    OK, were in June now, how long before the crop of questions about passport processing times 'because I'm going away next week' from people who couldn't be bothered to renew their passports in good time?

    About the same time as the crop of questions from people asking if they can get a refund on their flights as the price has gone down since they booked . . .

    Hmmmm for you to even start a thread like this, about these questions that are asked over and over and over and over again - it says to me that you are on here far too much (not) helping people with their questions.

    Just saying ...

    If anyone asks a sensible question that I can help with i'm always happy to help at length.

    eg. http://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/showpost.php?p=61275957&postcount=22

    I also post many relevant news stories often before 'other British media chappies' pick up on them

    eg. http://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/showpost.php?p=61700069&postcount=1

    I treat most things in life with a sense of humour, take it or leave it.

    If you want know about buses to the airport in Laos or backpacking around India, £83 flights from Singapore to Perth or cheap places to say in KL. Some people however are just too lazy even to type the word Google.
    The phrase personal responsibility seems to be missing from life today.
    My computer is near the door, as I go in and out I usually check various things throughout the day even though I'm (thankfully) not in Poundland at present.

    Bloke reading brochures in the Travel Agents told me I need to have 6 months left on my passport before I'm allowed to travel overseas, is this right?
    My neighbor's friend says I need a passport to visit Ireland?
    Lady at work says it takes 3 months to get a visa for USA?
    Can I add my 6 month old to my passport like we used to?
    I'm getting married overseas can I legally travel back on my passport which will then be in the wrong name or do I need to stay in the Honeymoon Paradise Hotel for months until Passport Agency send updated passport out to me (I'm keen on this but future husband not sure how he can get still collect dole and sign on for jobseekers allowance every week).

    That's about all the stupid passport questions I remember from here in past few months.
    If you're going to do a FASQ as least provide the answers ;)

    That's easy - just phone the airline and they'll sort it for you. Only a mug pays :money:

    My European travel Insurance includes Tunisia.
    Does that mean I can use the EHIC there?:)
