Legal and general, ok as long as you're not ill!

Advantages: None
Disadvantages: Do not help when you need it most

...My husband became self-employed about 8 years ago and with the onset of him going it alone, this meant that we would loose the H.S.A. cover his employer gave him. A fellow IT contractor put my hubby in touch with this gentleman who arranges cover for fellow IT self-employed bods. Amongst all the other policies we took out to safeguard our future and that of my children, was one for private health care. We were told to go for LEGAL AND GENERAL ASSURANCE SOCIETY for their health care plan. This policy appeared to be family friendly and as long as you are not over 74 years of age, then they will give you cover. Legal and general have been around for more years than I care to remember so we thought yeah ok, we can trust them. We checked the website out, which is www.legal-and-general.co.uk and the company seemed quite genuine...

Legally Blond

Advantages: -
Disadvantages: -

...Legally Blond is a great and girly film starring Reese Witherspoon about a dumb blond Beverly Hills type girl who is obessed with pink and loves her doggy (a real steriotype rich blond) who gets dumped by her snobby boyfriend who is headed for law school, so she decides to follow and enroll and prove to him that she isnt just some dumb blond like he makes out. In this film you see Elle go from being a typical student serority girl and then making the transformation into a law student with a difference. This is a really funny film that has lots of famous actors in it including Reese Witherspoon, Matthew Davis, Luke Wilson and Selma Blair. I thought that this was a great girly comedy for a night in and a film that proves that blonds are no dumber than the rest of us. Its defiantly worth a watch, especially one for the girls...

Bridge that gap with Gap Motor Insurance!

Advantages: Peace of mind, security.
Disadvantages: A bit of extra expense.

...Motor Insurance! We are bombarded with adverts and offers about it from all sides - T.V., newspapers, magazines, e-mail and snail mail! Do we need it? Of course! Apart from it being a legal requirement, often our cars are the biggest investments in our lives after a house. We need to protect the money we pour into them against that unfortunate day when we have an accident or even worse for some, when you come out of the shops laden with shopping to discover that your trusty steed is not where you parked it, it`s been nicked! In the worst case scenario, your vehicle is a write-off or is unrecoverable and the insurance company decide, eventually to pay you with a big fat cheque. Oops, they say, we know that you bought the car new only a couple of months ago and that it cost £18,000 but you only get the current market value...

Its legal already!

Advantages: Its there if you need it
Disadvantages: drugs

...'m concerned it's patronising to say they aren't capable of choice. The idea that British guys wouldn't have noticed the chains, or, indeed the girls not telling them about the chains, seems absurd. In fact many of the girls who make trafficking claims of abuse use the eventual arrest to try and secure green card immigration status in the U.K., so they can't be sent back to their country of origin under those human rights laws. There are even compensation payouts to girls who are proven to be trafficked. The loop-hole which allows the girls to claim they have been trafficked is likely to be closed down by the Home Secretary. It was the same again in Wales were 88 girls of legal age were taken into custody after coordinated raids by the police of which 76 "disappeared" from social services soon after. Where I do get angry is when kids from places...

Review of What is your opinion about legal prostitution?

Legally Bland

Advantages: None
Disadvantages: Too many to mention

...OK. I'll be honest with you from the start. I'm a bloke in my late 20's, into martial arts, beer and Nine Inch Nails (the band, not the things you buy at the ironmongers). So what was I doing watching what any self respecting male could only refer to as a chick-flick? well, you see, I have a wife... ...Yes, she made me watch this film, and I may never, ever forgive her... Don't get me wrong, I'm not against the chick-flick as a genre! I've also watched teen movies in the past that have had me nearly wetting my pants with mirth, but Legally Blonde just left me cold (and the wife wasn't impressed either!) A shame, as I have to admit that Reese Witherspoon absolutely acted her socks off, but just couldn't lift this dire movie out of the dung heap. So, how bad is it? Well, where shall I start? So very many options... Shall I...

