Here’s a cautionary tale regarding temporary car insurance that all drivers should take into account.
A couple of weeks ago my brother, who has been out working in Canada for the past year, came back to visit. To keep him mobile I rustled up some temporary car insurance so he would be covered for the duration of his stay.
If you’ve just had a child, or you’re about to have a child, then you should seriously consider giving it a name. The likelihood is that you’ve already considered some names. This is good. Without a name, it is very hard for your child to achieve anything at all. He or she will find it challenging to actually exist on any real level – you need a name before you can actually be registered as a citizen of any country. Baby names are vital.
I was in Hamley’s Toy Store yesterday, god I get around don’t I? Anyway, I went in and was predictably drawn towards the Lego section – the only toy that matters in my crucial opinion. I was taking a gander at some of the sets and I came across the latest Indiana Jones Lego sets. It all looked quite similar to the films, I thought, until I took a closer butcher’s hook at one of the baddie’s planes.
The weather system of Western Europe has stunned residents of England by producing a moderate amount of precipitation. The water, described by experts as rain, has been coming out of the sky since yesterday evening.
The season of apathy has truly come upon me, to the degree where I wish I’d taken out health insurance so that I could go and lie in a tanning salon for free. But I have to pay for it myself, or just get some vitamin D tablets. Can’t I just go into stasis until the darling buds of may show their sunny heads?
Sometimes, maybe on a Saturday morning, I feel like I’ve lost a few brain cells. It might be consumption of vast quantities of Belgian lager, but I think I need to invest in some online backup facilities in order to stop the data leakage.
Imagine what it would be like at a bailiff’s convention. Corporate events such as this would be a sight to behold. You’d have hundreds of men in one place who, in a civilised society, couldn’t find any positions as homicidal maniacs – and so became the next best thing, a bailiff.
Imagine if a particular bailiff’s convention took place in a vast country mansion. Those bailiffs would be thinking to themselves “ha ha, they actually invited us in!” That, of course, is the first mistake that anyone can make when they see a bailiff. Those lads would certainly be confused as the door swung open, greeted by a waiter carrying a tray of Champagne glasses. All the black-clad bailiffs would then jam their feet in the doorway expectantly, just in case the waiter tried to close the door.
Gatwick Airport, the UK’s second busiest air hub has been sold to GIP – Global Infrastructure Partners for a whopping 1.51 Billion quid. Now Ferrovial, the company who did own it, can get back in their used Honda, (which has cost them several hundred in airport parking fees, but it’s ok coz they have the key to get the money out of the machine) and pay off their debts, which amount to 1 Bill.
Not a hedgehog, we cannot sleep
Midday wreathed in pale grey cloud, miles deep
A rock, a tree, a bush, a cellar
No place to hide for a small town dweller
The sun she hides, shining elsewhere
No warmth till spring, only weeds do fare
Well, atop broken glass walls, along cracks
Autumn has found us, so grab your Macs
I share a house with 3 girls: a Spaniard, a Kazakstani and a Turkmenistani. This has done wonders for my cultural awareness, giving a me an insight into how often a Turkmenistani girl thinks her boyfriend should visit.
It appears that she thinks her boyfriend should visit ‘all the time’. It is no-coincidence that the word ‘sub-let’ does not exist in Turkmen, where the shadow of socialism still means people can live for free anywhere they want. It seems.
