OP is...........plum of the week!
Almost 30? I had you pegged for 14.
...in which case I would also ID you.
OP is...........plum of the week!
yes i expect in you're perfect world we would all have ID implanted on to our fore heads
good grief.
people that live in a free country should not need to carry ID
Maybe he likes ugly mugs, and was trying to chat you up?
This is why they designed the internet. For things just like this.
You want to watch that.
There's a Thai chap used to work at our local Morrisons. He IDed me for booze, even though I'm 32 and bearded. Showed him my driving license, and on my way out another member of staff came over and said he asks for the ID of blokes he fancies in order to get their address from the driving license 😯
ive added it to my list of reasons to emigrate from the country formally known as Great Britain.
Grow a beard and stop wearing dayglo socks and skinny jeans you fancy dan fixie riding fashion niche boy.
Oh, congrats for nearly getting to thirty even though you're comparing slightly jobsworthy people to SS death camp guards.
ive added it to my list of reasons to emigrate from the country formally known as Great Britain.
In which case can I recommend the Land of the Free that is the United States of America? No one ever gets asked for ID there.
How hard exactly is it to carry your driving license around?
"people that live in a free country should not need to carry ID "
We don't live in a free country. For example, we don't let children buy alcohol.
You however are free to not enter establishments requiring ID, and so you can save yourself the bother of getting all worked up over nothing.
I needed ID to buy a beer at Vegas airport the other week - I'm 53
before we know it it will be law to carry id then we will be punished for not carrying it, this country is slipping towards dictatorship,

I'm guessing you missed the ID card fiasco then?
You sir, are either a **** or trolling.
I needed ID to buy a small amount of foreign currency the other day. The cashier informed me that had I come in with £100,000 in cash I wouldn't have needed it, but for £70 worth of Australian Dollars that is a different matter. strange.

yea it did'nt work so their just trying a different method to get all citizens to carry ID , and you sir are also a **** and future slave to a oppressive regime .
I have ID on my head but it's only compatible with face recognition systems.

Lordy!
its like some thing out of 1984... i dont have an Ilose as i dont want to be tracked at all times by both the government and apple. Freedom is slipping away and most people are to stupid or naive to see what is happening.

Don't be stupid. Have you even read that?
Yes i have at degree level.

Don't let is hold you up, Unfortunately you might need ID to get on board 😉
if nothing else, this thread is proof that degrees are pretty much worthless these days.
You claim to have read at university, yet basic spelling and grammar seem beyond you.
You sir, are either a **** or trolling.
It's a free country, he can be both can't he? And agree with Jamie about the 14, even though he's read 1984 [u][b]at degree level[/u][/b]
Yes i have at degree level.
And you think that having to show proof of age to a shop worker is like being under video surveillance 24 hours a day, indoctrinated and living under thread of instant arrest and torture without trial if you say anything slightly out of line?
To be honest it gets me a bit annoyed when people complain about 'Big Brother' and Britain being a 'police state'. Plenty of people in the world had to deal with that crap for real for decades; I'm sure they'd have been thrilled to bits to have nothing but the occasional age check to deal with.

Do you not have ID? Drivers license? Passport? quit moaning, if you need beer that badly, you'll remember to carry ID in future.

How is my freedom being eroded please?

Big Brother Watch calculates that, per person, people in the Outer Hebrides were the most watched, with eight cameras for every 1,000 residents.
id call that a heavily surveyed population wouldn't you?
http://www.bigbrotherwatch.org.uk/
So someone decided they didn't want you in their establishment - goodness knows why - and used the 'no ID' excuse to get rid of you?
How is my freedom being eroded please?
you every move is watched, every phone call, txt and email you send is recorded and monitored. Ur DNA is kept on record.
Between 1997 and 2010, the last government quadrupled pre-charge detention, enacted over 3,000 new criminal offences and introduced identity cards. Random police stop and search expanded exponentially. Free speech has been undermined, whilst control orders introduced house arrest for individuals who have not been convicted of any crime.

i think the two way tv represents the internet and how its closely monitored buy the state.
How can it represent something that didn't exist when the novel was written? Would be more plausible to say that the internet is similar to the video screens, but entirely wrong on a couple of very minor issues.
You can turn off the internet, and it doesn't monitor everything you say or do in life. Also, BT Internet (or whoever) aren't going to whisk you away to a torture chamber when you say something they don't like.
If you are well educated then you should know what hyperbole means 🙂

No it's not.
No it's not.

