In article <OY9Rd.1227$N%.169 (AT) newsfe5-win (DOT) ntli.net>, johnNOSPAMsmith (AT) NOSPAMhotmailNOSPAM (DOT) com says... I was with them for insurance, arranged via the AA, for years as I believed their ads about the AA finding the cheapest insurance. It was only 2 years ago when I queried a renewal quote of nearly £900 for my 1998 Fiat Brava, up from just under £600 the previous year despite no accidents, that I discovered they only choose the lowest quote from about 12 companies on a list. When I queried the AA boy on the phone about this he got really shitty IMPO and I put the phone down on him, rang around a few companies and all quoted me about £300 - £350. I figured when those ads that say they'll ring round everyone for you that they wouldn't compare every single one, just those that they have commission links with. I was just about to renew my car insurance with Direct Line, made mention of this to a colleague, just out of general conversation before I did it, and they recommended Eagle Star (now Zurich) as we'd get 30% off due to being civil servants, so I didn't make a call to Direct Line and got a quote online that evening. It's something like 260-270 instead of 350 now  -- Dom Robinson Gamertag: DVDfever email: dom at dvdfever dot co dot uk /* http://DVDfever.co.uk (editor), http://LeilaniWeb.co.uk (editor), /* 1036 DVDs, 303 games, 126 CDs, 92 cinema films, 33 videos, concerts & news /* super size me, katherine jenkins, elvis singles, hellboy, pearl jam Fight back against "PRESS RED": http://dvdfever.co.uk/pressrel/pressred.shtml DVDfever.co.uk on BBC News 24's Click Online! - http://tinyurl.com/2mqj4 |

They have a speed limiter that restricts them to 56MPH. If you're such a pathetic wimmp of a human being that you get frightened by lorries passing on the other side of the road then stay at home, lock the doors and shut the curtains. Oh, and the problem wasn't the lorry..it was the fucking Highways Agency. The Highways Agency is responsible for every stone on the road? Looking at the lack of clearing up after resurfacing..yes. |

Ah, "Conor", now I remember you. I also remember why I killfiled you some time back, because of your behaviour. Back you go into obscurity. Why did you feel the need to post that? Do you think I honestly care? |
Sad...

You ranted on about being on the sick, although you were probably about as
sick as the Miller bloke in Eastenders, and given the ranting you did in
usenet you'd clearly run out of your brain medicine.
This was also a good one: http://tinyurl.com/6mqve
Actually, I don't think I will killfile you. It's more fun to watch an odious
little creep like you explode.
And, FYI, when the lorry went past, it made a sound like thunder. That's why I
said "thundering". You really are a bit thick, aren't you?

longer now than they used to. Erm, no thanks, I think I'd rather have all
those 7 years to myself. I think I'll have earned it by the time I get to 65.

Dom Robinson (google (AT) dvdfever (DOT) co.uk) gurgled happily, sounding much like they were saying : Ta for that. Did you ring them first before getting the windscreen sorted, or do it first and them claim it back later? It's just that I want to get it looked at first and if they can sort it there and then I'll let them get on with it to save time. Ring the glass company, and tell 'em who you're insured with - take the paperwork in - you won't get a bill. Just got back and there's a blob of the stuff on the screen where they did the |
replacing the screen I don't know what could be done about the lines coming
off it. If I can't change it then I'll accept it as one of life's "shit
happens".
I guess it'd be easier if I took some pics, but could they really be made
invisible? And if I sit in my car looking up at the screen taking still shots
with my camcorder, the neighbours across the road will think I'm filming them
in their bedroom
Thanks very much for everyone's help (I won't say "except Conor" since he
didn't help).
(* I bet Conor will tell me off for using a word like 'almighty' as a
descriptive term

Bollocks...of course it is. I get sick of the unrequired sensationailsm. "Ooh if we use the word 'thundering' it makes them look bad and everyone will agree with my point of view" Nope: You've developed a knee-jerk reaction to anything that mentions |
That you've managed to take offence at the word 'thundering' proves the
point.

reading the above posts, but I don't "kill file" because I may miss a tiny
nugget of something. You act like a playground bully because you can,
because the chance of one of us actually meeting you in person is very
remote. I hate people who hide like that, little wimps in the security of
their own keyboard. Wanker.
Conor can say what he likes - this is usenet - if you can't put up with it,
put your PC in the box it came in and return it to the seller with a wee
note saying, "I'm too stupid to use one".
After you've done that, take a flying fuck through a rolling doughnut. ARSE.
