I really want to play Cork at the moment but I am not able to book the time off work until next week annoyingly this should not be a problem though. I just discovered my passport has expired too! (wp me). I don"t need one to go to Cork do I? Anybody know for sure, I don"t trust google.

Technically no, or at least so I believe but in real life the UK does not have an official ID Card.
Also, most airlines (certainly Ryanair) will not let you fly unless you can produce one.
Better pay for the urgent service.

It is each passenger"s personal responsibility to ensure that he or she has valid travel documentation which meets the requirements of Ryanair, immigration and other authorities at every destination. Please also note that
A valid travel document is required by all passengers travelling on Ryanair flights (including infants)
For travel to Morocco - a valid passport is required. N.B. a EU National Identity Card is only accepted if a group of more than 8 passengers are travelling on a travel agency organised tour and hold an official hotel voucher approved by Moroccan Immigration.
A passport for travel outside the EEA (European Economic Area) must be valid for period of intended stay
If a visa is applicable any children/infants must be travelling with the adult named on a visa vignette
In order to ensure compliance, passengers should carry a valid passport (and visa if applicable) or EU/EEA government issued national identification card on all journeys. Any fines, penalties, payments or expenditures incurred as a result of breach of these requirements shall be paid by or charged to you.
Ryanair does NOT accept driver licences, residence cards, family books, seaman books, a police report (issued in the event of travel document loss/theft), military ID cards etc. Expired or damaged forms of photo-id will not be accepted on any flight.

Officially you don"t need one as our esteemed travel guru says, but most airlines demand it. The Boat however does not, but thats not really a help. Urgent service for the win.
AAroddersAA:
Urgent Service it is then.
Should really have avoided this issue based on the below post

I have just survived a heart attack.
As some of you might know I kinda booked this trip up at not quite the last minute but I wasn"t exactly well prepared. One issue I did come across is that my passport was due to expire in January. I quickly checked with Virgin Atlantic and was told this was no problem as long it it was valid for the time I was actually in the USA. I therefore happily booked up and forgot all about it.
So I am on the train today and am happily reading through some threads on the forum. I happen to click on a post by Paulie (who knows about things like this) which states that you need a passport with six months left on it. I get kinda worried for about 10 minutes until I check the government site below

Which confirms all is OK. That was nearly a legendary fail, to say I would have been unhappy is an understatement.
Anyway I have just gone through Hereford and am speeding into the Midlands towards Manchester. Not long now :-)

Not doing anything this weekend, no football to go to and no poker to play.
I am going to play online a bit going to play at least 10 of the 180 manners. Volume is not great I know but only playing 2 at once currently. Will also play the APAT league game on Sunday of course.
Next weekend is the Blonde Bash which will hopefully be fun.
Results on the sit n go"s last month were
Played: 19
Profit: $21.50
Want to try and play twice that many this month without playing too many tables.
I lost at cash again which is really annoying as I know I should do better but keep making bad plays for no real reason.
Also best get my passport sorted for Ireland.
In the non-poker world, Newport County got a new ground. They will be sharing with The Newport Gwent Dragons. Unsure how I feel about that as I feel we should have our own ground, the fans have reacted very positively though so hopefully it will be a positive thing
AAroddersAA:
Tournaments suck :-)
So far this month I have played the following
7 x $4.50"s
1 x Silverstar VIP Freeroll
1 x $3.30 PLO
1 x $11
Out of all of those I have cashed for $9 in total so I am down $36.80 (although the $11 was on one of my Big $11 token of which I have loads). So the actual total loss on tournaments is $25.80
I have not really run that well and have struggled to get going in a lot of them and seem to be consistently running into the tops of people ranges.
I have played some PLO cash ($10 Zoom) and am winning at that, up $58 over 959 hands this month which is fine. I of course then went and played a HU game and lost $50 when my AAxx got beat by a wrap, all-in preflop on what was almost an exact 50/50 spot (actually according to Odds Oracle I was 49% and he was 51%). I have been guilty of doing this recently. I win then try to spin up what I win, lose it and end up back to where I started. This month just going to try and book a winning month online. Will play some Zoom and find some hands to put in the strategy section today as I have not done so for a while.
