can anyone tell me if theres any other way to get a passport sooner than the normal six week waiting? is it true that if you go to one of the passport offices, they will give you a passport on that day? cheers

No for your first adult passport there is no way to get it any faster, it has to come by post. You can only go to the main office for a same day passport if its a renewal.
They say give up to 6 weeks incase you have to go for an interview but if not they usually take 3 weeks to come through.

I have to go for an interview, tomorrow, and the wife on the phone says my passport will be here a week after the interview, total time from posting = 4 weeks.

Oh, and you cant get it any faster as they need to do all the security checks.
