Oh this is just great [/sarcasm] my other half is going to spain for 6 weeks at the weekend as part of her uni course. I've been tempted to go out there in a few weeks time to see her for a few days, however I dont have a passport of my own and never have (used to be on parents one many years ago) as I
havent left the country for some 12 years now.
It was going to be touch and go to get one in time on the old system (being holiday time partly) as I cant afford to apply until early next month anyway.
If I now have to take time off work to goto an interview somewhere then its just not going to happen
as I wouldnt book any flights / ferries until I had the passport in my hand and to get good deals i'd have to book them abit in advance.
Seems like leaving the country is going to have to wait till yet another year
