this site will reproduce a genuine period tax disk for your car/van/bike/gaggingwagon etc fully hand written in the style of the original tax disk the vehicle would have been registerd with.
this is not a valid disk and is for show only.
however with the phaseing out of the paper tax disk , i wonder if you could get away with this in the screen purely as a decorative item? after all your tax will be on one of many databases and accsessable via anpr or a quick search request by plod on foot

Units with over 120% casualties due to soldiers having two kinds of typhus, Malaria and good knows what horrible skin rotting jungle disease at the same time...
Then you add hidden japs snipers during the day, infiltrators during the night on top of the actual fighting... With NO possibility of evacuation and little to no medical attention.
It's a bloody miracle anybody got out alive.

after being released and given some medical atention to get him home, the first thing his family did nearly killed him, they made him a huge dinner despite the doctors telling them not to.
he was captured when singapore fell and died when he was in his sixty's he never regained any sort of good health and suffer terrible terrible nightmares for years , despised and hated the japanese but not for what they had done to him but for what they had done to his friends and pals.

he was with the BEF in France and got evacuated somewhere north of Dunkirk then got sent out to the Far East. The only time he spoke to me about it as a kid I stupidly asked if he'#d killed anyone (I was 8) and he never spoke to me about it again.
Edit

Seriously considering dropping 200 notes on a Oculus rift 2 dev kit.
Any here got any experience with it?
( , Thu 1 May 2014, 16:08, Reply)

It's "okay". I've played with the second gen one it's "A bit better". You'll get a bit of motion sickness if you're using modded games like Skyrim etc and there are a few decent things out there, but it's definitely not the finished article yet.
Having played Valkyrie with the full HD version recently at a show, they are really close to getting it perfect ... but I can say they're at last a year away from getting that version to market.
You'll also need a rocking graphics card with good 3d support (obviously), 3/4 GB of RAM and that's going to set you back at least £250+ as a minimum too.

Got a GTX580 starting to age but overclocked stable to 920ghz still plays most things well.
When you say "full HD version" is that Dev kit 2 or something else?

I almost clicked 'buy' the other day too, just from Elite: Dangerous reviews. This one in particular, even though it's the lower def dev kit, really brought home to me why I need one in my life, like, yesterday. www.rockpapershotgun.com/2013/12/20/elite-dangerous-oculus-rift/

Ordered second gen as soon as available and using first gen with this now: emrlabs.com/index.php?pageid=3 it's pretty epic.
I was a member of MTBS3D some years before the rift and was a keen HMD forum member: I have a blog here documenting things up until the rift and slightly beyond, an interesting read if you can be arsed:

Recommend attending life drawing groups too.
Loads of small ones you can join.
Drawing naked people makes drawing people with clothes on a lot easier because you know have they should fall. Plus you get to look at naked people which is always good.
