@Oaktavia

The real question are you coming

This is embarrassing but I need to get a passport!!!

[Tago Mago]

@Oaktavia the passport office may be able to help you. Also, not really embarrassing. Unless you are travelling abroad there’s no real need as far as I’m concerned. Mine was expired 10 years before I renewed it

[Kasi]

@Oaktavia

Get one ️ get yourself over to Gosport

[Daniel San]

@Oaktavia
can’t be so difficult to get a passport mate
an you should consider staying in Gosport when Trump wins maybe as IH art director

[EdH]

Gosport would be great. Mrs H already understands that our staycation this year is going to be in the area, it’s just timings we need.

[DrPat]

It takes forever to process a US passport these days. Apply now for a summer trip.

[Giles]

You certainly won't be the first American that has come to an Iron Heart party who has needed to get a passport....

[denim-dawg]

@Oaktavia Do it and then come up north and hang and get some Arctic Fades, paint some whales and get a fresh stamp in your new passport!

[DeeDee85]

The wife and I will definitely make a trip down from Yorkshire if Gosport ends up being a go

[doubletee]

I am all in for Gosport

[dinobarnesberlin]

@DrPat makes a good point. If you are even halfway considering to travel— start the passport process asap.
Since Covid, everything is still glacier slow and that goes for everything—

[Kasi]

@Denim-Dog
You coming you joker

[EdH]

Do it, @Oaktavia.

[Oaktavia]

Can't hurt to at least apply for a passport...

... only if it comes out of one's IH budget.

@Oaktavia Here’s the shit they’re not telling you and will laugh at when you show up for at the party…

Buy a bowler hat, an umbrella, and a fancy teacup to walk around with as soon as you’re out of the airport. At all times you need to be wearing the hat with the umbrella under your arm pretending to drink from the cup with your pinky extended. To truly fit in to the point where they won’t be able to tell you from any other local is to wear a monocle.

They laughed at me relentlessly the entire time I was there. Just trying to help…

[denim-dawg]

@goosehd hahahaha I want proof haha

[goosehd]

@denim-dawg …if only I could have another chance to do it right. Now I know how to dress and a bit of the vernacular so I don’t sound so out of place.

The fact that every sentence needs at least one “blimey”, “spot of tea”, or “cheerio” would have made my life so much easier when I was there.
