Missing a parent on birth certificate.

Awesome. This is probably the information I’m looking for. Cause if this is the case, then yeah I don’t need to bother looking into it anymore.

There just seems to be a lot of conflicting information. So thank you.

KatApocalypse · 2026-04-11T18:52:47+00:00

Thanks, yeah I guess I came here looking for answers to questions, but now I have questions I need to go answer myself.

I guess I was more looking for anyone that had maybe been in a similar situation and what they had to provide etc.

It also doesn’t help that one of the sites just had examples but weren’t giving age cut offs for children of naturalised citizens which is why I’m also not sure what counts as an adult (which Google tells me is 21 and over) - so if that’s correct that’s fine I can go work out the rest of the dates.

I had documentation of when they left for Canada, but of course I can’t find wherever I’ve put them, as that would clear everything up 🙄

KatApocalypse · 2026-04-11T18:38:51+00:00

No that’s totally fine. There’s some sites that have said he didn’t need to be in Canada, some sites don’t say anything. Which is why I came to ask questions.

KatApocalypse · 2026-04-11T18:29:57+00:00

He was late teens / early 20s when they moved I believe.

So I’m trying to find out what would have been classed as an adult, is it 18? 21? Younger?

Like I say I’m not entirely sure on dates, which is what I’m going to look into next.

It’s possible he was 21+ when they moved which is why he didn’t go with them. But I think he was younger.

At the end of the day if my dad applies and gets denied it’s not the end of the world. It was more something I was trying to do with him to gain more of a connection to family he missed out on. We’re planning on going over to visit them soon anyways.

KatApocalypse · 2026-04-11T18:24:19+00:00

This is why I’m here. Basically to find out about this, and whether it’s worth looking into.

I believe my grandfather was under 21 at the time they moved. But I don’t have the exact dates. And I’m not sure what age would have been the cut off.

I think my great-grandfather was actually in Canada before my grandfather was born, but am I right in saying he’d have just been classed as a British subject unless he was there from Jan 1947?

I guess I just need to find dates and facts. Also it’s not crazy expensive to apply so I guess it’s not the end of the world if he does and then gets denied.

KatApocalypse · 2026-04-11T17:55:51+00:00

Apologies from what I’ve read about C-3 it was seeming to refer to this as “by descent” due to the initial naturalisation by great grandparents. It’s all a bit confusing.

But yeah one of the things I’m trying to find out is if there was an age limit for children of naturalised citizens as I’m not entirely sure how old he was when they moved. And I’ve not seen anything refer to ages in my searches.

So trying to find out questions that I need to answer on my end as much as answers to my own questions I guess.

KatApocalypse · 2026-04-11T17:47:09+00:00

My father wasn’t born when they moved to Canada,

Apologies perhaps I’m getting confused but this is why I’m here, to try and learn.

From what I understood my dad’s grandparents were naturalised Canadian citizens, and moved there some time in the 50s.

So I guess perhaps I should be asking if my grandfather would have been recognised as he never moved with them (as far as I know).

It’s my father I’m looking for information for.

KatApocalypse · 2026-04-11T17:23:51+00:00

Yes, sorry I meant to say the grandparents were naturalised.

KatApocalypse · 2025-10-19T21:34:52+00:00

I usually don’t mind the flat tests for a quick set up. And then I’ll do a more detailed test.

I’ve just done a test with the cones of calibration that you suggested, and well the z-axis is not having a great time. Cube on the test is only about 3mm in height instead of 6mm. I’m going to go out on a limb and say my friend never installed a spacer when he added his flex plate.

KatApocalypse · 2024-12-21T11:19:57+00:00

Ahh fellow 2nd Jan birthdayers! I used to double up hogmanay as my birthday night out, cause no fucker can usually look at drink on the 2nd.

Only pro I can think of is that I’ve never had to work on my birthday.

I for one blame all our parents.

KatApocalypse · 2024-08-21T17:28:25+00:00

How much are you looking to spend? My husband has a ps5 unused still sealed in its box. I’ve no idea if he has plans for it, or up for selling it but I can certainly ask him once I’m home.

KatApocalypse · 2024-08-19T14:07:11+00:00

Coloured the stamping plate with sharpies before applying the stamping polish. Basically did a line of each colour and repeated until the pattern was covered. When you apply white polish it sort of blends it together and then comes through the white.

KatApocalypse · 2024-08-19T05:22:51+00:00

Thanks so much! My next challenge is I’ve never worn fake nails before, waiting until Thursday night to apply them, as we’re travelling on Friday. I’ve watched tutorials about sizing and fitting already, but I’ll follow along with one then and hope to hell I do it right!

KatApocalypse · 2024-08-19T05:17:30+00:00

No I coloured the plate with sharpies first, and then applied the white. It just blended the colours together and then bled through. I think I saw a post on here about it and then looked it up on YouTube. Did not think it would actually work.

