Renewing car insurance.
Got a renewal premium from Hastings Direct of £314.82 almost double last years.
Used Go Compare and their quote is nearly £100 less than what they quoted me by letter.
Robbing bastards
Had exactly the same from Hastings last week. £460 up from £220. They did the same last year, but when I rang to cancel miraculously reduced it by £120. This time they didn't even try, so I've gone elsewhere. |

Similarly maritally chained to Paris. But if you swing it, let me know. Paris is fantastic if you do it right.
Got the job, but in the midst of a grovelling call from the HR dude this morning he confirmed it's 100% Paris based, non-negotiable. Looks like a fun weekend of toing and froing, and I could be seeking you out Red Frog. |

A shame that the chances of everything aligning to move the family are incredily slim then! |

Is it the sort of job that you could 'work from home' regularly to at least make the weekends a little longer? |

In theory yes... in practice I wouldn't travel between the two as I couldn't afford to run two households, in two of the most expensive cities in the world. For now, it's sit tight and see what sort of package they offer. |

I'm sick of parents going to the press because they can't follow a simple set of school rules.
"My daughter forced to be taught in isolation because I allowed her to to shave half her hair and dye the other half blue"
"My son sent home from school because i, as a parent was stupid enough to buy him black converse and think this was suitable foot ware"
"My daughter told her skirt is too short or trousers are too tight"
Read the fucking rules and buy the correct uniform!!!, Its not fucking hard. You might no agree with it but don't "rebel" against it, knowing very well the child will be pull up on it, then going to the press making out you are the victims.
This has reached a whole new level of ridiculousness http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3247285/Mother-complains-school-confiscates-14-year-old-son-s-e-cigarette-using-device-quit-smoking.html |

God alive. Some people really do have no sense of self-awareness at all do they? |

Years ago I got in a standoff with a red Merc 190e on Dixon Street. He decided that rather than pull into the the only space between us, that he was just approaching, he'd drive up to me so one of us would have to reverse.
I'd love to have a story that makes me sound really tough, but after I'd smoked a fag I reversed.
It annoys me typing it, but I remember finding it kind of amusing. And I was sure I knew him as well. Later found out I did, it was Ranjit the bloke who owns/did own Best Burrito.
