At the risk of getting a good bollocking I think Brendan Rodgers is a very overrated defender. A fine athlete, but for me he's not a great marker

It is legal to drive an untaxed car on public roads if you are on route to or from the MOT centre. Probably the only time it is legal to do so.

What way does that work with insurance then? If someone had an accident on the way to MOT, what then? Surely the car isn't insured?

No idea, but I have been paying insurance on the car for the last 18 months anyway, its just over £300 for the year so I never cancelled it incase I needed the car as a back up.

If you change ownership to your son, will he not pay the tax from the time the ownership changes?  You'll need an MOT so hopefully the garage can collect it.

I'm honestly not sure, the tax book will be changing to his name anyway. Can't find anything online that states whether I will have to pay the extra year and a half or not. I guess I'll just find out next week when I go to pay it .

I'll sneak it to the MOT centre without tax - appointment for net week. Only 10miles away, fingers crossed I'm not caught lol

Have a 2008 Ford Focus at the house, haven't had it taxed in over a year and a half as it hasn't been used. Also didn't SORN it.

Son has just passed his driving test, if I tax the car do I have to back pay the tax for the year and a half I hadn't it taxed for?

If you weren't planning to keep the tax on the car, you should have SORN'ed it. It has to be one or the other.

I'm surprised you didn't get a letter from them. Or a fine.

Definitely have received no fine or letter?

Will be taxing it this week or next again. So I should expect to pay a year and a halfs tax on top of the year I'm going to pay?

They cynic would see this as opportunist by Diageo. There has been a push back in the UK and indeed Europe over alcohol sponsorship in sport, club rugby is near the bottom when it comes to sport sponsorship anyway. What Diageo would pay to be official beer of London Irish would be peanuts in relative sporting partnership terms. They refused to even meet London Irish, so to me opportunistic and having seen the cause of alcohol addiction within my own extended family Diageo have no moral high ground. Diageo are simply exploiting a rape case for their own benefit.
That's a dubious statement which calls into question the perceptiveness of the cynic which swallows anything London Irish pour out.
Diageo state clearly that they had met with LI before making their announcement and another meeting is arranged.

I'd opine that all betting and drink sponsorship be banned from sport.

definitely but id go further esp about betting I ban all adverting .
is there one really positive aspect from Gambling to suggest Society would be better off with it than with out it ?



Ban it - a life ruiner for so many people

:o

The Greenvale Hotel in Cookstown - where three young people died in March - is to remain open and continue trading after plans were revealed to demolish the building.



 
Lauren Bullock (17), Morgan Barnard (17) and 16-year-old Connor Currie, died outside the Cookstown hotel before a St Patrick's day disco on March 18.

Police said around 600 people were in the queue at the time.

Three months on from the tragedy, the venue's owner Michael McElhatton has submitted a planning application to bulldoze the hotel.

The proposal, received by Mid Ulster District Council on Tuesday, seeks to replace the Greenvale Hotel with five new detached houses and garages.

In a statement, the Greenvale Hotel said: "The owner of the Greenvale Hotel, Mr Michael Mc Elhatton, has today confirmed an application has been made for planning permission for the redevelopment of the Greenvale Hotel site. The application was placed yesterday with the Mid Ulster Council.


"There are no immediate plans for a change of use of the premises which will continue with its current operations for the foreseeable future.

You guys should be on buying 10 tickets each and selling them on to Antrim folk. Don't let a Kildare man near the place and turn it into a fortress.

In the Pep/City documentary on Amazon prime last year city pulled out of the race for Van Dijk as they didn't value him at 75million.

A bad error of judgement
