Family

Can't choose your blood relatives, can't sell them. [sigh] A lot of late-night round-robin phone conversations detailing the antics of one member of the family whose actions may lead them to being banned from certain places and lead to the curtailing of enjoyment for certain other family members. We may be able to smooth it over as a misapprehension or a one-off, well a one-off of this specific action at least, and put them on a form of supervised probation.

Unfortunately we can't accept testimony from the member in question as their default take on any such matters is -

• The event did not occur.
• It wasn't me.
• It was someone else.

In some variant of order regardless of witnesses or the fact that they just did it again while we discussing the first time they did it. Just not fun.

Speaking of not fun I'm going to have to tax my car as the new one is now two weeks away, then I'll have to get a refund off the DVLA. Annoyingly if I tax it for six months it includes a non-refundable £7 "administration fee" IOW pay £79.75 and get back £60.79 or pay £145 and get back £132.91; f*****s.
