post office & internet insurance
Sat, 28 Mar 2009 07:27:33 -0700 (PDT)
Today I attempted to purchase a new tax disc at the post office. This
was refused by the clerk who informed me that insurance certificates
printed from the Internet were not acceptable.
Being a (hopefully) sane individual at the time the insurance was due
I shopped around before finding the cheapest deal with a ...

Copyright etc
Fri, 27 Mar 2009 16:21:32 GMT
I have found it time saving to grab good quality mp3s from torrents of
albums I have on vinyl to save me the hassle of copying them over so I can
hear them away from home etc. Noting the hissy fit of the music industry
again (much like home taping is killing music back in the day), about
illegal downloads, I w ...

Info on receipt
Wed, 25 Mar 2009 10:23:44 +0000
Must a receipt contain some indication of what it is a receipt _for_?
Background: I ordered a book from Waterstones(*) for which I had to pay
in advance. The receipt does not indicate what book I ordered (the
receipt is 31 cm x 7.8 cm so it's not as if there's no room for the
info.) Now, just suppose a book ar ...

I have received a letter from solicitors acting for a major
sports governing body telling me that they have discovered
that I have sold tickets to their sporting events on ebay
and as this contravenes their "rules" they are demanding
that I :-
1. Tell them where I got the tickets from
2. Send them the (small ...

Time for air mail
Tue, 24 Mar 2009 15:16:39 +0000
An air mail letter from Thailand has taken 19 days to arrive. A
bar-code like thing on the front of it has been obliterated with a black
felt-tip pen and a white strip of paper has been stuck on the back with
a bar-code like thing on it.
Two questions:
(i) Is 19 days a long time?
(ii) What's with the bar ...
