I've never had to provide all of this before. Is this a new thing across the board or are they taking the biscuit? They want copies of the following: Proof of NCB Both front and back of photocard licence AND a code so they can check the licence online All pages of the V5 logbook Firstly not everyone has access to a scanner or a photocopier. And surely all of this available online to insurers anyway. But most importantly, if a picture of both sides of the licence and the whole logbook get into the wrong hands through a data breach or lost in postal transit, that's an easy way into identity theft! 😮 Some places accept photo of documents instead of scanned, Can post all originals to me and I'll scan them for you 😂 The should hold off on requiring so much until such unfortunate time as of when a claim is made; then if x, y, and Z are not as promised by the policy holder then the insurance is void, This would save alot of office staff wages as only claims would require such processing. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm off to B&Q tomorrow to buy a load of pine batten and short screws to make my own edge trim as a backstop to avoid the panels pushing backwards out of the grooves. A little bit of extra effort and a small extra cost to save hours of frustration and scraped fingers. Sent from my SM-G965F (S9+) Another option to battens are these, this is just a Screwfix link, smaller quantities are available online from other retailers. These are also great for drawers with a ply/hardboard bottom too, just a few along the edge stops the drawer bottom falling out if it's over loaded. https://www.screwfix.com/p/hafele-rear-panel-connectors-100-pack/6079V?tc=LT5&ds_kid=92700024762949010&ds_rl=1241687&ds_rl=1245250&ds_rl=1249413&ds_rl=1247848&ds_rl=1245250&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIx5Tl_saT4QIVab7tCh2G_QFaEAQYASABEgKlOfD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They didn't create the deadline, Article 50 gave them exactly 2 years. But for some reason they just buggered around procrastinating for the first 18 months! Whatever happens now the UK already look like fools... There isn't an easy or simple answer, a large number of people will be upset by whatever the outcome is. 55 minutes ago, Eric Bloodaxe said: I don't even have a photocard licence (mine's still on parchment😀) so what would I do?

