and it's probably gonna be obvious that you've lived here all your life :p

I might put on an accent and say I want a passport so I can blow up planes. Actually, I better not.

If you fit the profile, you will be sent in a special unit to Iraq, which will then be brainwashed into thinking one of you guys is a war hero. Then that guy will get U.S. citizenship and apply for the vice president in the next election so England will once again seize control of the White house after 46 year.



Yes, Kennedy. Republicans took him out so England would lose all influence. But don't tell no one. Just stick to what they tell you.

Nothing I can't handle. Bring it on!

I hope you're good at carving coconuts. You'll have better chances.

The USA is still a colony of the UK ... The 2nd civil war (war of independence? hah) ended with the illegal document that is the declaration of independence, as it wasn't signed by the british statute maker, the King, it means the USA never legally is in existance as an independant state.

I've never carved a coconut in my life.
Really? I'll be telling everyone that now.

So lucky that Bush isn't still in power.

Right then, people, I had the interview and... it didn't go as well as it could have done.

Before you all laugh, here's why it went wrong.

I don't do well in interviews of any sort, where they're asking you a string of questions one after another, no matter what they are about. Yes, the questions were about me, but I was shitting bricks. I started to sweat. Like seriously sweat my tits off!

The interviewer asked me when one of my brothers birthdays was. Naturally, I forget. I'm crap at remembering birthdays anyway. So, I said I didn't know. He asked me what month it was. I didn't know.

The best bit was when I had to sign on this little pad screen thing. He asked if that was the same signature I signed the form with. I don't have a set signature so I had to say I don't know, I forgot.
To make it even worse, I was now beginning to think, "Shit! I'm fucking this up!" - which made me sweat even more. My hand began to shake and he asked me to write my name. I think a 5 year old could of wrote it better than me!

Reading this was the best part of my day so far, that either shows how ridiculous this was or how ridiculous my day was.

Silly questions. Or well.. the only birthday I know is my own, and I even forget that one! :o
And I got no signature either, heck, with all this keyboard typing I got no real handwriting even!
Silly to have such an interview in the first place... the big brother and all that :s
Scary stuff.
