Quick VED question

So, the VED/SORN form says the MoT certificate must be valid on
the day the tax disc commences. I need one from 1st July. My last MoT
test was on 2nd July so the expiry date is 1st July. Any bets as to
whether the Post-Office will sell me the disc?

I can see a quibble coming on ...

I'd get in there and get the disc asap, Ivan. The'll still moan a
bit, but the chance of refusal is minimised.

 

Thanks Pip.

Any idea why I got this?

IMO you should be OK - if everythings valid for the date you go in and it's
valid sometime in that month it's a good'un. I only know 'cos I tried renew
SOC tax last week of the month before it was due and my insurance ran out
before the start of the new tax disc. There was quite a long queue when I
left without my disc ;-)

 

they have a legal requirement to do so but considering the amount of
numbties behind the counters these days you may be pushing it

 

I taxed Andy's 9R a while ago with IIRC a day to go. buy it today and
you should be ok.

GINGE!

 

It originates from a "forum": motorcyclenewsgroups.com, the propietor
of which posted here a couple of weeks ago to let us know that our
output would be duplicated on his forum. It seems that everybody with
an unmunged/valid email address in their headers now gets an email
confirming a reply has been made to their post, when it appears on his
thrice-damned forum.

Raving fucking mad, eh?

 

It's some total **** set up a webshite and harvester of motorcycle
related ng postings and seems to think we'd all want to know when we get
a reply to one of ours.

Actually, I've been pondering this. This is unsolicited email, innit? I
mean, there's a law and everything.

Can we burn him now?

Exact same situation with my c*r.

I got back from the PO about an hour since. Absolutely no problem.

Go get it now.

Open up your eyes, just to check that you're asleep, again

 

I think you should talk to your people about him, Ivan.

 

So there is.

Let's try a couple of abuse reports, then.

 

well, it is, but you'll only get one of the messages ever, unless you
sign up for the service and ask for more.

It's a pity really, as it's a useful google-fallback site for those of
us behind nntp-port blocking. I can't help thinking this "first time
spam" thing is shooting themselves in the foot.

You can also use talkaboutmotorcycles.com when Google Groups
has gone tits-up.

 

yeah, I know, except when Google Groups appears to "stall" and not
receive updates, talkabout... seems to stop too, almost as if it's
accessing Google as its "server"; the motorcyclenewsgroups service
seems to get it's stuff from another newserver.

The newer service is also marginally better for reading, and *much*
better for posting than talkabout.

 

Ah, right. I hadn't noticed.

True. talkaboutmotorcycles is utter crap to post from.

Pshaw!

Details man, details. I've got a lovely point on me pitchfork, and the
#4 Buggering Irons are just coming to a red-heat. Don't stop me now!
