urrrrrrgh
soooo i am a moron who did not get around to renewing my car tax on time. in my defence, i didn't get the reminder until sat morning, as the postman put it through next door's letterbox and they only got back from holiday on sat, but i should have realised when it ran out. new tax disc duly ordered and paid for... but... some bastard miserable cunt of a copper spent his time yesterday giving me a £100 fine. i have never had points, never hit anyone, never not had insurance or paid tax on time before, generally been a very good and responsible girl. and this is how they reward one tiny little 10 day mistake?

humph. i will be appealing it. just need to work out some spurious legal reason........

..... point being that then it will be ME saying something strange. and implausible.

Time of the month?
Will that hold up in court?

i doubt it
esp if i get a female judge. i'll just go for the "i'm soooo sorry, it's my first ever mistake and i had already paid before you gave me the fine, please don't make me have to pay it, you've already robbed me of nearly £300 just to keep the fucking thing on the road, to say nothing of what i pay in fuel duty, vat etc........"

it's a rubbish excuse

True.
Not sure what menstruating has to do with it though. It's like a teenage girl using it as an excuse to get out of PE. Lame. And it does a disservice to those who genuinely suffer with their periods.

I don't know, it's probably wise if they're doing gymnastics
She might take an unfortunate tumble on the horse and spray blood all over her classmates.
