General Discussion / Re: Renewing Driving Licence O...
Last post by Alex - Today at 09:15:13 PM
WELL !   I went to the Post Office with my licence and application form in hand, spoke to the woman on the desk she said she'd have to take my photo.  "What Now? "  says I :rolleyes: it was blowing a gale and my hair was a mess, no lippy on..but I had no choice.  She took details from my licence and I thought that would be it, it wasn't.   Today I received a message from Driving Licence place saying that I'd confirmed my identity at the Post Office and I could now log on to "One Log In" so I did without a hitch and I applied to renew my licence.   So the Post Office woman didn't do it, she just confirmed my identity 🥺   What was that all about ?

The whole idea of it is dreadful!!

That's what I thought !   until my DIL told me to watch it just once - and I did, now I'm addicted. :grin:
No point in my being snobby about it, it's painful reality telly, but who cares !
My new sofa arrived today, I'm very pleased with it  👍

Ernie ordered baked potato with cheese
As his lady friend he wanted to please
But she wasn't happy with his choice food
She wanted steak and chips then pud
Not forgetting the mushy peas

The old folk were going on a coach trip
Matron told Freddie to do up his zip
Lil' was flashing her new sparkly teeth
Freddie was flashing what was beneath!
But blamed it on a bit of a blip.

I slept well for a change,  and even had a lay-in,  (or should it be 'lie-in'?)  Amounts to the the same anyway.

My son and d.i.l.  came over this morning to collect my laptop.   He said he knows a good computer bloke,  so wants to let him have a look at it.  So we'll see what happens.

Nice and sunny, but still a cool breeze.   Son gave my little lawn its first cut this year for me as I am still struggling with the shoulder  (rotator cuff) pain and can't lift much with that arm still.  :sad:

Quote from: muddy on Today at 07:08:23 AMRacehorses are fragile .
If they fall or break a leg it's practically impossible to mend them .
The bloodstock industry overbreeds anyway every year hundreds of young horses go straight to the meat market .


Well how bloody stupid is that, for a start!

An animal that is expected to carry the weight of a human on its spine,  and still run like the wind, taking on large  obstacles along  the way,  with the human waving a whip about,   yet you say they are 'Fragile'    with bones that don't mend?    Well why don't they breed them more robust then?

That seems like driving a posh saloon car over mountainous terrain with an elephant on the roof, and expecting no  chassis damage.   

Must be the dummest design fault ever!
