Rant over.
Or clued up enough to agree with you and think "muppet".

Thinking is long out of fashion.

No, take loads of embarrassing pics of them, wait until they are 18 then post them up on whatever has taken over from Facebook by then. That's what I'm planning.

A boss who decides that a project scope can be changed after the completion date and then threatens legal action.

How to make us all look stupid, but only after blaming everyone else.

Car tax renewal

My vans and cars are paid annually by direct debit and I do nothing.


The wife's little frog mobile cost zilch to tax. So no direct debit. But I have to mess about each time making an application....

I fill in the number and thank you done. fffs why can they not simply do the checks that exist for direct debit renewal.. Does it need mot, is there one. Is there insurance? yes. then renew automatically.

Instead because they get nought, I have to make an annual application!!!!!

We had a sprinkle the other night but nothing since. Nothing interesting happens weather-wise in Suffolk

We had a few flakes on the coast, my colleague had the same at Needham, but 8 miles away in Stowmarket they had 2 inches

I'd say that was interesting
