These guys calling you "Daddy", they aren't hanging about near public toilets are they? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A drug deal that went South pretty quickly when they wanted to leave with the cash and the drugs, ended in a lot of stabbing. Don't think even Perry Mason had a case where the actual culprit was one of the jury... I've been on a jury three times (called three times more but managed to avoid it) but only once did the case run its course. The first time was an assault/GBH in the Falkirk area; charges were dropped on the second day because it was just a big fight outside a pub and they couldn't prove who started it. The second one was something similar but the accused changed his plea on the second day. Third one was attempted rape/sexual assault; guy was found not guilty as the victim had been pissed and was apparently up for it. (Don't blame me, I voted guilty but I was in the minority.) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stellaboz Posted August 19, 2023 Share Posted August 19, 2023 The wife decided to play the soundtrack to "Hair" this morning. Is there anything more excruciatingly painful on the ears??? When my cats throw up it sounds better than this utter shite. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Danny Baker tells the story about him being too young to see the stage show but his sister got him in. There was a part of the show that the cast appear in the aisles, the protagonist was sitting on an aisle seat and was slapped in the pus with a cock when one of the actors swung round whilst in dance in what was probably a well rehearsed move. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just calculated that, and you’re just a few years older than me. Would have been 39 for me, with 28.5p change. Enough for 20 Regal, and I’d still have 3.5p left. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FK1Bairn Posted August 19, 2023 Share Posted August 19, 2023 This might be a RTBC but I got my car insurance renewal email in during the week and was quoted nearly £170 more than last year. Phoned them up today to cancel and they've given me the same policy for the same price as last year. The cheek these companies have in hoping people will just accept the quote!! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RuMoore Posted August 19, 2023 Share Posted August 19, 2023 People not understand the difference between the "for you" section on Twitter trends and what's actually trending on Twitter. I keep on seeing people self snitching about weird stuff that's allegedly trending when it's just them getting confused with the tabs. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roughly 40% of auto insurance buyers don't shop their policy each renewal... Roughly 90% of auto insurance buyers who do shop their policy see a savings... It's money in the bank for the insurance company. They just boil the frog, and even worst case they are getting free money from a decent percentage of their policyholders. £170, lets say about 100,000 customers...40% just automatically renew, that's £170 x 40,000 = £6,800,000 free. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of the guys at work was moaning about his car insurance last year going up so I asked if he checked elsewhere and he said no the company he was with were the cheapest when he passed his test 7 years previous. Stuck his details into one of the comparison sites and saved him over £1000. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
