http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-northern-ireland-38975662 This is a weird one. A policeman was injured following the pursuit of a stolen car driven by an uninsured driver (obviously). The policeman is now claiming against the insurance of the owner of the stolen car. Not criticising the policeman as such as he may be seriously injured and have little choice....but I was unaware that your liability extended to an accident when you weren't driving. This is where you all jump in and say everyone knew that....but I didn't.
I suppose the car is insured rather than the driver, or something like that. Sounds a bit iffy definitely!
There's a thing called the insurance "ladder" or "trail" or something. Basically, the route is to exhaust everyone who might be liable before it goes to the MIB, the fund that covers uninsured losses. Guy had a motorbike. He sold it but didn't cancel the insurance as it only had a little while to run and he'd possibly be buying a new bike. The new owner crashed and killed himself a few days later. The new owner was uninsured, so the "ladder" or whatever meant that as it was still insured by the old owner, his insurance had to pay out. He faced prosecution for allowing an uninsured driver to ride his bike and faced being sued by his insurer for the payout. http://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/news/scottish-news/scots-biker-insurance-hell-after-4141840 An article on the subject is here: https://www.yourlegalfriend.com/media/blog/i-sold-my-motorbike--do-i-need-to-cancel-my-insurance/ So, don't forget, folks, cancel your insurance when you sell a vehicle. Vin
I would also recommend comprehensive insurance - not 3rd party. I had a beloved Opel Manta and thought fair enough if I'm at fault (and I never would be) I'd lose my beloved. But I was crashed into by a fleeing uninsured stolen Cortina. bye bye Manta. No payout. Still crying now
So, the premiership is the greatest / toughest league in the world? Since 2008 only Chelsea have won the Champions League. Since 2001 only Chelsea have won the Europa league. The standard is actually appalling. German teams can humiliate Arsenal. Small Dutch teams can beat Spurs and Spanish teams are way above the rest. The Premiership may attract the most successful Managers because of wages. The Premiership may attract the best of the mediocre players because of wages. A man who can't get in the team for an Italian club may be an instant hit for a mid table English team but all the great players have taken the cash and moved to Spain. We have a team of, let's say, average players and look pretty good in the Premiership and couldn't get out of the group stages in the Europa. I'm not sure what needs to change but something does. Southampton FC is just a stepping stone to something better in the Premiership and the Premiership is just a stepping stone to something better in Europe?
Put it this way. If I was still doing modding duties I'd have moved it and then told you. Just saying.
I read that as modelling duties. It is a massive assumption that you don't actually make a living strutting your stuff on the catwalk, however I thought it unlikely
Today is my last day with my current job. Waiting for UPS to collect my things! Start new job Monday. No chance of golf as way too busy handing over projects this last month! @davecg69
I'm welling up here. Just come across a poem written by my son when young. First line is: As a Mum, she's not that bad. No mother could expect a bigger accolade.
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/technolo...nstalled-near-dutch-schools-guide-smartphone/ A Dutch town has put lights at junctions near schools to stop smartphone obsessed kids stepping in front of cars....this is so wrong...it goes all against the laws of evolution. These people must not be allowed to breed.
Everywhere you go people have their noses stuck to their phones. I was at Southampton General the other day and the younger ones (up to 50 at a guess) couldn't put them down. They were called for appointments and you could see the panic because they might miss something on their phones. You could tell it wasn't because of the appointment because they look at their phones and it's the omg what do I do? Will I have to put it away? I feel like shouting "PEOPLE THERE IS A WORLD OUT THERE AND YOU'RE MISSING IT".
