A word to vehicle insurance companies…

Unless you automatically offer me your very best quote on my renewal, I will take insurance from someone else.

My insurers had the cheek to increase my premiums by twenty quid, even though I now have a year’s no claims bonus more than the previous year. When I check on their website, the quote comes in far lower than the renewal quote.

So now, I’ve changed my insurer.. saved myself £80 and reduced my excess.

May I present Exhibits A and B

Exhibit A – Page 11


Exhibit B – Enlargement of Page 11 – Coloured red


I wonder if this was intentional!

If I say “Om nom nom nom” at work, everyone knows I’m asking “Are you ready for lunch?” (from omnomnomnom.com), but I was wondering if anyone else had weird phrases that they use that other people just don’t understand?

Yesterday I handed my notice in on my flat and my job. I’m moving back up to Yorkshire to start a new job in November. I’m really looking forward to going back up, but I’m going to miss so many people down here in Ipswich
