Be Excellent To Each Other

Anyone had anything bad happen?

I read this thread.

Sister in law might have a baby today, but it'll take a while for me to get news of the sex, so I won't know if I'm an uncle or an aunt.

That, and I might go over to someone's house to watch Legally Blonde

I was born on Friday the 13th, so every one is like a mini birthday for me. Hooray!

Today's bad luck though is that my local cinema isn't showing the new Friday the 13th movie. I need to see Jason - even if he is a stupid, running, jumping Jason nothing like the character I love.

so was my wife, who incidentally has her birthday today, so we're having a good day..*

and i was born on saturday 14th, at 2 am, so probably i saw some light already on friday 13th


* who is fastest in discovering her age then?

I made brews this morning before realising that I had used all the milk yesterday. Happily I was able to avert catastrophe by going to the shops.

You are the biggest hypocrite known to man.

Do you not think it was written with a knowing smile?

I walked under a black cat whilst a ladder crossed my path smashing mirrors.

The problem is that someone with knowing smile sometimes looks like a smug twat.

I'm pretty sure they did that nine months ago.

Good work. I'd been trying to think of a decent gag for a whole five minutes.

I inadvertently deleted the only partition on my external 1TB drive after leaving it plugged in to a computer during the Windows XP Install process.

It was only when I noticed 931GB of unallocated space on the drive in the installer that I thought "hang on, this computer only has 80GB" and panicked.

Fortunately I have partition recovery software so I didn't lose anything.

Well it's payday for me, so it's nay bad a day in my book.

Also, didn't 13 once use to be a lucky number?

Excellent maritime trivia: It used to be considered highly unlucky to set sail for a voyage on a Friday.

Outted!

Look at your crotch?

I had not one but two utter cunts refuse to let me merge (which I was being polite about) this morning, which because I was very tired nearly resulted in a crash for all three of us. Fucking cunts.

That's because the lazy crew wouldn't do any work for the next two days.

I saw it the first time. One corner of my mouth raised slightly, if that helps.

Internet crackpot believes he symbiotically 'merges' with other human beings. Film at 11.

Thanks. It wasn't one of mine.

Your friend, outted:

I'm sick with an incipient cold which hopefully won't turn into one of my typically spectacular ones.

I was born the 13th of April and so considered it my lucky number for years. Latterly, I've decided that it might be the reason I'm so unlucky.

It's lucky you figured that out.

March has a Friday the 13th as well. Is it common to get two months in a row like that?

When it happens in Feb, yeah.

28 days = 4 weeks, innit?

Durrh, oh yeah.

*Edits post*

I love the number 13.

Both my names begin with the 13th letter of the alphabet (my first name even ends with it)

It's the number of cards in a suit

It's the number of months their should be in a year

It often doesn't exist as a flat number or floor number.

In the flats I grew up in flat 13 was a secret flat, no one knew what went on in there.

I managed to accidently put a phone on ebay for £6000 and lost out to the tune of £500 on my car insurance. Not good.

Crikley, 500 quid for car insurance is quite a bit.

I ended up paying £1150 for my car ins last year as I had two outstanding accidents or it would have been £350. They've been closed now, and I have my no claims, so I'm supposed to get the extra I paid back. But apparently calculating it by todays rates, it's an extra £500 with this company. Not impressed..

A couple of the young lads were talking car insurance the other night and one was paying £1500 and another £1900. I begrudge paying £400!

I paid 7 quid less for car insurance than I did for the car.

Bike insurance is sub 200 quid now, but TPFT, as the bike is worth buttons.

MrsA's empolyers insure me on the Gayolf.

I'm paying £380 this year on the 1.6 Civic, but the first year I was insured on my 986cc Renault 5, it cost £1,200.

I'm paying £190 for fully comp on a 1.8 MX5, I am old though so I won't go fast enough to crash.

You oldies are the worst for causing accidents, sitting at 50 in the middle lane of motorways, etc, etc.

I'm hoping - but not realistically expecting - that my insurance will be 3 figures this year. For a 32 year old with 6 years no claims and a 12 year old car.

Charl had her speed awareness course* last week and said that of the 17 attendees, none were teenagers and most were at least mid-40s.

This morning a woman joined the M602 blissfully unaware of the hightop, LWB transit that had to take evasive action to avoid a collision. Thankfully the Volvo in front of me had predicted this and wasn't overtaking it. She looked to be in her 30s.

I have discovered that pointing at people and shouting "BANNED!" is a more effective release than calling the lane-hogging, slow-driving bastards a cunt.

* "Would madam like an easy £90 day course or 3 points, £60 fine and possible insurance premium repercussions for the next 5 years?"

/pukes on desk
I insure a 4-litre modified Range Rover and a transit van for less than £400 a year - what the fuck?

Yeah, I'm only paying £529 fully comp. a year for my modified, import GT-Four and I'm 25 with 4 years no claims. I think my car's insurance group 17 (possibly higher given that it's imported and modified) and the M3 is what, 20?

I know a girl who insisted on getting a practically brand new Audi A3 as soon as she passed her test.

19 years old, been driving 1 week, on-street parking in a dodgy part of Liverpool, A3 1.6.

Any guesses?

2k

Liverpool postcode, separated from Toxteth by Dingle, convertible, a (protected) fault claim 2 years ago, more desirable (according to dodgy stats) than an old Range Rover, and (the model has) a historically high rate of first-party claims with no others involved. Is your Range Rover a group 20? Do you do 16k miles a year in it?

My Octavia cost a grand to insure when I moved over (3 years ago), and my Civic would've been £1500. So to be driving an M3 Evo convertible for insurance between the two is a big improvement already, especially with the claim.

Unfortunately, I do rather demand comfort and enjoyment from the cars I buy, and they'll all be towards a grand to insure and under 50mpg, so over 3 years I wouldn't even break even on chopping it in, apart from maybe a Fiat 500 Abarth or Punto Essesse. Then again, other maintainence costs are running higher than I budgeted.

£400



A month

Fuck me sideways.

it's cheaper to rent a room in oxford.

That's outrageous. Charl paid under £900 as the main driver on the (54 plate) Octy vRS, even with 0 no claims (although she was 28). The crims are favouring them again too the last year or so - we'll see if that message has reached the insurance stats in a couple of months.

That is 13 quid a day just to have it sat outside.

I told her it would be a metric fuckload, but she did it anyway. She has literally no other outgoings though (lives at home, no debt) so she can afford it.

Even now, 3 years later, she's paying over £1200 for the year.

Eshk. I don't know what group the RR is, that all went out the window when she asked "Are any parts modified" and I said "Yeah, all of them".
Obviously the BM is a nicer target for car thieves, but it's got an alarm, right? Fuck's sake - mine doesn't even have doors.
Insurance is broken.
