I inherited my late mothers mobile home,

BUT

NSW s 'services ' refused to let me reregister it or change the ownership,

As the previous owner had Not signed the transfer paper.

BUT

They did allow me to scrap it , then surrender the plates to them.

Too late now  !

I took the relevant paperwork to them.

And was told promptly ' that no transfer signature,  then no transfer '.

So off to the scrap yard for $ 750 scrap value. 

Headache gone.

Spacey is correct. The vehicle had not been legally transferred from the original owner to his mother, so according the RMS, it was still the property of the original owner. Also they hadn't been paid the transfer fee and stamp duty within the specified time, so that's an offence.

 

Because I had documentation to show that my wife was deceased, I was able to transfer the registration of her car into my name. That took about five minutes. A bit longer as I had to change my bike to full registration and her car to pensioner discount.

Older bikes can use red plate scheme. Nev

[nomadpete]

Red plates?

 

Well "P" plate is a warning, to beware of the inexperienced overconfident youth in charge of a motor vehicle.

 

So I guess that Red Plates mean.......

 

"Warning! Geriatric Motorcyclist Ahead"

You can't tell till the full face helmet is off.  I wish more road users were "normal". Most are in a mad rush to get nowhere really. I think they learn on Playstation.  Nev

Sometimes the long grey beard protruding from under the helmet is a fair indication of old-fartness.

I've just shaved off my face fungus as a sign of starting the next phase of my life. Does that mean that I am now just a grumpy old poop? Pop

[nomadpete]

Losing the beard doesn't change that status.

[facthunter]

Be different. Don't have one but I have to shave every day as it's growing faster than ever., So are my nails. which are nearly impossible to cut... They used to say People who grow Beards are hiding something.  Nev

[spacesailor]

People who have beards are hinding !

SCARS

To many nicks trying to shave after a bad burn,

BUT

You wouldn,t guess it, just looking at me now.

I had a beard from about 1981 to 1994. It was a big red beard, although my hair was brown, then. I met my wife in 1990, and she was quite accepting of my beard.

However, when we were on holiday in Nth Qld in 1994, I got sick of it, and shaved it all off. It took her 2 days to realise I no longer had a beard!! 

[red750]

I had a work colleague who had a thick black beard. He shaved it off and his kids didn't recognise him.

[Old Koreelah]

I shaved mine off just before caming back from working away for a few months and sat waiting for my wife in a coffee shop. She scanned the room and gave up, then much later recognised me.

Another time she didn’t notice the lack of fungus for 72 hours, saying “there’s something different about your hair…”

[facthunter]

People would say there's "something different" about you but not know what it was. My wife reckons "You look OLDER ' with it. which is not an asset except really old people give up their seat  for you and that is a bit of a shock as well as  a delicate situation to extricate yourself from. Nev.

It all depends upon what you use to recognise someone.

I have shaved off my beard and some people have no idea who I am, while others don't notice that the beard is gone. They recognise me by my eyebrows, which are the ones John Howard copied.

What, they support people with John Howard eyebrows?

[spacesailor]

I WEAR a face mask !.

Who would reconize that one person in the teeming millions . Out there.

can,t even see my beard. Plus a cap, that hides my hair.

Yes I,ve still got a little bit on top. LoL

Marty, it should qualify as a handicap.  Nev

Isn't nature wonderful. It has arranged that we lose our sense of smell at the same time we start piddling down the front of our trousers.

[nomadpete]

See? There's proof of intelligent design.

 

Our Lord works in mysterious ways.

[facthunter]

Drink more water, You will pee more but it won't smell as much.  Stop laughing and getting scared. Nev

Why is the number of slices in a sliced loaf of bread, uneven? I'm continually getting to the end of a loaf to find I have one slice left over, after taking two slices at a time for breakfast toast and a lunchtime sandwich. It makes me think that sliced bread is not the greatest thing since ...
