They should have one for bicycles.

I still have my valid UK driving licence from years ago. A funny bit of folded, mostly green, paper with no photo. It was supposed to be valid until I was 70 - which is still many years away - so what do I do with it now? Will I have a new online record somewhere?
...and what is this "National Insurance number"? I don't remember having anything like that - I left the UK in 1990 and haven't worked there since. I brag to my US colleagues about how the UK doesn't treat everyone like a number but like people, by name - unlike the USA, where everything is done with a Social Security Number (SSN).
Do I just have a bad memory or is this something new?

I'm in the same boat - left sunny Aberdeen in 93 and still have my old UK licence, complete with holes where the folded corners got worn away! Expires in 2035.
I not only remember having a National Insurance number, but I also remember the number itself - just as well since I have no idea where the card is! As far as I remember it was on a small card, not unlike the Social Security card...

Aha! Now we are getting somewhere. I left in 1990 and don't remember the little number card you describe, and you left in 1993 and do remember it, obviously. So somewhere between those dates big brother took over the UK!

No, Im pretty sure I had that card / number for a long time before 93. I have a vague feeling that I got it when I was 18 or 16 or something like that. Pretty sure I had to use it when I had summer jobs at Uni (83-85 and 87-90 - don't ask!).
Ah, some more information here. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Insurance_number[^]

OK, I vaguely remember them now. I wonder what my number is? I won't worry unless I decide to go back to Blighty someday.

Advance is Go, and AT was an early computer (the IBM AT) - plus you think DD is a goat (or a rake).

Should be fine. You do know that I avoid answering them precisely because I don't want to have to come up with the questions don't you?

I did some search, but didn't found the connection between rake and goat...

Alex: Fix it? How you gonna fix this?
Skipper: Grit, spit and a whole lotta duct tape.

Think this one of those cases where a few shared words in the dictionary definitions make it look like a synonym but it isn't!

Awesome virtual walk through[^]
Quote: Son Doong is one of the world's largest caves, with enormous chambers that can comfortably fit a 747 airplane or an entire New York City block full of 40-story buildings. Its mammoth chambers extend so far that explorers have called Son Doong an "infinite cave." And with an amazing new digital tour, you can plunge below ground to see it yourself without ever leaving the country.

14400 (baud) is definitely quick enough! That's my next T-shirt caption sorted!

640k RAM also ought to be sufficient.

This is Javascript. If you put big wheels and a racing stripe on a golf cart, it's still a f***ing golf cart.
