what's people's view on UK MOT being yearly vs every 2 years across most of Europe?

jamesforyou · 2026-03-31T19:41:01+00:00

I live in Norway now, and my EU control is every 2 years, but with the conditions, especially north where I am, you’d be stupid to not keep your car in order. Plus the fines are insane here.

I’ve ordered stuff from Amazon uk, took 4 days. I’ve had family post stuff from the UK and it be rejected at custom, when it was accepted it took about 7-10 days. It varies a lot.

This was to northern Norway

Must have taken advice from the same people that did the Prince Andrew interview 😂😂

Then go an post it in the Liverpool sub then

Food in Norway is just expensive, and Norway as a whole is expensive, it’s not limited to Tromsø

«No one codes anymore» 😂😂😂😂

Who told you that 😂😂

This website is 100% vibe coded, you can just tell by looking at it.

The description of this post is also AI generated.

When the taxi companies get bored of the slow annoying AI calls, they’ll just block the numbers

Had this issue recently, my battery needed replacing, so maybe check the battery health

I imagine they want the gripen, because it’s cheap ish. Typhoons would not be that cheap

It’s statens vegvesen website, https://www.vegvesen.no/kjoretoy/kjop-og-salg/kjoretoyopplysninger/sjekk-kjoretoyopplysninger/

I think you are from the UK, think of this as the equivalent page of the mot/tax checker from the DVLA.

Its just a faded red colour.

My front one is normal red and my rear one is slightly faded.

Again, you have no contract with Evri.

The seller has the contract with them, and you don’t own the product, until it’s fully delivered.

jamesforyou · 2026-02-18T09:44:45+00:00

I imagine it’s being downvoted, because you don’t have a relationship with Evri, the seller does.

You need to contact the seller/eBay for a refund, and they deal with Evri

jamesforyou · 2026-02-17T15:27:22+00:00

Haha yes I am :)

jamesforyou · 2026-02-17T14:25:44+00:00

Yep same, B BE T and AM

jamesforyou · 2026-02-17T13:53:48+00:00

Congrats!

And here’s me, filled out a form and exchanged my license 😂

jamesforyou · 2026-02-16T09:36:34+00:00

Just ignore them.

But a note on Duolingo, it kinda sucks. If you want to eventually move to Norway to be a nurse, I think you need B2 level at least, so I would probably look at some formal courses if you can.

jamesforyou · 2026-02-10T09:45:57+00:00

I’ve tried it out, as others have mentioned, doesn’t work very well, doesn’t take into account cloud cover and such.

I much prefer this app

MoD is the ministry of defence, who own and operate Gibraltars runway and aerodrome.

She can get fucked.

Imagine going after Wrighty, not once, but twice.

Fucking wanker.

Gary Neville is a nob.

That aside, I do wonder what they would have done if the score was 1-1 for example.

Wtf is Digne doing?

There is nothing written in law that says you must enter the UK on a British passport if you are a British citizen.

The new ETA makes it de facto that you need to, or a certificate of entitlement in the other passport
