On the way over the alps last week, there was a bit of turbulence which caused me to spill a little of my wine.

I watched a 9/11 doco called 4 flights, it was very good but the women narrating all had that horrible vocal fry thing...
Annoying.

Had exactly the same issue with Home Insurance.My car insurance renewal notice arrived this week. It's increased by 25%. I found a much cheaper alternative with the
same cover from a reputable company for less than I paid last year. In recent years I've had to change my car insurance every year because each time I change I get a decent rate for the first year which is then hugely increased for the second year. What annoyed me most is the fact that when I rang up to cancel the renewal (it would have automatically renewed if i hadn't) I was told they could "do something" about the price if I stayed with them. Then why didn't you offer me the "do something" price in the first place arseholes? Absolute fucking racket.
I never have auto renew (Martin Lewis) just in case the insurers "claim" I didn't cancel.
Renewal increased from £130 to £190. Told them I could get Tesco for £120, insurers came back with £135 but I turned them down for trying to rob me.

Just watching the Manics' set on the iPlayer and they are as awesome as ever. Strange how Sean has transformed himself into Seasick Steve as he certainly didn't look like that at Castlefield Bowl a matter of weeks ago!
I like PSB but found their set a tad disappointing. Just played the same songs they've been playing on their tour without any surprises.

but he IS causing an obstruction on the road, there is a tight kink at the top and because of how narrow the road is at the top - put it this way a bin wagon / fire engine would struggle to get past - its only a transit van (modern equivalent) so pavement is more than able to stand it. better still park it outside his own bl**dy house or on his own bl**dy drive!But that sounds like he’s doing the right thing. If he’s not causing an obstruction on the road and other vehicles can still pass by. Like I said earlier, pavements are not designed for the heavy vehicles and end up with churned up tarmac or broken and uneven paving slabs. Things we all have to pay for to be repaired.

My renewal came through at £120 more than last year. Fuck that obviously, so went on money supermarket and had a quote for £20 less than the one I had last year. Was thrilled to bits. Went online to tell the current ones not to renew as Id got a better deal and they then quoted me a tenner less than the AA, so £130 less than their original. Grabbed it with both hands obviously, but what a bunch of cunts trying it on in the first place. Loads of people must just take the quote offered for them to chance it.My car insurance renewal notice arrived this week. It's increased by 25%. I found a much cheaper alternative with the

Its a game. And pointless. They are all underwritten by the same institution anyway, and loads of these companies are all under the same owners anywayIt was the AA that whacked my premium up by 25% this month.

Several times in the past couple of years I have been on the receiving end of foulmouthed abuse from young(ish) women. Last week in Aldi carpark a young lass in an Audi was parking in a disabled spot as I was pushing my trolley past. I didn't deviate from where I was going, but I was looking thinking 'she doesn't look like the typical disabled driver' (and I am very well aware that there is no such thing). Anyway she jumps out of the car looks at me and shouts 'What are you fucking staring at' then 'You got a fucking problem?' The thing that bugs me is they know they will get away with it. If I, as a bloke, said that to another bloke, I don't think I could have any complaints if he smacked me in the gob, but they think they can say what they like and get away with it. AIBU ?
