    Not even going anyway. This was just a test and you all passed apart from Mindy but that was to be expected.

    Stay vigilant folks

    Have a good weekend.

    Disappointed @pud never started a weekend thread now that I think about it.

    Aye, bit for a few joints in '99. Still shows up. The Yanks have a serious immigration policy on drugs, no matter the quantity.

    Aye it's just a different jurisdiction of where the offence occurred I assume.

    Dual nationality has its benefits.

    Loyalists with records get Irish passports and fly to the States through Dublin.

    A friend of mine (ahem!) did, plus quite a bit of other pretty minor skullduggery including a caution for burglary (not someone's house, honest), but the ESTA came through almost immediately. It was all well over 10 years ago though so that might be why; Rehabilitation of Offenders Act and all that.

    No need to fess up though, just apply for the ESTA online, and if you get knocked back it'll cost you what, £40?
