Just that

He should comb his hair and put his tie straight.

God! I hope he does! Sexy beast! wink

So happy that my passport doesn't run out until 2024..

You do know he messes up his hair deliberately for photo ops, don't you?

Reaction? Every time I see that face the 'Poundland Trump' name pops into my head!

How come women are allowed to negatively comment on Boris's appearance?

But woe betide anyone criticising a woman's appearance

It’s Johnsons favoured look ( dragged through a hedge backwards) presumably the new passports are now ready?
That’s what I made of the photo.

My reaction is ‘The state of him’ followed by ‘it looks like he’s on a plane, I wonder what paid for by whom freebie he’s jetting away for this weekend’ followed by ‘Is Carrie with him, it’s all gone quiet on that front’ followed by’ Is he being deported?’ And finally ‘And don’t bother coming back’

The silly thing is we could always chave had blue ones- or purple, bright red or any colour. The UK Home office chose burgundy. Croatia chose dark blue-black, Luxembourgians have a very ornate passport which is more like magenta. I hope the passport office is going to use up any old stock before they issue blue ones to save wasting it.

My first reaction to the photo was that it would divide posters, and that the thread would quickly turn into a snipefest

Doodledog No.
Apathy rules OK grin

Pedants - should ‘rules’ be capitalised?
Should there be a comma between ‘rules’ and ‘OK’?

I love ‘snipefest’ by the way grin

I think it’s a French company operating from Poland . Ridiculous that a perfectly good company here in the North East ( De-la-Rue) did not get the contract .

ananimous Sat 22-Feb-20 13:58:09

Ooo la! la! grin

ananimous Sat 22-Feb-20 13:57:37

Don't hate it's colour

trisher Sat 22-Feb-20 13:56:12

Yuk!

travelsafar Sat 22-Feb-20 13:56:09

wish it had the Union Jack printed on the cover and back.

eazybee Sat 22-Feb-20 13:54:23

Oh good.
I want a blue one.

Smileless2012 Sat 22-Feb-20 13:51:16

No reaction TBH. I don't care what colour my passport is as long as it does what it's supposed to do.

ananimous Sat 22-Feb-20 13:45:12

Thanks for the reminder, must apply for a new one before my next trip to Europe...

Yes, it is easy even though we have left the EU...

Calendargirl Sat 22-Feb-20 13:42:11

My passport runs out soon so will have to apply for a new one before the burgundy ones are used up.
I would have preferred a blue one.

Quite agree!

I think I have explained why I posted it

What is your reaction to this photo
Why did you post it? It's meaningless.

Lucca Sat 22-Feb-20 13:27:26

“Brandishing “ a passport which as it says below was made in Poland. Seems to make a mockery of the desperation to get out of Europe. But as I said, maybe I’m “wrong way out “ today.

Anniebach Sat 22-Feb-20 13:23:58

The PM holding a passport?

Yennifer Sat 22-Feb-20 13:13:36

Not really fussed, my new one is red, I like the colour blue more. If Britain is so wonderful why do people wanna leave anyway? x
