WHAT THE FUCK???!!!!

Oh FFS!
Well confused.
I got a new customer today, he's got a fully converted Alphard which he chose over the Elgrand!
Do I lick his arse like I do with every customer or do I just shout 'MISFIT' at him and walk away!
 
Had a little rant here a few days ago about waiting for my van's paperwork.
So since it is illegal to import Jap motors into South Africa, my van is being registered as a rebuilt.

And guess what I still have not received my papers. I am furious to say the least. There it sits for more than a week now and I can not drive it. No plates and not license disk.

I have to keep asking the oke. It would have been common decency to just keep me in the loop of what is going on.

I am praying the papers come today. I promised to take the kids to their ice hockey tournament in the van on Sunday. I hate disappointing my kids.

Feel like giving the oke a good slap.

Hi mate you don't need the nova letter if that's what you're waiting on? Once duty and vat has been paid the nova system will be updated within 24 hours and you can register it.

Yep feeling the pain as well taking weeks for something only recently was taking hours! Even if you can prove vat and duty paid swansea rejecting applications without nova nd nova taking a least three weeks

You for unlucky then, I'd print out and highlight the page in the tax site that clearly state you will not be asked for proof of nova as it is checked on their system at time of application.

Here you go https://www.tax.service.gov.uk/info...initygroup=&faqid=eng.faq.nova.faq.faqnova005

Highlighting this section got me through first time "You won' need to provide the DVLA/DVA with any evidence that you have notified HMRC and paid any VAT due. The DVLA/DVA will be able to verify this automatically"

Dear Richard,
Sorry to hear that your mountain bike of which you have owned for twenty years has been stolen.
I find it most extrodanary that a crime has been committed and has been captured on video, which obviously shows footage of the incident together with possible facial recognition of the assailants and the Dutch police decline to examine or investigate ?
A frame number should play no part in the process at this early stage .
The Dutch police quite clearly need to review the video evidence in the first instance and act accordingly to carry out a full investigation which will hopefully lead to multiple arrests of the lowlife scum who committed this act.
When they catch these absolute imbeciles , they should have their hands crushed inbetween two gigantic mill stones that you have in all your windmills that sit adjacent to your waterways over there !
Let's see the useless bumberling bafoons try and grab the handlebars of their next bicycle !!!! 😈

Keep your chin up fella .

Cheers, Nathan 👍

Ooh I like that punishment for the thieving gits!! You should become a magistrate and dish this out to the scumbags 😉
 
when we moved house 3 yrs ago we were mortified when 2 of the removers helpers were known local drug dealer /thieves. At the time I had a specialised time trial bike, and OH had 3 high end colnagos. We decided not to put them in garage with the other stuff being stored while house was gutted as it was un alarmed etc. 6 weeks later garage got broken into; spare alloy wheels for import MR2 taken. The many boxes of accounts and bits n bobs in there were not rifled, all lids intact!( like someone knew not to bother) but the only 2 with metal wares in went. I believe they were expecting the 4 bikes worth around 6k to be there. I told the police what I suspected and 2 weeks later I was told the people had been caught in the act elsewhere.. scum! if I caught them I would stick their bloody needles in em! GRRRRRR
 
Today, some Audi driver in the next lane threatened to drive into us in the Elgrand because I was adhering to lane discipline! Mr Magsy respectfully told him to go and read up on the Highway Code! Thankfully we have an onboard camera, so it was captured on sd disk should that have happened and proved my innocence! Personally I think there was a tinge of jealousy lol😉
 
Wanted to check what tyre pressure I should be using.... label says 240Kpa... go to google and type 240 Kpa tyre pressure and the first hit shows a table.... says 24psi is 1.65bar and 240Kpa..... is it feck.. it's 165Kpa. 240Kpa is 34.8psi.. the clucking eejits have misread their own table. If you go into the actual table it shows correct entries :-
Psi Bar Kpa Bar Kpa Psi
24 1.65 165 2.4 240 34.8
