I've been moving a big pile of boulders today that I've had in the corner of my garden for a few years & I found this.  I live near a brook, so I thought it could be a newt, but I've never seen one this colour before.  Anyone know what it is?

Female smooth/common newt, probably

What's the name for the phenomenon of getting a series of green lights on your car journey? Is there a name for it or am I imagining there's one?

Colourblindness

After some extensive Googling I found it's called 'The Green Wave' (you can tell I'm having a thrilling day).

If you want to start your own business up,  is it difficult to get a bank loan to help you with the first couple of weeks/months?

Depends on many factors I think. Some banks want a War and Peace business plan, security on the loan and financial projections before they'll even entertain the idea. Others are less stringent depending on the amount you want to borrow. If you've got a decent credit rating, your own bank might might offer you a normal loan if you just need funds for a few weeks/months to get you started, and you might not even need to specify its for a business start up. Often you can get a personal loan up to £20k for a holiday/car etc. so could go down that route. And you could also look at government start up support for new businesses. I'd maybe start by having an informal chat with your small business advisor at your local branch.

You are correct and the word you are thinking of is ...

 

Luckybastardness (adjective) ....    To come across a series of green lights when travelling by car.

 

As opposed to a similar but nevertheless different word ...

 

Extremelyfookinluckybastardness (adjective) ....    1. To describe a  bloke who always shags the best looking girls at parties.   2. To encounter nothing but green lights on a complete journey.

On the rare occasion that this happens I say: " Eh up, I'm eating my greens ". Dunno why, perhaps I heard someone else say it.

If you go on the course you do not get any points. So no you do not need to mention this to the insurance people.

Only if they ask about it specifically; a speed awareness course isn't a motoring conviction.

Me too.

 

I googled it and it was suggested that it may invalidate any claim that you make if you don't mention it.

when I got caught speeding and did the course, the teacher in the course said the insurance companies shouldn't charge you extra as punishment because you've taken the course. 

 

Likewise, police can't use it against you in future either if you got caught speeding.

Some insurers eg admiral, elephant etc will ask on Renewal, and will hike up the price.  I know this, cus it happened to me
