The Queens Gambit

I recommend this new series , just finished watching it . It has some low points but over all really good . Some great music in it also , listen out for Peter Noone’s version of End of the World .. If you see someone looking at the ceiling , they might be playing chess . ;) https://youtu.be/CDrieqwS...

Re: Vehicle Log Book Change.

I did mine online , but from what people say I don’t think it matters .

My log book still has my old address on it , they don’t send you a new one .

Sorry - you mentioned iPad :?

Anyway, just tried it on my W10 PC via Chrome browser and it worked fine, so, not sure what the issue could be, sorry.
Thanks JB , it’s good you have confirmed it does work for you .

It’s a mystery why it has stopped working for me . I will keep searching .

Google play store

On my iPad I used to be able to install apps from the google play web site to my phone , not anymore.

It tells me the app is compatible with all of your devices , but when I click install the indicator just goes around and around and nothing happens .

Does anyone have a cure ?

Re: Tax for Gesy.

Definitely send the email and get your exemption letter , it makes it clear S1 holders do not have to pay for Gesy .

I have posted this scan before .

Re: Tax for Gesy.

The thing I love about Taxisnet is you can play about with figures to see what effect they have before you hit the final submission . I tried it with saying I did not have an S1 and indeed I would have had to pay 339€ for Gesy . Then I went back and put in my S1 details and the result was no payment...
