I think that's a really good idea but a Ginger Nut would be better wouldn't want to waste the chocolate in the holder or on the screen.

Talk about going off topic - you lot really take the biscuit...



Make it a jaffa cake, then you're talking.

On a more serious note:-

One of the Police Forces in this country is offering a downloadable First Aid folding disc tthat can hold the vital information need if your vehicle is involved in a collision and the occupant(s) are unconscious.  Blood groups, contact details, that sort of thing.

It might be a good idea, but only if other police personnel are aware that such information exists!

Sorry to be a Luddite, but wouldn't all that info on a card do the same thing?

Apologies in advance but imagine the scene, the police arrive at a crash and the disc states three occupants but they only find one body.  Are the other two lying on the verge somewhere or are they sitting at home in front of Eastenders?

And how would it cope with taxis?

If Big Brother gets his way we'll all have to have ID cards and said data could be held there.  But what happens when you lose yours?  Perhaps we'll all end up being micro-chipped like they do with cats and dogs!

Got my lump from the Flu injection this morning but I suppose those in Oz don't need such things (except in the Snowy Mountains, (Mighty Big River another John Williamson song)).

Any how I wear an SOS Talisman, all relevant details Blood Type, Allergies, Contact Details etc. And all emergency crews recognise it.

Sorry off topic again.

A bit like those "Baby/Little Princess/Scrote on board" signs. I think they should be removed if they are indeed at home watching Eastenders. A fireman (or someone else) could waste a lot of time looking for a non-existent occupant.

Anyway, back on topic. Can all tax discs be removed now even if they have 6 months left to run?

Yes you can throw it away.

There's an obvious answer to this question, but this is a family forum.....

I'll pass on that one , mot's as well
