(Car) Tax doesn't have to be taxing

Isn't the internet brilliant..
I mean we take it as read that it's a handy tool for discussing shit on blog sites, whupping people at various online games, finding out information about the new series of Doctor Who and locating pornography, but sometimes you just find something which is really, really useful.
For example it's coming up to the end of the month and my Car Tax is about to expire.
Now this normally means gathering your documents (Certificate of Insurance, MOT certificate (well, thankfully, not yet but soon enough) and the crappy reminder the DVLA send you) and trudging down to the post office to queue for ages in order to hand over a huge sum of cash for a three inch circle of perforated paper. This experience is never fun mostly because you have to sacrifice most of your precious lunch time in order to do it but mostly because a lot of the pensioners stood in front of you in the queue whiff ever so slightly of wee.
But hang on..
Re-reading the DVLA's reminder I spied that you can now get your Car Tax on T'Internet! So rather than spending an entire lunch time in some grimy sub-Post Office, I spent five minutes on the internet, clicking a few buttons and it was all done! Joy of joys!
This truly is a time and pain-in-the-arse saving device. I approve!

Not been on the blog for a while (as regular visitors will know) - sorry full of cold and nose has been too snotty to type (not a pleasant image, I'll grant you but true all the same). And whilst I'm here, apologies in advance - am off to see Nine Inch Nails in London tomorrow so am buggering off down South for the weekend. A few torrents of the last weeks show's have appeared on the internet, so if you use BitTorrent, you can hear Nine Nails Live Here.