Lenny Posted March 22, 2019 Share Posted March 22, 2019 I don't like coming from a messed up family, Our daughter has a special event in two weeks time; I'm paying €40 per person for a meal to those invited; Theres 17 people going now; but there all on the wife's side of the family; I've asked my mother to come but she says no because she's currently sick and will continue to be sick on that day too. I also have two brothers and two sisters but haven't spoken in few years as they each have there own life changing issues, The event is going to be difficult for me; paying for everyone without receiving any enjoyment as well as seeing them all getting along which super highlights the void in my own life, Normally I can blank it out daily with working six days a week and spending time with my own family; its only when if comes to events like this that theres no hiding 😅 Sorry for the rant guys, it indeed wont change anything; I'm just being somewhat emotional 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zain611 Posted March 22, 2019 Share Posted March 22, 2019 @Lenny at least think to yourself you have your own family. You have a wife and three children who are always with you. One day in life both parents won't be in the world anymore. Siblings it depends, my gran who has cancer me and the parents would go see her every Saturday as she's not able to cook. One of my aunties does not hardly go as she says she's sick. Doesn't help it more that my younger cousins have chicken pox so she won't come for some time as she won't want her children catching it from them. One of my uncles when he was young worked in a bank, met a girl and got married. One day they argued in what house to stay in. Both have bad mums so they argued against going to each others mums house. From there they divorced. Years passed I think it mentally affected him and it didn't help that his dad passed away. Now after all those years he lives with his mum single whereas the girl got married again and had kids. I think he does get some disability benefit as he has some mental problem thinking he has physical or pain. I do enjoy going to his flat seeing him and his mum and poking him 😂. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes this is true families are strange things as I think all of us has some story about some person/people in all of them as just either nasty/don't care about anyone and makes it's worse if its there own mom or dad who went through trouble and worry when they were young and don't give a dam now,I care for my very elderly dad as mom pasted away a nice few years ago so just me and dad,I do have 1 older brother but that's all I'm saying me and dad,day by day with a lot of problems on the way but that life.Sent from my SM-G960F using Tapatalk 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TomsFocus Posted March 23, 2019 Share Posted March 23, 2019 My moan for the day is my ear... I've posted before about being intermittently deaf in one ear for almost a year now, but I finally forced myself to see a Dr about it... Anyway, turns out there's some wax in it that needs removing before he can see in properly. I'm having to use ear drops which feel absolutely horrific... 😩 But so far nothing has happened except now being permanently deaf on that side since I started using the drops! It was clearing a bit over the day before so it's now worse. There's absolutely no way I'd be able to have them syringed, but the Dr said the wax should 'just come out' after a week or so. Has anyone else found this to be the case? I did wonder why people would have to go through syringing if the wax could just fall out of it's own accord! Also don't really understand why it can't be sucked out somehow...an ear shaped attachment for a brake vacuum bleeder maybe? In other news, I don't like bleeding everywhere twice yesterday...first time in a shop, literally just touched a box with my left knuckle while picking up an item but felt it sting...few minutes later my hand feels wet and I look down to see I'm dripping claret on the floor of the shop... Fortunately I carry clean loo roll everywhere with me for exactly this reason lol, but felt really ill and wobbly just from the sight of it! The second time was very weird though, can't see how it happened at all... Two weeks ago on a Friday night eating pizza I suddenly noticed blood all over my right hand, there's a tiny cut on one of my fingers somehow...really worried me as I couldn't understand where it came from. Yet exactly 2 weeks later, Friday night eating pizza and the same thing happened again! WTF!? 😮 I wondered if I'd cut myself on the pizza box but surely I'd have noticed that during the half hour it was in the oven... I'll have to watch exactly what I do with the pizza next Friday night! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zain611 Posted March 23, 2019 Share Posted March 23, 2019 @TomsFocus I think the unexpected bleeding happens to all of us. I have a red mark on my shoulder which I believe is caused by my heavy bag I carry. There have been times where I see a mark and wonder how that got there. Hopefully it's the wax in your ear that might be affecting your hearing. What happens is when you pick your ear you might push back the wax further inside which might cause a buildup. Hopefully it's not you blasting the music in your car or home 🤣. @jace1969 talking about the elderly I went and saw my great gran after some time and took some food my mum cooked. She was really happy to see me 😊. She lives with her son and his wife. Saw my uncle but aunty went abroad as her mum had passed away. Sat there for around an hour seeing what they were doing. She gave me £5 which I asked why to my uncle and he said she gives it to the children 😂. Few days before my parents went after a long time and she started crying to my dad saying your the eldest grandson and it's been this long since you've seen me. It would be good for more family to come as she just sits all day in the living room and that might not be good for her dementia. She said once she saw a ghost in her room. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We need a 'shocked' reaction on here! Sad or confused just doesn't cut it for new parts prices lol. 😮 Surely there must be thousands of Fiesta seats in scrap yards though? Could be a good bartering tool! Though I guess there are thousands of Fiestas for sale as well so not worth the hassle lol. 1 hour ago, zain611 said: @TomsFocus I think the unexpected bleeding happens to all of us.

It started as an allergy thing last year though (eustachian tube not draining properly) so just won't know until the wax has gone.

Lenny Posted March 23, 2019 Share Posted March 23, 2019 Sounds like he's somewhere between puberty and menopause tbh… You better hope he don't see that [emoji23] [emoji23] I might as well be 50 as my circumstances wont change between now and then, I'm 34 but menopause wont affect me since I've brought it on early two years ago had a vasectomy, Just feeling sorry for myself as I'm having to pay €600+ for a meal which none of my own family will be at; and some of the people whom will be there don't like me at all [emoji28] doing have there own house or family but have this idea of how to live life in your situation and have no problems voicing there ideas on you. The wife tolerates them and entertains instead of putting them straight but I cant stand listening to them. For example her sister is now looking for a house to purchase with her boyfriends inheritance money, proper enterprise relationship, and although we already went through purchasing a home; she's telling the wife how things go when looking and buying a home. Hello we bought one, we could tell you ya ####### [emoji3061] sorry 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But anyway; I feel there wisdom keeps us on the straight and narrow 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lenny Posted March 23, 2019 Share Posted March 23, 2019 I don't like that my head was muddled this morning in work; when going for breakfast rolls as I do every third Saturday. But today I ordered one less than I should have; which left me without anything to eat as I gave mine to the guy which I forgot about. Also don't like that my fridge at home is leaking air, the back of it has cracked as I poured so hot water down the hole. It's a 5ft tall two door one on to of the other; half fridge half freezer, the motor is running almost all of the time now meaning it will increase the electricity bill, I need to purchase a new replacement soon, it is 15 years old though. Freezer is frosting up too 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
