Re: Is car insurance racist?

If there’s no ethnicity data behind the claims base how can it be racist? Or am I being very naive? Could insurers be loading premiums on certain streets / areas based on data sourced elsewhere which does have ethnicity information? I think they would have to go to some effort to make it racist, so...

Re: Is car insurance racist?

A lot of it is bollocks, I think there should be a far greater right to privacy. Have a British driving licence then leave it at that. What does it matter if you have kids or not, own or rent a house, or what your specific job is. Yes you can pull statistics out your arse all day and find infinite ...

Re: Collecting cars

Yeah, love it, listen to it in the car too. Neil Clifford is definitely the best part of it though, legend.

Re: 6 Nations

I didn't catch that in commentary, but you've been able be in the air over the line for as long as I can remember. Usually hitting the flag means you're in touch, did he hit the flag first before grounding or something?

Either way, sounds like they cheated... I demand an immediate rematch.

Re: 6 Nations

Well deserved win for Scotland. The Scotland vs Ireland game probably should have been the grandslam game, unfortunately it's Ireland's championship at a canter.

Re: 6 Nations

expect to be home, hammered and wrong by 8pm :lol: Let's hope so. Watching the first game in the pub with an Irishman, then going home for the second game, mainly because last round my daughter showed and interest in it and has been asking about it since. Inevitably she's not going to be interested...

Re: Which?

Looks like I'm one of two who would take the coin toss. You're looking at the difference between a nice house, vs never working again and your children never having to work either, if invested properly. That's worth a shot for me. Fuck that - my child can work and learn the value of £ :lol: Honestl...

Re: Which?

This. £100k or a 50/50 on £1m is a more difficult question.. Agreed. I'm not sure what I'd choose! Probably still the £100k, I'm not much of a gambler.:lol: I'll need to start a new thread for you Duncs with options of £100 vs a 50/50 on £1000. ;) :D No, I'd gamble for £100k vs a guaranteed £10k.

Re: Which?

Jobbo is correct. I like my life, £1m would really enhance it without fundamentally changing it. Assuming you win the £10m, everything changes, and it could go both ways in terms of happiness IMO.

Re: The House Projects Thread

Then I started looking near my parents in Cornwall and found a lovely place in Marazion with views of St. Michael's Mount - for about the same price as our 30's semi in S.

Re: Smart Thermostats

I've got a pretty good idea how it should look inside the JB, so I'll open it up and see. If it's too confusing I'll give up.

Re: Smart Thermostats

Ah, a bit of research tells me that the switching needs to go through the valve first. That's annoying, so I've got to get up to that JB, which is buried under some panels. :(
