czajkowskianyoen know where I'd find rules about bringing dogs into ireland from eu ?15:16
czajkowskiebel: *pokeage*15:18
ebelahoy15:18
* ebel has no idea how to import a dog…15:18
czajkowskibah you usually know lots of random facts15:18
ebelyou could look at a pet passport? or one of those silly 6 month quantine thinges15:18
ebelDepends if you mean UK or rest of EU.15:18
ebeldon't think there's any rabies in UK, which /might/ make matters easier15:19
czajkowskiisle of man15:20
ebeldon't think isle of man is in EU :P15:20
ebeltisn't even in UK15:20
czajkowskibah15:20
ebel(Then again EU borders brazil, so things are funny :) )15:21
slashtommyireland is in the EU, so are you thinking about bringing a dog from limerick to dublin?15:21
czajkowskinooooo15:21
ebelslashtommy: pedant. "into ireland from eu"15:21
ebelslashtommy: wonder would áine know? you'd presume they'd know about moving dogs around…15:22
slashtommyok, derry to dublin15:22
slashtommytry the ferry company15:22
slashtommythey would be the people who require the documentation15:23
slashtommyalso, isle of man of CTA15:23
slashtommyso you would probably be fine15:23
czajkowskiwhat is CTA ?15:23
slashtommycommon travel area15:24
ebelCTA = common travel area, and is why you can drive to northern ireland without needing a passport15:24
slashtommyin includes UK, Ireland, Isle of Man and Channel Islands15:24
ebelit's like a tiny little schengen area for ireland, uk etc.15:24
slashtommyever wonder why when you land in heathrow, you aren't required to present your passport15:24
czajkowskiI am15:25
czajkowskievery time15:25
czajkowskithought I go through the automatic thingy now that just scans15:25
slashtommynope, we weren't15:25
czajkowskiso very handy15:25
ebelczajkowski: you are legally allowed to present just a driving licence or whatever.15:26
slashtommyand we weren't when we flew into Gatwick or Birmingham15:26
czajkowskiif I go through the manual one I just show the bording card thats fine15:26
ebelthough some airlines (e.g. ryanair) will not let you check in without a passport15:26
ebelhowever the (say) french border control insist on passport15:26
slashtommythere is no passport control for flights from Ireland landing at Birmingham, Heathrow, Bristol or Gatwick15:26
czajkowskiyup15:26
czajkowskijon travels over here on his drivers licence with aer lingus15:26
slashtommyi have confirmed those in person15:26
czajkowskibut I have seen people refused with that with ryanair15:27
slashtommyczajkowski: i'm talking about arriving, not departing15:27
czajkowskiahhh15:27
czajkowskiok15:27
slashtommyUK and Ireland airports do not require to see your passport/ID until you're at the gate15:27
slashtommythere is no outgoing passport control15:27
slashtommythere is only outgoing passport control when flying from schengen out15:28
slashtommyyou meet passport control when arriving into dublin, but if arriving from CTA airports you can show your driving licence15:29
slashtommyi have used both british and irish driving licences15:30
slashtommyi don't know about shannon, don't intend to go there15:30
czajkowskinods15:30
ebelczajkowski: these lads seem to do pet passports http://www.agriculture.gov.ie/pets/15:31
czajkowskigreat thanks15:32
ebelczajkowski: maybe ring 'em up and explain it? or contact the port/airport where you intent to enter ireland15:32
ebelsince isle of man (a) isn't EU and (b) might be closer (and hence laxer regs) than rest of eu15:32
czajkowskiaye15:32
czajkowskiall will become clear15:32
czajkowski:)15:32
czajkowskicheers folks15:32
neuro_syso/18:29
neuro_sysalso \o18:29
czajkowskineuro_sys: aloha18:29
czajkowskiTake a peek at a bunch of Microsoft lobbying documents sent to the cabinet office - don't miss the footer on the Microsoft email claiming exemption from the Freedom of Information act. The Cabinet office doesn't give a stuff what Microsoft think is exempt any more. http://www.whatdotheyknow.com/request/open_standards_when_specifying_i18:29
neuro_sysdoes any of you dig literature? :-p I need some random literary text to write a random paper about for the class.18:31
czajkowskiwanna try that again ?18:32
neuro_sysI mean, I need recommendations for any piece of literature which was produced by some irish individual.18:32
zmoylanwilde, joyce18:33
zmoylangb shaw18:33
zmoylanswift18:34
neuro_sysI think it needs to be less known, less british (excluding joyce).18:34
neuro_sysanyway, those as well could be done though, I'll find something.18:34
zmoylanhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Irish_writers18:34
zmoylanmany many authors18:35
neuro_sysactually I loved Flann O'Brien.18:35
zmoylanpersonally i love shaw, wilde and swift.  just so far beyond their contemporaries.18:35
neuro_sysyaay, I'll do Lord Dunsany then18:36
neuro_sysI love them too. they're like just too english, except maybe swift? I may be purely delusional about that by ignorance though.18:37
czajkowskiclearly18:37
zmoylani read wilde and shaw as incredibly irish.  found out at aunts funeral that she had corresponded with shaw when she was young.18:38
neuro_sysI don't know nothing about irish except their women should be incredibly hot.18:41
zmoylanthat's an odd comment18:42
zmoylantoo much a generalisation18:42
neuro_syssome sort of optimism18:42
