=== zmoylan1 is now known as zmoylan [10:35] aloha [10:41] good morning [10:42] how's limerick? [10:42] overcast today [10:42] was rather pretty yesteray [10:44] saying that it's not lashing === VampiricPada is now known as VampiricPadraig [15:16] anyoen know where I'd find rules about bringing dogs into ireland from eu ? [15:18] ebel: *pokeage* [15:18] ahoy [15:18] * ebel has no idea how to import a dog… [15:18] bah you usually know lots of random facts [15:18] you could look at a pet passport? or one of those silly 6 month quantine thinges [15:18] Depends if you mean UK or rest of EU. [15:19] don't think there's any rabies in UK, which /might/ make matters easier [15:20] isle of man [15:20] don't think isle of man is in EU :P [15:20] tisn't even in UK [15:20] bah [15:21] (Then again EU borders brazil, so things are funny :) ) [15:21] ireland is in the EU, so are you thinking about bringing a dog from limerick to dublin? [15:21] nooooo [15:21] slashtommy: pedant. "into ireland from eu" [15:22] slashtommy: wonder would áine know? you'd presume they'd know about moving dogs around… [15:22] ok, derry to dublin [15:22] try the ferry company [15:23] they would be the people who require the documentation [15:23] also, isle of man of CTA [15:23] so you would probably be fine [15:23] what is CTA ? [15:24] common travel area [15:24] CTA = common travel area, and is why you can drive to northern ireland without needing a passport [15:24] in includes UK, Ireland, Isle of Man and Channel Islands [15:24] it's like a tiny little schengen area for ireland, uk etc. [15:24] ever wonder why when you land in heathrow, you aren't required to present your passport [15:25] I am [15:25] every time [15:25] thought I go through the automatic thingy now that just scans [15:25] nope, we weren't [15:25] so very handy [15:26] czajkowski: you are legally allowed to present just a driving licence or whatever. [15:26] and we weren't when we flew into Gatwick or Birmingham [15:26] if I go through the manual one I just show the bording card thats fine [15:26] though some airlines (e.g. ryanair) will not let you check in without a passport [15:26] however the (say) french border control insist on passport [15:26] there is no passport control for flights from Ireland landing at Birmingham, Heathrow, Bristol or Gatwick [15:26] yup [15:26] jon travels over here on his drivers licence with aer lingus [15:26] i have confirmed those in person [15:27] but I have seen people refused with that with ryanair [15:27] czajkowski: i'm talking about arriving, not departing [15:27] ahhh [15:27] ok [15:27] UK and Ireland airports do not require to see your passport/ID until you're at the gate [15:27] there is no outgoing passport control [15:28] there is only outgoing passport control when flying from schengen out [15:29] you meet passport control when arriving into dublin, but if arriving from CTA airports you can show your driving licence [15:30] i have used both british and irish driving licences [15:30] i don't know about shannon, don't intend to go there [15:30] nods [15:31] czajkowski: these lads seem to do pet passports http://www.agriculture.gov.ie/pets/ [15:32] great thanks [15:32] czajkowski: maybe ring 'em up and explain it? or contact the port/airport where you intent to enter ireland [15:32] since isle of man (a) isn't EU and (b) might be closer (and hence laxer regs) than rest of eu [15:32] aye [15:32] all will become clear [15:32] :) [15:32] cheers folks [18:29] o/ [18:29] also \o [18:29] neuro_sys: aloha [18:29] Take 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_i [18:31] does any of you dig literature? :-p I need some random literary text to write a random paper about for the class. [18:32] wanna try that again ? [18:32] I mean, I need recommendations for any piece of literature which was produced by some irish individual. [18:33] wilde, joyce [18:33] gb shaw [18:34] swift [18:34] I think it needs to be less known, less british (excluding joyce). [18:34] anyway, those as well could be done though, I'll find something. [18:34] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Irish_writers [18:35] many many authors [18:35] actually I loved Flann O'Brien. [18:35] personally i love shaw, wilde and swift. just so far beyond their contemporaries. [18:36] yaay, I'll do Lord Dunsany then [18:37] I love them too. they're like just too english, except maybe swift? I may be purely delusional about that by ignorance though. [18:37] clearly [18:38] i read wilde and shaw as incredibly irish. found out at aunts funeral that she had corresponded with shaw when she was young. [18:41] I don't know nothing about irish except their women should be incredibly hot. [18:42] that's an odd comment [18:42] too much a generalisation [18:42] some sort of optimism === res22_ is now known as res22
