I remember you telling us about that crash.

I can't believe they've paid out.

It's an absolute joke!

He was insured with MoreThan. They clearly have a better legal team than Admiral group!

Sadly I can believe it.
Whilst not to the degree of Cav', I also got "had over" a couple of years ago & my insurance company also settled (even though the third party was 100% in the wrong).
It is a very frustrating situation indeed (my blood still boils when I remember it now), & I can fully sympathise with you Cav.

Ok, I know a couple months ago we were on fire and doing rain dances at every spare minute...

But now the fires are all well and truly out, the dams are all full, the river has flooded twice, and the drought in the inner east farming areas has been well and truly broken...

So take your bloody wet weather back thanks

And in California news, the Coronavirus panic-buying has begun!!!
Bottled-water, paper towels, detergents, etc. are all high on the list of long lines of enthusiastic shoppers.

As we stand on the edge of the abyss, I hope these frickin' losers are the first over the side. What a bunch of fcuking morons.

Lolz.
Speaking of The Blitz, I'm thinking that maybe I could knock myself an Anderson Shelter together in the backyard.

Toilet paper has been completely sold out everywhere in Aussie, the manufacturers have started 24 hr production. It literally is the biggest news atm (facepalm)

Rice, pasta, tissues, and toilet paper (when it turns up) are all on max purchase restrictions, and hand sanitizer is now behind the counter with the freaking smokes (fubar)

There was such a scuffle in on supermarket for toilet paper the cops ended up having to taser a shopper.

I really don’t understand it.

The human race is going backwards at an alarming rate. Feckwits absolutely everywhere.

If faced with a epidemic, I'm not sure toilet paper is high on the list of desirable and necessary items.

I've been stupid and lost the locking wheel nut key for the Jag, so I've contacted my usual dealer to get them to remove the old ones (which they can as they have all the keys). They cant give me an exact price, however they did state their hourly rate.....

£198 per hour - robbing barstewards... :|

I've told them they have 10 minutes :D

Sounds like it would be cheaper to buy another nut key!
