How do you get the fountain functioning? Mine would run for two minutes and then the pump would get clogged with cat hair

Bit more to it than that. Previously if you still had time remaining on your passport when you renewed it would get carried over to the new one, so your new passport's expiry date would be in 10 years + however many months you had remaining on your old one. You could carry as much as 9 months over, so people whose passport claims to be valid for several more months are being denied travel at the last moment because the issue date exceeds 10 years. There's also an EU rule that your passport has to be valid for three months on the day you return home, which means you can't travel really with a passport older than 9 years and ~8 months. The Government has done nothing to make people aware of this, and companies are doing nothing to prevent people booking holidays they won't be able to go on. So while I normally enjoy a a bit of Bregret it's pretty undeserved here.

Passports are bullshit anyway, should have joined Schengen. Don't even have to be in the EU for that.

Actual photo of Thames water: Piss or Lucozade Sport, only taste can tell. And lol, the rowers are going to get a lung full of poo poo water anyway in the spray. Good few going to be sick the coming week. Edit: And as for brunch, had an egg omelette burrito, two vegan sausage rolls, and an apple turnover.

I liked the recent thames story of when the police were searching the river for the guy who did the acid attack in Clapham, and didn't find his body but did find two unexpected other bodies. Corpses just bobbing about like apples in there

I'm an absolute cretin who hasn't been abroad since I was a teenager & I still know that if your passport is expiring in the 6 months after you go abroad you'd be best replacing it just in case, because different countries have different rules. Never mind a loving expired one. If we wanted passport free travel around Europe we could've joined Schengen but instead we quit the EU completely because there were Romanians coming here to work jobs that no one else wanted to do. Stupid loving country.

Monetary union without fiscal union is a bad idea. We could be in Schengen without being in the Eurozone though (or even without being in the EU, like Norway.)

Never mind a loving expired one. These people aren’t trying to travel on expired passports, the passports are valid, but the UK rule is that passports are valid for ten years, plus any leftover validity you had on your old passport at time of renewal, up to nine months. The European rule is that your passport can only be used up to the tenth anniversary of issue. So some people have up to nine months left on a passport that is more than ten years old, so they assume it’s valid and fine, but the EU won’t let them in. It is pretty dumb, but it’s not as totally dumb as trying to travel on a passport that is past its expiry date.

If you're spending hundreds of pounds at least on a holiday abroad, I feel like a bit of extra money to renew your passport is the bare minimum you should. It has reminded me that I need to renew mine, though. Not that I have any holiday plans.
