   In the "I need to get a haircut so I can get my passport renewed" stage of planning a trip back to the UK (Timatic says that apparently my UK passport needs to be valid for me to get back into the UK but thankfully I have a valid Irish one that'll work if I fuck this up)

     If you're not familiar with Timatic then United has a convenient form at https://www.united.com/en/us/timatic/ that you can fill in and it'll show you exactly what the checkin agents get shown about what paperwork you need for a flight and it's pretty fascinating (I've had the fun experience of violating these constraints with a letter issued by the US embassy in London and I do not recommend that experience)

     @mjg59 Do they get upset about that? I've been worrying about being refused a UK passport because if you have a passport from another country the details are required to match unless the other passport can't legally be changed.

     Losing the "Matthew doesn't get arrested in the UK" challenge by not having the right passport despite having citizenship would be a hilarious outcome

     @ryanc @mjg59 The UK can be a bit funny if there are things like name changes recorded on one passport but not yet the other.
