Dad's taxi will always be there. That's kind of the rules.

Dad's car might be a touch too expensive to insure

Not if dad is paying for it

I just got an email from Amazon saying I am due a refund .... £0.01

Any ideas what to do with it ? (Other than spend a penny!)

The bad news is that they'll pay it back in installments!

Taxman just gave me some of my hard-earned back!

The joys of being self-employed!

Tax man is doing the opposite to me at the end of the month.

finding the bank card of of the c**t that tried to steal my bike - mixed feelings to be honest

tallpaul · « **Reply #49 on:** January 16, 2015, 15:57:19 »

Are you sure the card belongs to said c**t? It's not stolen?

kissofdeath · « **Reply #50 on:** January 16, 2015, 16:57:19 »

that was my 1st thought, but the police looked at the name and said that that wasn't the case. I said ohhh is he well known to you then? and their answer was I have no words!

tallpaul · « **Reply #51 on:** January 16, 2015, 17:22:39 »

I was going to recommend that you do the honest thing and return it. Simply tie the card to a house brick and pop round to his place. 4 am is usually a good time to do it.

Hypothetically speaking, of course...

bigpie · « **Reply #52 on:** January 16, 2015, 18:10:36 »

Do TP's plan, but return it to his face?

kissofdeath · « **Reply #53 on:** January 16, 2015, 18:44:06 »

I should have ordered the replacement parts first but was too honest and gave it to the police

Student Finance England finally agreeing that my divorce certificate is proof that I am not married (don't ask) and the subsequent cash payments rescuing me from penury.

Also received a cheque from the DVLA for £30, no idea why, there was no letter with it.

Remaining road tax on the bike? Either that or some bored employee has had a "Feck it" day and fired off a load of cheques to random people!

Just finished watching all 62 episodes of 'Breaking Bad' over a 6 week period. Brilliant television, really enjoyed it, but squirmed a lot - sometimes it was difficult watching (no, not the old hemorrhoids this time).

You've got to much spare time Gassoon

Ah, that could be it - I assumed I'd lost out.

I just bought a 2015 Subaru XV Crosstrek Limited with Eyesight. It's an XV SE in the UK. It is only available with an engine that runs on regular grade petrol in the USA. It's the first time I ever bought a top of the model line car. The Eyesight system is really something.
