In the news

My old man drove about in his work van for 9 months with no tax purely because he never got the reminder and then didnt realise. Came out a job one day and had a clamp on his van. Had to pay the fine and get the road tax that he would have done anyway had he realised.

Proper shit show it was, and that is all down to the doing away of tax discs and trying to save money which in effect makes people forget and not pay. Also fuck knows how he never got stopped by the police consider he drove it min 5 days a week... Joke

I dunno about anyone else but I've got mine on direct debit now because I will forget.

BTW he was insured and had mot, just no tax.

Its also a bastard that tax doesn't carry over when you are buying and selling as many things now.

Do they send a reminder? I can't remember... Road tax, council tax, parking permits... Paying and tracking all that kind of stuff seems wierdly untraceable and half arsed.

See this is the thing, sometimes they do sometimes they dont. I have about 8 things that I should get reminders for myself and tbh I dont think I get more than 4 a year. Its a fuckin joke now the DVLA.

And then when you complain about it they just say we sent you out them, so my postman who has delivery to me for 10 years has started stealing the reminders, I dont think so....

What date is Christmas day this year ? - need to order some sausage rolls.

I just got mine this week. Awful timing having it mid November and MOT December. No presents again this year kids - let's have a sit in the car instead.

It's often the 25th of December.
Haven't checked yet, this year.

You not seen? Christmas has been cancelled due to the PC brigade.

Which brigade is this that you speak of? What are its aims?

To cancel Christmas, clearly.

Please don't say the word Christmas. It offends my PC sensibilities.

Christmas is 24 Dec anyway.

I was just hoping for the opportunity to call someone who doesn't like political correctness (i.e. not offending people for no good reason) a massive syphilitic cunt.

I appreciate the irony.

Hamadan!

Far easier to celebrate the Winter Solstice.

Al Franken, what the fucking fuck.

Boston Dynamics, who else eh. How long before the first ones are used on the battlefields?

Not long ! Im off to build a DIY EMP gun.

I could be completely wrong on this, but now Boston Robotics is owned by Softbank I’d think their focus will change to civilian rather than military use.

For or against civilians? #dystopianpost
