When someone says 'red sauce'... no it's not red sauce, it's tomato sauce/ketchup.

The cost of car insurance.

How is it I'm being quoted £420 for a 2L 3 series that's 10 years old with 9 years no claims discount? :cry:

I'm dealing with my Dad's car insurance and his renewal quote has gone up by 30%. No change in circs and full no claims. Complete rip off. Now hitting the comparison sites where, no doubt, the same company will offer a much cheaper deal

Agreed. Everytime i see somebody driving like a dickhead nine times out of ten it's an Audi driver. The other time is generally a BMW driver :D

Been asked to sort out a major operational issue with a piece of infrastructure, and when I tried to troubleshoot it, I just kept uncovering more and more related issues, each with other "linked" issues that will need to be investigated. So basically, I've fixed nothing and have given myself a pile of other work to do, and am none the wiser as to what's causing the problem.
I was an IT Major Incident manager for four years, the above sounds very familiar.
Hated the job in the end.

Always always always haggle with insurance companies. Especially if they've put it up for no reason. Last year I renewed my bike insurane and it had gone up by 100 sheets, despite years of no claims and it being garaged etc. I flat refused to pay it saying they were taking the piss to which they immediately knocked 50 quid off. Not good enough I said, knock another 50 off and we'll be in business. After much sob stories and basically bull**** they knocked a further 50 off to what it should have realistically been in the first place. I'm convinced the additional was commission for the phone bod and his manager.

Re insurance - it seems to be standard practice. Nothing to do with risk, just that most people simply renew without checking. Always change.
