I have to inform the DVLA about three fits I had 20 years ago for which I took a two year course of medication and have been trouble free ever since.
I was informed that this will result in a questionairre being sent out, once I return it they will interrogate my doctor. Obviously this will further delay my application.

I will have to do this each and every time I renew my licence.

It's the photocard that needs renewing, but you have to send both parts.

For God's sake check when you need to renew it. If you miss the date and it expires it's a complete nightmare to get it sorted out.

There are two wikis, one for the TV series and one for the books

The Winds of Winter won't be finished before they get that far in the TV series. I think they need to slow down, the book they are doing now was massive and they are cutting too much out. Best thing they can do right now is make two seasons per book and hope he catches up (which he won't)