I get asked asked for ID all the time
get over yourself 🙄
people laugh when they realise im 20 (almost 21) 🙁
Yes i have at degree level.
I read it when I was 9....
No it's not.
Erm, you might want to rethink that, Mol. Every 'phone call you make, internet activity etc can [i]potentially[/i] be monitored, this is a fact*. And not always by those who should be monitoring it; see the NotW 'phone hacking case...
And if you're nicked, your DNA is kept on record. Even if you're convicted or not. They may [i]tell[/i] you it's not, but trust me; you'd be pretty alarmed at the amount of information [i]foreign[/i] governments, let alone your own, have on you...
Tin foil hat well and truly stuck firmly on me bonce.
*Unless you are actually someone 'interesting', you've probbly got very little to worry about, is the reality.
I get asked asked for ID all the time
Yeah, but in fairness poppet, [i]you[/i] probbly do look very young (compliment, compliment!). 😀
I jolly well have not bin asked for ID in years. 😥
OP is ilovemygears mk2, albeit with a spellchecker
You need id to get onto the college I work at, good thing too. Stops dealers, thieves and others accessing the site and making everyone's life shit.
No it's not.
Yes they are http://www.metro.co.uk/news/68143-your-phone-calls-are-no-longer-private
Phone calls and unencrypted internet communications can POTENTIALLY be monitored or their details passed onto police. However, the OP said that they were monitoring MY every move which is a) not the same thing and b) bolx.
From the article:
The time and length of the call and the name and address of the phone's owner will be recorded under the legislation
A long way from knowing what you've actually said, isn't it?
He also said that they have my DNA which is not true cos I've never been nicked.
And not always by those who should be monitoring it; see the NotW 'phone hacking case...
In that case, the people in question left their messages unsecured. I left my car unlocked once and someone stole my sunglasses. Wrong, but not really sinister evidence of a police state, is it?
There's a massive difference between the ability to do something and doing it. I could potentially hunt you down and murder you in your sleep, as could most other people. We don't, though.
Oh and I read 1984 when I was a kid, read it again as an adult and realised how much I'd missed when I was a kid.. many things are improved by reading again as you get older 🙂
[i]their just trying a different method to get all citizens to carry ID ,[/i]
no they're not. It's the shops trying to protect themselves from huge fines for selling booze to kids
I'm 46. I haven't been ID'd since I was 17. Grey hair helps, I admit.
Maybe the shop assistant (who the OP referred to as a fat ****) just thought he was a bit of a nob and fancied winding him up..?
Do you not have ID? Drivers license? Passport?
I don't have a drivers' licence and I'm pretty sure that my passport has expired, or will soon.
But I've never been asked for ID, so it doesn't really matter.
Wow. This thread is beautifully barking.
OP, I'm worried about you, dude. Did that dead sheep infusion go to your head?
yea it did'nt work so their just trying a different method to get all citizens to carry ID , and you sir are also a **** and future slave to a oppressive regime .
Perhaps you ought to have a shufti at Twitter sometime, particularly the #tags that relate to #Syria, #Yemen, #North Korea...
Maybe then you might actually get a proper education, and not some dumb low-rent media degree, and actually learn something about real life in a repressive regime.
jumpupanddown, you, sir, are a hyper-paranoid troll, and I claim my five pounds
If you try to buy any sort of TV type thing, they demand your details then pass them on to the TV Licence people. This is not a legal requirement, yet shops will and do refuse to sell you a telly if you don't give your full name and address, plus they often want proof of ID and addy too.
I know this cos I tried to buy my dad a telly from one of they Currys or Comet or whatever it was oh I can't remember.
He's over 75 so qualifies for a free TV licence. But as I was trying to buy it (on me card, innit, saves carrying bundles of cash down there), they insisted on me giving them my full name, address an ting.
They have no legal right to do this, yet were insistent I gave them my details. Bastards.
I din't give them owt, as next thing I'll get loads of hassle from the TV licence gestapo for a TV I jolly well have not got (and a million and one unsolicited 'offers' from all sorts of companies trying to sell me shite I don't want...). Ended up getting a relative to sort it instead.
hahaha. oh deary me, welcome to modern life OP. Do you want cashback?
You gotta be like Jeff Bridges in Tron Legacy, dudes...
Don't fight it. Stay zen. And the bad things can't ruin your lives.
Having said that, these are my favourite threads, so please carry on! 😆

