lapal_fan Posted July 19, 2022 Share Posted July 19, 2022 Why don't they introduce passport printing at airports? It would make a killing and surely due to the internet/video calls etc there are ways of confirming identity - and airports are always the place these things go missing!

Too many stories about people turning up without passports. I once missed a flight (for work) as I forgot my passport. I had to tell my boss (who was based in Spain) there was a big accident on the motorway which made me late. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seat68 Posted July 19, 2022 Share Posted July 19, 2022 Is there a way, let's say someone has me blocked me and they don't want to see me even if I am quoted by others. Is there a way to do that? I am making some absolutely bellend posting for effect type comments and I really wouldn't want people who have me blocked to read it, even if quoted. Is it possible? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
