SaintSam Posted February 27, 2007 Share Posted February 27, 2007 how long ago did you do it? (i.e. did you give the Royal mail enough time to find you?) I have already told you when I bought it. It was purchased on the www.direct.gov.uk website as soon as I received the news that it has passed it's MOT. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest SavotheGreat Posted February 27, 2007 Share Posted February 27, 2007 My tax runs out tomorrow, and I renewed the tax on Friday, but the disc has yet to arrive. I have it on good authority from a friend (use that word loosely) of mine who works in the police that as long as the vehicle has valid tax, it won't matter if the disc doesn't arrive by tomorrow, as they will be able to check my registration and see that it has tax. I would rather it arrived tomorrow though. My car remained un-taxed for about 5 days, they generally give you a bit of leeway. Mind you, on the fifth day, one of those weird things happened. I drove past a car with a bright orange sign on its windscreen, reading something along the lines of: "THIS CAR IS NOT TAXED". It kind of spurted my lazy ass into action. ANYWAY, your problem. I wouldn't worry about it to be honest. You've got an entirely plausible story; if anyone comes knocking (which would be unlikely considering its only going to be a couple of days) just explain what has happened. From what i've heard, they don't start chasing people up until they've been without tax for a month (at least) anyway. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There will be a page you can print off as proof of payment? - You can put that on display (taking care to cover up any personal identity details - address etc) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not worried, I'd just rather it arrived tomorrow so I didn't get any disapproving looks. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

supermac Posted February 27, 2007 Share Posted February 27, 2007 My nag is bald people in denial who suddenly think they are cool. Baldness is not cool. Having hair will always be the norm. You are all hairless freaks who cry yourself to sleep at night wishing you had hair. Just because there are several of you falling out the baldy closet does not make it ok. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I couldn't give a frigging toss about being bald but I don't claim it is cool (except in the winter when I forget my hat). I cry myself to sleep wishing I were younger, not hairy.

Rugster Posted February 27, 2007 Share Posted February 27, 2007 My sister in law does that. Unfortunatly one time she was shagging her man and as my husband name starts with an A he's first in her phone book........ She has sex in her sleep? That one seemed a tad strange to me. I think Rowan has ignored your post, as she was telling a cheeky wee porky pie! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am going bald sadly, and I look much better with a shaven head rather than trying to have a bit of hair on my head. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stuart. Posted February 27, 2007 Share Posted February 27, 2007 I got a "number 3" cut once and my mum looked at me after it and told me she felt physically sick looking at me and never to do it again - that was nice of her! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charming, eh? I don't mind not having much hair, the only problem is when it's freezing at the football and you forget to bring a hat.
