    Serious question, I'll say why later - how much is your home insurance? Mine is based on a simple 3 bed semi + contents.

    Made to measure shirts.

    I have a lot of trouble buying work shirts. To borrow a phrase from Quadrophenia most shirts with a 17.5" neck are ****ing rent-a-tents and I am reasonably slim in an extra-medium kind of fashion. I am considering getting some shirts made to measure and there a few online companies offering...

  10. Occupy London

    I was quite impressed by the number of tents outside St Paul's this morning but is anyone else puzzled as to why the main event was scheduled for a Saturday?
  11. Thanks from Saturday

    If you are reading this, to whoever handed in a red train pass holder after the Burton game on Saturday, thanks a lot. The fact that all the contents including money and a bank card were still in place was a highlight on an otherwise miserable day.

    Question Insurance Renewal Quotes...

    This baffles me a little and wondered if anyone could shed any light on it... I got my home contents renewal from Direct Line telling me that my premium had gone up from £32 to £55 (no claims, nothings changed etc).
