DVLA handle untaxed vehicles. Local councils deal with abandoned vehicles. Goods vehicle operators licensing is done by VOSA.

> I recommend this. All right Curtain, it's elucidation time. It was when he was trying to bum a cigarette from a group smoking in a non-smoking first-class compartment on a late train. "It turned out that one of the girls worked in a massage parlour in my own home town ... She varied her activities by working the trains back from London in the evening, where she found many businessmen who were glad to avail themselves of her services in the train lavatories at ?10 a time." She took a liking to him and offered him a freebie (which he declined, his wife being in the next coach). SS was Prof. at Sussex, hence the Brighton line.

> I had this problem before, it took 2 weeks for BT to finally admit it was the external line that was at fault! I found them very quick, I think next day repair, once it was established that it was definitely a line fault. You might do a belt-and-braces by invoking your own line check or fault status check, from another line, via http://www.bt.com/faults.

As I've mentioned before, the Charles Booth online archive at the LSE is also worth a look, to get a flavour of your neighbourhood at the tail end of the nineteenth century.

Assuming you're using it for PAYG, don't have a travelcard on it, and did touch it in at the start of your journey, you're probably going to find you've been charged the uncompleted journey rate, which is probably a lot more than what you'd otherwise have been charged. If you do find that's what's happened, I think you have to try phoning the Oyster helpline and asking them them to correct it. And this newpaper report seems to confirm that: "He said refunds were available from the Oyster help-line and London Underground stations, and ?10m of maximum fares are refunded each year."

>Definitely a change of jumper last weekend... I think this murder is going to be a three jumper problem.

>when not in use unplug it, hide it! Other hazards such as fire may find it, even if a burglar doesn't. There's really no alternative to off-site storage of critical data backups, encrypted if you like.

I killed my first airborne house moth of the year yesterday. And today saw, I'm fairly certain, my first goldfinch, perching companionably just a couple of shooots along from a brightly billed blackbird.

Is it known whether the sugery did write to or try to contact you?

languagelounger> And I'm thinking in 12 hours you could probably learn to knit and produce The Jumper. You could run a week-long residential The Killing Experience in the Annex. Watch the video, knit the jumper, listen to readings from Kierkegaard, and experiment with smorgasbord, Danish pastries, herring and Akvavit. Meanwhile, back on earth, do they still make Arthur Dent dressing gowns?

Let it be noted that all media, blog, and other internet reports of this case to date, uniformly and erroneously refer to the judge as Mr Justice Sharp, and that EDF is currently alone in correctly referring to her as Mrs Justice Sharp.

He uses the word 'comprise' properly (which is more than Southwark Council can do) and so cannot be all bad.

Fear not. I sometimes think there is a Gaia principle rules the forum. So, for example, even as a Waynetta leaves, an Annette Curtain arrives.

The wife's sentence was 36 _weeks'_ imprisonment suspended for 18 months. http://www.guardian.co.uk/uk/2010/nov/22/counter-terrorism-police-fraud-london-bombing

TopTree>Is that the same Stephen Govier ? who allegedly shot someone in the USA? I think you well know it is. http://www.private-eye.co.uk/sections.php?section_link=rotten_boroughs& [Additional stuff removed: stuff about suspended Southwark councillors probably better in separate thread]

My transcription of his first three paragraphs: "Well, I understand that some bedbugs have been found at the United Nations Building in New York, which is unfortunate but, some good may come of it, you never know. Maybe somebody could find a place for them on the Human Rights Council. They might help to elevate the integrity of that forum somewhat. "Yes, it's that time of year again, when members of the cartel of third world dictatorships known as the Organisation of Islamic Congress [in fact Organisation of the Islamic Conference (OIC)] take time out from brutalising their own people to force through a resolution at the Human Rights Council against what they call the defamation of religions, by which they mean telling the truth about Islam and the countries where it calls the shots. "They say they want to stop people wrongly associating their religion with terrorism and human rights violations. But I don't think anyone does. I think people correctly associate Islam with those things. I certainly do, but then, what do I know? All I've got to go on is overwhelming evidence." I don't see any point in discussing the particular speaker. And I currently know nothing about the OIC, so can't say anything about that either. I do see that "The OIC considers the ongoing coercion and oppression in Libya as a humanitarian catastrophe which goes against Islamic and human values." http://www.oic-oci.org/home.asp

Isn't rubsley/monkeymoo22/'.'/Hugeunot (note: not the long-established Huguenot) still live? And with an additional account as (so far just) minkturtle?

I did, in fairness, look at the first 50" of the 6'45" video. Did you not see the subtitles? The audio is there, so check another sound source on your system.

>I think it's pretty clear what I am asking. Well, you're presumably asking people to follow a link labelled "some bloke", enable their Flash, and download and view some undescribed video of more or less unknown interest or content, and then presumably say something about it. I'm sorry. I did, this once, get as far as selecting the link, to get maybe some idea from a YouTube page of what it was about. That turned out to be useless too. But generally I long ago gave up clicking on links proffered in the first post of a a message board thread because it was something (it tends often to be a tabloid's headline feature of the day) the writer found affirming or affronting, and wanted me to discuss, possibly even agree with them about. They generally turned out to be pretty excruciating discussions too, so I doubt that my now habitual passing them by has done me much harm.

>I hope that clears that up for you. To an extent, yes, thanks. But it does still leave a page like this appearing a bit bizarre: http://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/forum/read.php?27,319523,597192#msg-597192
