The insurance companies have lots of data, they know how likely each type of job is to produce a claim. I'd imagine a Funeral Director is less likely to claim than a Wedding DJ. Factor in age, gender, education, location etc and they have a very detailed analysis of your likelihood to claim.

They'll still cover you third party or when you claim make you pay the difference in premium. Even changing your date of birth to make you seem older won't mean you're uninsured as the company will still cover you third party. Bit annoying for me when I come across it mind

Old people and technology.

I have had to explain to my Dad how WiFi works on his phone so he can turn his data off so he isn't roaming.

Over planning.

 

I like to be organised but people who overplan for no reason, tell you the plans and go on, and on, and on, and on, and on....

 

In the end I turn into a nodding dog, showing the whites of my eyes....

Just means you have been eating nice stuff and living the dream. Being thin is over rated anyway

Sorry, MC, but for reasons of age I'm with your Dad on this one.

 

With a bit of luck one day you too will reach the stage where your brain turns from a sponge into a sieve!

I went to Tesco after work on Monday at about 7pm and it was near enough empty. Beautiful stuff, I glided up the isles.

Smart move. In hindsight we should have gone this evening when it quieter. Massive school boy error on my part today.

Would love to say it's all fine foods and ale but in reality is just from sitting on my arse at work all day eating Lidl custard creams.

Pushy sales staff, just been to get a laptop which I reserved so assumed I could just pay for it and go, had some salesman telling me I had to have a protection plan on it for a monthly fee, I said I didn't want it yet he insisted it was just "something they do", another salesman overheard and luckily intervened and explained I didn't need to have it at all, absolute joke. Then to make it worse he asked me 3 times if I wanted to purchase some anti-virus software for it which I didn't. He even had the nerve to make some remarks under his breath. Wish I'd gotten his name so I could make a complaint but unfortunately was in a rush.

Of course 

[Barky]

Had similar problems with PC world staff, once they outright refused to sell me a computer without some back up service they wanted £15 more. They must be making no profit at all on the computers themselves if they'll walk away from a sale worth hundreds over a £15 back up service.
