Still pissed at receiving a christmas card from my next door neighbour, addressed to my dead brother Tom. Any suggestions on a socially acceptable way to correct this misinformation?

Let the card slide, not worth the hassle but if they call you Tom...

I found being direct the best approach when something similar happened to me years ago

Next door neighbour, same age, good mate, similar name, died in an accident

People used to mix up our names and neither of us really cared

After he died it was a right fucking pain

So whenever someone called me by it, id just say "wrong one" in a low monotone voice

What?

Wrong one!

They would cop and apologise, at which point i would smile and say don't worry about it

Bit awkward the time it happened in-front of his brother or his best mate though!

*In a few weeks work your name into conversation with him to sort it out
Package might come etc

Flying out to the shtates from T2 tomorrow, flight at 10.50 am so get there 3 hours before or is that excessive? Worth using airport genie? Presume it will be manic?

Get there 3 hours beforehand, yep. No need to use the airport genie unless you plan on being late. US immigration will be your biggest queue anyhow and airport genie doesn't help there. It may be different on Dec 26th, but the above applies to normal days anyhow. I have no idea how busy or otherwise the airport will be tomorrow but better safe than sorry for the sake of an hour.

**elbows** · 25-12-14, 16:32

Happy Christmas one and all. Hasn't been a great year personally but today made me realise how lucky I am.

**eamonhonda** · 25-12-14, 16:49

Airport genie is gonzo. Same service available called something else. Platinum club or something

**eamonhonda** · 25-12-14, 16:52

Also tomorrow won't be busy tomorrow, no busier than a regular winters day. Automated passport control in us customs is there now so if you have been to US in Last few years, 8 I think, on same passport you can use that. Either way won't be mad busy.

**Guest** · 25-12-14, 17:41

Cheers lads, I assume you still have to lube up if you want breakfast?

**SatNav** · 25-12-14, 18:48

Hate this time of the evening, so boring . Id say ill be in bed for 9 pm . Pub then tomorrow for 1 pm to back horses and get sloshed!

**TheDrunkenOne** · 25-12-14, 19:10

Dinner over followed by a snooze and off to a house/family party where I can say with some confidence that any post made later (much later) will be wrote by my alter ego.

Hope you all had a happy/better/hopeful/thankful Christmas

Couple of decent films available for download, 'Pride' in particular is very good. Both funny and heart warming in equal measure. Perfect Xmas day movie.

Santa, the feckless bollox, bought the young fella a Skylanders Trap Team game that apparently works on Android 4.4+. Seeing this, the addled old fool delivered it to our house, no doubt blindly assuming that it would work on our Nexus 10. Alas, it is not on the list of supported devices. Is there any smart way to get this working, save Christmas and earn yourself my undying gratitude?

Probably not what you want to hear. Go buy a new Android 4.4+ device.

See theres a few tailorfit ones for around that in Copeland, but think V mentioned somewhere else when I asked before

I don't think you can go wrong with Savoy Taylor or Brooks brothers in Kildare Village.
Got 70% off mine in Brooks brothers from retail price. Closest they have now in the regent fit is this, got it and a shirt for 330e

Just a moment...

Our youngest knows all about the ISS after spending a night getting excited about it and would have called my bluff, so didn't bother saying lol.

wow, diamonds and white gold is a hearty mix. If the kid wasn't here, I get the feeling I'd be invaded like Ukraine right now but in a, you know, sexual way

Get better soon CHD

So you gave her first thing? tell us the details of where, when and what her reaction was

Santa made the same mistake with the young fellas MiP. He has Galaxy tab 3 which is the right android version but it is not supported either. Works with my Nexus 5 & 9 ok but not handing them over as I got the Nexus 9 off Tony for Christmas!

You do most of the officers work yourself. Conditions are that you have been to US before in last 8 years I think, from a visa waiver (esta) country and you aren't too old to use the thing.

Scan your passport it takes your picture for you and your fingerprint, asks you the customs declaration questions eliminating the blue form. It then gives you a printout you hand to an officer at a small desk, he verifys the bag in the picture is yours and your on your way. So far so good hopefully it flows well come summer

Given the fact that there was little chance of the baby being born healthy and the other factors such as the difficulties of sustaining someone purely on life support for that long it was the only real call they could make, and it's good that they made it.
