Look.

When you're working away from home and you only have several windows of opportunity to get the MOT that you need for the tax disc, it can be something of a bind.

And yet I managed it several times when I was working in Germany and my car was in Wimbledon. I must be superhuman.

I'd have thought it would be easy enough to drop the car off in the morning or take it into a while you wait at lunchtime, assuming it isn't a piece of junk that needs 2 weeks in the shop to pass it's MOT. If it is that bad, perhaps it's time to buy a new one?

While you're waiting, read the free novel we sent you. It's a Spanish story about a guy named 'Manual.'

Nope, all you show is a lack of common sense, organisation and cluefulness...

NOT in fact not only do I not believe a word of it I don't believe anyone with a brain would. Plus I struggle to believe anyone would think creating such a transparent sockpuppet could be amusing or entertaining.

Again utter bollocks, done it myself repeatedly it's trivial and clearly a feeble attempt to make this pathetic sockie look more credible.

Give it up it's sad.

Well, suggesting that a couple with a baby would be in business class was already stretching credulity, so I'm with mf on this one. "Not".

Down with racism. Long live miscegenation!

Good of you to finally admit to being a dullard. Come on admin - do it.
