...bread and circuses I guess.

The World Wildlife Fund?

I think KK probably meant The World Wrestling Federation.

A logbook is NOT proof that you own the car. Your logbook or V5C registration certificate is proof that you are the registered keeper of your vehicle, which only means that you're responsible for registering and taxing the vehicle. A logbook is very important if you ever sell your car, or if you're buying a used car.

I have to admit I have never been quite certain how I prove I do actually own rhe vehicle that I paid good money for.
However I never held the log book for my company vehicle, although I had 24/7 usage of it.

To identify the vehicle's responsible party we have a wallet sized card called the Registration Certificate as well as a windshield window sticker proving valid current registration which must be renewed every two years or when the car is sold.  Also we must have a vehicle safety inspection every year along with a corresponding window sticker, and we must carry insurance documents with the car.  And on top of that as proof of ownership we have the car's "Title" document which is actual proof of ownership.  If the car is financed, the TItle document is held by the finance company until the car is completely paid for, at which time it is sent to the owner.  So we have Title to our car similar to having Title to owned land.   I notice in the "IYCPWTIA" TV program that the bailiffs often ask for a receipt of purchase to prove car ownership.

I came home to find the house van missing the driver side window.  No clue what happened, as I have not asked yet.

learned today with 4 ram slots and 2 rams, if 1 is in slot 2, put ram 2 in slot 4.
the 1st 2 slots were blue, so i put ram 2 in slot 1.  booted, all i got for my efforts was fan noise. 

Mistara

feel falling down tired.  lucky i'm sitting.  almost 1am.

setting my alarm clock for 10.  dont want to chance sleeping all day.  

TSasha Smith

I cannot sleep.  I woke up and now I cannot fall back asleep.  Even though it is early I opened my birthday presents from Daddy.  He said to open them up on my birthday.  He did not say that it had to be actual daytime, or not that I can remember.  I got a book called Lady Midnight, a pack of colored pencils, a coloring book, and a dragon blank book.  I can show pictures of that later but it is still early and my roommate is sleeping.

We used to have a tax disc - a round piece of security printed paper that you put on the inside of the winscreen as proof that you'd paid car tax for the year. Then the government had this brilliant idea that since it was all tracked on computer anyway, they could save a fortune by not issuing all these pieces of paper. Guess what: Mr Wile E Taxdodger decided that with no tax discs displayed at all, the chances of getting caught for non-payment were pretty slim, and instead of saving money, the government has lost a fortune in unpaid taxes!

I'm with you there buddy!  Large, flying, stinging, aggressive creatures are not to be handled at 2AM in your skivvies.  Grab an empty GatorAid bottle!

Complaint:  Now my other eye has developed "floaters".  It's been nearly two years since my right eye developed a wispy gauzy floater but I'd just gotten to the point where my brain learned to filter it out, and now the left eye has one (or more) too.   I'm OK for about 2 seconds after I blink and then this stringy hazy crap floats down into my main field of view again.  It's really annoying when trying to read or use the bright computer monitor. There's nothing that can be done, it's inside the ball part of the eyeball.  It's a structural support membrane that's torn loose from the ball walls.  An effect of ageing.  Eventually it sort of whithers up & shrinks like an untethered bungee net and becomes less noticeable but according to my eye doctor, the process takes months if not years.   I can understand why people from earlier ages would swear up and down that they could see ghosts while sitting in candlelight knitting or conversing or otherwise not thinking about the biology of their eyeballs.  Even I am surprised by wispy movement in my peripheral vision now and then and quickly look up to try to catch the reason and there be nothing there.  Ooh, spooky!

Non-complaint it is my birthday. complaint: I am now 35 years old.  Non complaint I get to see my mum and spend the day with her.

I opened the presents from my daddy.  Just remembered that my computer has a web cam.  So here is what my Daddy got me.  A book, a blank book, coloring book and coloring pencils.

It's more of a "Brazil" type of movie (a "fantasy/satire on bureaucratic society" directed by Pythoner, Terry Gilliam) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZKPFC8DA9_8   In the TV program  the debtors often try to convince the bailiffs that they are not the person being sought.  In the movie "Brazil", the police literally break into an apartment, toss a large bag over the suspect, and cart him away after giving his wife a receipt for her husband, despite the fact that the whole episode is a computer error and they have the wrong man.

If you haven't seen "Brazil" and like Python stuff, this is a little different but is another of Terry Gilliam's gems.

Not wishing to worry you, but are you sure it wasn't a wasp queen looking to set up housekeeping?

This time of year that's always a worry. The jasper spray killed it very dead though (although it was nearly 3am before I dared look!)
