I couldn’t help noticing this on the online passport renewal site (https://www.passport-application.gov.uk/(reps14vfpkji2rnxoqpcsnfw)/index.aspx):

“On Monday 15th May 2006 at 10am the online passport application and Lost/Stolen form will be shut down for maintenance and upgrade.”

and I’m guessing that if you try to do it the long way, asking them to post you a form to fill out and then posting it back, it’s already too late to get it done in May.

So… better renew it right now then.

Livejournal users may like to know that the RSS feed is syndicated here. I'm compiling an aggregation of MPs I'm interested in here. Not a bad little tool overall. Thanks for heads up Justin, had forgotten to look at the junior reshuffle.

What good would microwaving an ID card that you had already queued up and paid for do you?

Resistance to this has to be much more active. Once you’re on the register you are theirs…

If one accidentally left the card in a Microwabe for a few seconds on full power it would be possibly difficult to read it.

I would never suggest that anyone should even consider this as a good idea.

Interpol have records of 8Mn stolen travel documents from over 80 countries. The Belgian Afghan Embassy was “broken into” last week and over 200 blank pasports and several rubber stamps appear to have gone with them…
