Good job that Ireland doesn't tend to check European passports, my housemate just handed mine back to me, saying "Did you know this has expired?"

Nope - as a british citizen ireland doesnt check your passport for a very good reason:


People from the pink bit at the north tend to do a lot of driving to the green bit in the south to get cheaper petrol and stuff - there are lots of little twisty roads that it would be impossible to monitor properly, however that isnt to say that there hasnt been roadblocks - that wasnt done by the irish government though, the british govenrment used floating roadblocks and a huge big mother of a cross border check point as part of their anti terrorism strategy.

So an agreement was met that passports would be checked - it simply wasnt affordable.

Apparently they very occassionaly check them at the ports, probably just if they're feeling bored!  As it was the check consisted of them asking everyone going through the EU gate what nationality they were.

Surely they just need to listen to your accent to tell where you're from...

Indeed, and as I said "British" in a British accent I passed the test (though strangely I was acussed of having an Aussy accent at the weekend, good job the customs guy didn't think so!)

If they smelt the Guinness coming out of your pores, they might have deduced that you were Irish eh.

The US almost did not let me back in at the end of a Toronto week end. I guess the photo copy of my citizenship certificate wasn't what's deemed to be 'papers in order.'

If you had said:

Razzlesnarglezzvrmptzz

They might have suspected you to be Tasmanian eh?

My Guinness boxers are in good shape though!

Well mine's already pretty tight & has the top of the sleeves tied together with cord, but that's how I want it!

It's a pretty comfortable chord then?

I still wear both shirts, and my Guinness sweatshirt, and my Guinness polo.

Why do I get the feeling you'd enjoy going here: http://www.guinnessstorehouse.com/index.asp as much as I did?

I was just there!

Didn't spot your t-shirt. But that does remind me, I have a splashy Guinness lapel pin as well.

Cuz i used to work in a bar i got loads of guinness merchandise for free

But then my sister decided she liked the look of it and liberated most of it, apart from one polo shirt that used to be black but is just a little bit faded now. I had a limited edition snakebite tshirt as well (for st patricks day) This is the only example i could find
