Twisted it about 8 months ago.. When a power drill jammed.

Quote: billwill @ July 17 2009, 2:59 AM BSTI think those would be called Trade Plates over here, but dealers would never let you drive a sold vehicles with those. You have to sort out your insurance before you drive away from the dealer. Number plates have a permanent ID for each vehicle so don't need changing.
The validity of the annual registration is a tax disk a circular certificate about 3" accross, which must be displayed on the vehicle, usually stuck to the inside of the windscreen where it can be read from outside.
Dealer plates are for unsold vehicles. Once they're sold you get a paper temporary tag until the permanent one arrives in the mail.
Registration varies between states. Here in Texas we have front and rear plates, a sticker on the windscreen showing the expiration month/year of the tag and there's another sticker that shows the vehicle's safety inspection expiration date. There are no stickers attached the the license plate itself.
In Florida they have no plate on the front of the car, the tag's expiration date is shown by a sticker on the plate and there is no state inspection program or sticker.
Ner-night!
Oh! Wait!
Did you accidentally stab your wrist with a syringe full of liquidised Dairylea?
Bill?
(Bloody patients, no gratitude...)

I don't quite see how that could be an accident as you would have to liquidise the Dairylea before you could "accidentally" stab it into yourself.
Sorry, I've ruined it. 
Are you going to bed Tim? If you are, don't forget to put out the cat and feed the goldfish...
Well, I was. But now I have to find a cat and a goldfish.

Put out the cat? When Amy lived here, she had a cat called "Scratcher" or it's nickname (ie. my name for it) was "Bastard Cat" but anyway, point being, we locked it in.
Sorry, I'd give you our fish, but I accidentally forgot to feed it when my son was at summer camp. Goldfish get ugly when they hang out dead in a murky bowl...yuck.

Our cat's name is Gladys and she's a silky ho.