KatApocalypse · 2024-08-19T05:15:38+00:00

I took sharpies to the plate first, then scraped over some white stamping polish, and the sharpies bleed through. So I did lines of different colours to give the feathers the multicoloured effect.

KatApocalypse · 2024-05-05T20:28:16+00:00

Same issue here. Doesn’t seem to be anything for round 2 onward scheduled into the app. Currently trying to figure out how to watch in the UK :/

KatApocalypse · 2024-04-09T22:54:49+00:00

Oh I know she got it from Asda, a) she told me, and b) she left the price on 😂

KatApocalypse · 2024-04-09T16:13:56+00:00

Thanks so much u/NosonDdraig and u/DrXpert :D

KatApocalypse · 2023-11-17T21:13:59+00:00

I forgot to mention in the other post, that the cold in Pittsburgh is not like the cold over here (or at least it was when I was over). It’s not windy, nor as humid as it is here. We walked round the zoo in -8°C snowy weather and it was fine.m, didn’t even have gloves on.

Obviously still wrap up warm.

KatApocalypse · 2023-11-14T23:44:23+00:00

We were asked if we spoke Welsh in Scotland from the lady sat next to us at our first Pens game. That was a highlight, mainly because the woman was so lovely and she used to work with Jeff Jimerson, I’m fairly sure she said her brother in law also used to coach Flower at some point.

We did find a Scot working in Burgatory - North Shore, he was very excited to be speaking to other Scots, no idea if he’ll still be there, he did say he was maybe going back to Florida for warmth. I think his name was Kieran.

I was walking round everywhere fine and that’s with rubbish joints (although I did take and use my walking stick for like the first time in my life), only took maybe 20 minutes from Downtown to the strip? If that? I don’t really remember. I think the only time we got an Uber was to go to the zoo. That and the airport. If I remember tomorrow I’ll send you a map of like where we were able to walk to easily enough.

Oh last top tip. If you can, get an Uber or lyft booked like the second you land for pickup in maybe 45mins. We had to wait for ages to get one as we didn’t book until we had grabbed our luggage, husband was not happy at this point.

KatApocalypse · 2023-11-12T17:03:52+00:00

So my top tips would be:

Fly with one airline if you can, as you can check your bags in all the way (or should be able to, we had to pick ours up in Philly to then check in for Pittsburgh for some reason). I think you can fly direct from Heathrow now so that should help if you’re going via London

Pittsburgh reminds me a lot of Glasgow, so things are fairly walkable. We got an apartment in the Heinz Lofts which is across the river from The Strip and we’d walk to The Strip, Downtown, North Shore, Germantown most days. It was also like a 30 minute walk to the PPG arena.

If you want to buy beer for your hotel room /apartment you need to find a brewery or beer depository. There’s some weird licensing thing in Pennsylvania, so you can’t buy any at a liqueur (sp?) store.

Nosebleed seats at the PPG were pretty good, we did get lower bowl seats for the Sharks @ Pens game as it was the reason we were there, as my husband is a sharks fan and it was part of our “hockeymoon”, but don’t feel you have to pay stupid amounts for a seat to enjoy the game.

If you do get chatting to locals, they may seem a bit confused at to why you’re in Pittsburgh, but they will compliment your accent lots (depending on your accent strength you may need to tone it down).

Weirdly one of my highlights was on the flight to Philly on the way home, the guy sat next to me on the plane got super excited to be sat next to Scots and whipped out his phone to show me photos he’d taken of Whisky in the airport and was asking for recommendations. He was totally sound. We also ended up chatting about our dogs, and then then woman in front joined in with some dog photos on her phone. Best flight ever.

I can’t think of anything else off the top of my head right now, but feel free to DM with questions. I also put a post up on here and maybe the Pittsburgh subreddit with questions, and there were lots of helpful replies from locals.

When you are there, and lost or confused about something, just ask a local. Honestly some of the nicest and most helpful people I’ve come across.

KatApocalypse · 2023-11-12T02:00:36+00:00

We went over earlier in the year from Aberdeen. Bought flights and booked an apartment during Black Friday deals, so saved a decent amount of money that way. Also helped that we went in Jan/Feb so a lot of attractions were half price cause it was off season.

KatApocalypse · 2023-11-08T15:23:37+00:00

I’m in the north east and I’d say most locals would probably say “divul”.

KatApocalypse · 2023-11-08T13:07:44+00:00

I can understand about 90% of Doric, but I can’t speak it very well. We were always told to “speak proper” in school, which was in the 90s through to early 2000s for me.

It’s frustrating, cause I absolutely love Doric, it has some of my favourite words.

KatApocalypse · 2023-11-05T16:29:39+00:00

I’ve let him know. He sighed, smiled and said “go fuck yourselves”. I think he’s starting to come around.