How dare they! And there was me thinking having your father dragged away in the middle of the night and never seeing him again was bad!
In which case can I recommend the Land of the Free that is the United States of America? No one ever gets asked for ID there.
Yeah, just ask the 12 million or so illegal immigrants we have running around the country---of course my state,New Mexico, trying to do it's par,t gives drivers licenses to illegal immigrants---come one, come all!!!
Many countries don't allow the use of unregistered PAYG mobile 'phones. Our government has bin trying to enforce this for some time now.
Why? Shoon't people have the right to be able to use a 'phone anonymously if they so choose?
Whilst the OP may be just a tad reactionary, the reality of the level of information that all sorts of people, including private organisations abroad, can gain about you, is quite disturbing.
Some parents in the US in particular are having their children chipped with RFID devices, to try to help prevent kidnapping and be able to track where their kids are.
Hmmm.......
Yeah, just ask the 12 million or so illegal immigrants [b]we[/b] have running around the country
What, the 12 million or so what prop up many of [b]your[/b] industries, you mean?
Did the Pilgrim Fathers have to apply for Visas off the indigenous people before they entered America?
How dare they!
Erm, well, yeah, actually. Tell me what Law states you have to give ID in order to be able to buy a TV?

haha, in Canada you have to provide 2 forms of ID to be served at a liquor store.
I didn't when I was there in 2009
Erm, well, yeah, actually. Tell me what Law states you have to give ID in order to be able to buy a TV?
Not quite my point. What I am objecting to is people feeling as if they have a grievance on the same level as those who had (and still have) to live through actual police states.
Have some perspective, that's all.
ive added it to my list of reasons to emigrate
How long 'til you finish this list? Can we help you with any of it?
Did the Pilgrim Fathers have to apply for Visas off the indigenous people before they entered America?
Nah, they just told the locals that the King had sent them, so no cause for worry or alarm

Yeah, that's what they told Picasso.

Which countries have you got on the list? I'd hate for you to arrive before discovering that they have compulsory ID cards.
Isn't it funny that all the made up second log in troll types such as the OP absolutely, positively have to be right wing?
One would assume that leftie loonies are a harder thing to carry off?
My money is on ton, as a way of recuperating...

I'm not convinced its purely right wing to throw a strop at an unexpected booze delivery delay. I think that's just called being thirsty.
I didn't when I was there in 2009
Maybe it's just because I still only look about 17 but I have to provide my driving license and passport if I want to buy beer.
ah well there you go.

Very funny. Apparently borderline illiterate alleged graduate throws toys out of pram because someone didn't believe he was 21. And then demonstrates he doesn't know anything about the ID requirements of other countries. 😆
Don't bother to write home when you emigrate

the OP
It's such a shame that somehow typing has bypassed rational thought.
How is that even possible?
[\bored with purile rants]
Incidentally, what's the difference between just reading 1984, and reading it at degree level?
