Stupid Paddies
With the expiry of my provisional passport fast approaching and the threat that I may have had to temporarly inhabited the world occupied by Mehran Karimi Nasseri I thankfully got my new passport today from the Irish Consulate in Lima.

Me and Marianne stayed for a while and spoke to the Consul General, a friendly guy called Michael Russel. He told us that for the past 2 years Irish Citizens in Peru have lost or had stolen more passports than any other citizens from the EU. I also have still had no answer about whether the additonal $200 I had to pay for my passport (I was told I had to pay for the DHL charges between Dublin and South America) applies to all Irish Citizens or just me cos I’m a dirty Northerner - if anyone has ever lost their passport and has any experience of this I’d be interested to find out.

It’s not cos you’re a Dirty Northerner, it’s cos they know about your history of enjoying Steeped-Overnight Peas. How many times do i gotta tell ya Ciaran?
Anyhows, happy birthday little bro. I hope you get to enjoy it on a beach somewhere. Will be thinking of ya. Give us a call?
Oh, i think Emma’s gone in to have the ba today. Could be wrong.