Legally Blonde

Advantages: Funny
Disadvantages: None

...What do you do when you go out with your boyfriend and you think he’s going to pop the question and ask you to marry him but it turns out he dumps he dumps you? Well if you’re like me you’d probably cry, slob around in your worst clothes and eat nothing but chocolate all day for the next 3 months, but eventually you will get over it, but, if you’re Elle Woods, played by Reese Witherspoon in Legally Blonde you decide to follow him to Harvard and become a lawyer. This film is one for the girls, and if you’re blonde, or have ever been told you’re not good enough to do something then you will totally relate to Reese Witherspoon’s character. Elle Woods is from Beverly Hills and has the looks, figure, clothes, dog and boyfriend every girl wants to have, but when her boyfriend Warner Huntington...

Pet insurance

Advantages: Peace of mind
Disadvantages: none so far

...the best thing to do was have him castrated at the vets. After spending money on his injections when he was younger and worming tablets and his regular check ups at the vets, she decided to buy pet insurance. I have a car policy with Endsleigh and have been happy with them for a few years so we checked out the pet insurance with them. It?s a costly thing to have a dog as vet fees are not cheap. The castration of a dog costs £180 at our local vets, add this to the worming tablets, regular check ups of weight and health when they are growing up and their injections and your looking at more than £ 400. This is without including any ailments that they might have in their life to come. We bought a policy from Endsleigh for £112.09 a year. You may think this sounds a lot but it is broken down into monthly payments which can be paid by...

Swinton Car Insurance - Nice and Easy

Advantages: Price, Local Branch, Claims
Disadvantages: None so far

...debit to come out of your account. *Cheque- Swinton do still accept cheques, if this is the preferred method ask the advisor when you call what address to send the cheque too. What options do I have available? As you would expect Swinton offer a huge variety of products, But as this review is about insurance I will cover that. I am in particularly referring to car insurance, however they do offer other insurance too. Three options available for any customer to choose: Fully Comprehensive Third Party Fire and Theft - Covers you for the basis road traffic act as well as Fire and theft of your vehicle. Third Party Only ? This is the minimum requirement for any car to be on a public road. Fully Comprehensive I have a fully comprehensive policy with legal cover with Swinton but the actual policy is underwritten by...

Review of Swinton Insurance Services

This Blonde is Legal... and I can Prove it!

Advantages: Direction, Witherspoon, funny
Disadvantages: Basically still a one-joke movie (albeit a good one!)

...Legally Blonde is an essentially one-joke movie (a dizzy blonde making good in an environment where traditionally only smart people succeed), but it's written and directed with enough verve to make it work, not to mention the endearing performance of star Reese Witherspoon [Cruel Intentions, Sweet Home Alabama, Vanity Fair] as Elle Woods. Elle is a very blonde girl who lives up to every stereotype in existence, and at the start of the movie is expecting to be proposed to by boyfriend Warner (Matthew Davis [Pearl Harbour, Blue Crush, Heights). When she is dumped because, having got into Harvard Law School, he needs someone "serious", she decides to get into Harvard herself to win him back (despite the fact that academia is? to put it kindly? not her strong suit?) While there she meets Warner's frosty fiancé (he moves quickly) Vivian...

Competitive Insurance quotes

Advantages: Comprehensive cover gives maximum advantages
Disadvantages: None in terms of being covered

...I recently switched my car insurance to More Than after a search via confused.com. I originally wanted to switch because, well lets just say that my previous insurer did not "quote me happy," and after nearly 5 years with them, I felt it was wise to get the best for my money. More Than gave me a very competitive quote, and other benefits that I could just not refuse. Now I'm not suggesting that you steam in, and grab insurance from More than, it won't be everyone's cup of tea, but they certainly do offer good standard benefits to Joe public, who want piece of mind. They also offer optional extras at reasonable prices too. Standard benefits: They offer a lifetime guarantee on all paintwork and body repairs for Comprehensive cover. A courtesy car for comprehensive cover. A 24hr claims helpline. Immediate authorisation of repairs...
