What grinds my gears...

Bunch of arseholes.

They won't send me a tax disc to my current address because apparently my car is registered to my old address.

I've sent off the change of address form TWICE now.. the first time being when I moved, back in September.

I rang them about it and they threatened to

a) Fine me if I didn't display valid tax.

b) Fine me for not telling them of my change of address.

RIGHT. Ok.

So I go to the DVLA office in Maidstone with half a reg document (the other half posted to sodding DVLA Swansea Idiot Farm) but I'd colour photocopied my bit as I'm not as stupid as I look.

So I've got my reg document, my driving license, my MOT, I've even got a sodding picture of my girlfriend in my bloody wallet.. I'm that prepared to be in it for the long haul. It gets to my turn. I should have just said I WANT TO BUY SOME TAX, but I blurted out the whole story in my anger.

I'll send a change of address form the woman helpfully suggests.... BUT.. YOU HAVE ONE THERE???? Give it to me. It's ok, we'll send it to you at 7 Old Sch........ that's my OLD address.

I want to cry sometimes.

Anyway, is it sorted yet? Is it fu ck. My tax expires at the end of this month, my vehicle is registered to an address I don't live at, I don't have the reminders the woman in the DVLA office wants to see BECAUSE THEY WERE SENT TO THE WRONG ADDRESS and all she wanted to take issue was with why I only had half a bleedin' registration document.

It shouldn't be this difficult to tax a sodding vehicle.

The best bit is that the official advice I've been given is to do it online (straight from the horses mouth: "because the people in the DVLA offices tend to be a bit dim"!!!) and the result is that my tax disc will be sent to an address I don't live at and have no access to. Thanks DVLA. Will you then fine me for not displaying it? OOooh and then a £10 charge to reissue the fu cker because you're a bunch of raging cockbadger fucktards? Here you go. Wait a minute. Why not invoice me at my OLD address? I bet you know my current address now huh?

I'm going to go to the post office tomorrow and try my luck there. I just really want to buy a tax disc. I'm hoping this method will guarantee the disc is placed in my hand... and not someone else's mailbox.

Anyone on here live in Swansea? Could you pop along and hurry the cu nts up a bit?

I'm still irked by this and still haven't been to the Post Office to see if they can be any less helpful.

I hope NW is having more luck than me. I'm about at the end of my tether.

I paid the car tax and a new disc duly arrived.

Then I received the reminder letter today in the post - 6 weeks late, and a week after I got the disc. Cosmic.

Considering who my employer is, I shouldn't bleat on too much I suppose...

I've got issues with your lot, too.

Let's not go there, though.

I got 99 problems but the bitch ain't one.

Junior and I are good mates. Pop him over one weekend.

He might come back drunk/hungover though, depending on how things go...

Game?

He would love that, he's always having a sip of my ale while i'm not lookin.................but i'd be worried about your lady friend, she may just divert all of her attention to him rather then you, all of a sudden you just won't be numero uno, and the toilet roll cardboard will have more rights in your house!!!!! :D

Impotence, the contraceptive pill and a strong suspicion that I'd be the worst father in history.
You can **** off if you think you're getting your hands on my trophy. :angry:

I'd have to overcome the first two issues first, Dagbert.

When you answer the phone, only to find that it's a stupid computerised voice talking to you telling you you've won something.

Just had two of said phonecalls in half an hour.

There was me thinking someone wanted to talk to me!

I get those at work. A pointless 5 seconds of my life that I will never get back.

There isn't even a dislike option. That annoys me too.

Same. Do they expect us to like every shitty thing that's thrown in our faces?!
