1st Quote

Advantages: Cheap
Disadvantages: Website a bit stringy

...I have always had so much trouble with car insurance; I haven't got any 'no claims bonus' because every time it gets near to me having nearly a year worth something always happens!! I'm also young so car insurance is not the cheapest thing in the world for me. So, when my car broke for good (ford fiesta) I was relieved, as it was costing me so much money. But then, I live a few miles from all of my friends, and I was becoming so reliant on them all that on Wednesday one of my male friends gave me a Ford Ka and said I could have it. I was pleased at first, then I realised I needed to insure it and started thinking maybe I should give it back. I looked onto money supermarket for insurance quotes and I was pleasantly supposed at how cheap they were on the KA that I was given, and me being a year older than the last tie I insured a car...

Review of 1st Quote

1st Quote but not my 1st Choice

Advantages: Fairly competitive, monthly payments to suit many
Disadvantages: Non existent customer care, ignorant staff, management

...No beating about the bush here. This company is possibly one of the worst insurance companies going. You may think this unfair, but I have had the dubious pleasure of working for them. The company has just one aim - to make money. Customer service and satisfaction do not come into it at all. They want your money, and will tell you what you want to hear to make you part with it. OK, their quotes may be cheaper than a lot of others and this is fine, until you have to make a claim. There were, when I left, 5 people working in the claims department. 5 people to service a client base of several thousand. Is it any wonder you wait for months to get repairs authorised and claims settled? The quotes staff are little better, in the motor department there are around forty staff members all trying to reach target figures, and be the best...

Daniel Craig in 'Quotes'!

Advantages: Some good information, easy to read
Disadvantages: Way to much info on each of his films, too many quotes

...This is not a book which I would have gone out of my way to buy but hubby spotted this in a shop a he knows how I enjoy reading biographies so he decided to treat me. When he bought it home I was of course grateful but a bit dubious as to whether I would enjoy it or not but on looking at the back cover of the book I was hooked as there is a lovely big picture of Daniel in his famous Bond swimming trunks coming out of the sea, (yes that is very shallow of me, forgive me I am only human!) The book has been written by Sarah Marshall not by Daniel himself so most of the book is made up of quotes from both Daniel and his friends. The book starts off with a short chapter about his upbringing and how he decided he wanted to be an actor. I would have liked to have learnt more about his childhood and how he found school and what really turned...

Quotable Quotes

Advantages: Can make you sound clever
Disadvantages: Too many to remember

...- Shared joy is double joy and shared sorrow is half sorrow. Now I like to think this refers to friends and relations. If you have somebody to share your joy and sorrow with you are a very rich person. 4 - The fun of being human is that we're not all the same. Said by Sir Ian Mckellen This is very true and even in this small part of the web world everyone has such different views and interesting stories to tell. We also taste things differently as you can tell from the recipes and food reviews. 5 - Map out your future but do it in pencil said by Jon Bon Jovi This is an interesting quote and I think it is a very good one. Always leave some room in your life for change. None of us know what the future may hold so just go as far as Europe for now with your map. 6 - No one decides to be a comedian. It is the audience that...

Review of Top 10 Quotations

Quote, unquote.....

Advantages: May make you laugh
Disadvantages: on the flip side, it may make you cry

...There is no particular rhyme or reason to my choices, they are just pieces that I have picked up from my 20-odd years mooching about on this planet (some of them odder than others) Most are chosen because they appeal to my particular sense of humour or strike me as being an unassailable universal truth..... Willie Rushdon --------------------- A valuable piece of advice from Willie Rushdon as told by Barry Cryer on the 'That Reminds Me' radio show, which went out on Radio7 last Wednesday: "Never use a dentist with blood in his hair" You can't really argue with that one especially as it comes from a man that described John Major as a man who thought that Charisma happened on December 25th every year. Noel Coward ------------------ No litany of quotes would be complete without the words of a Coward, Noel Coward; "I...

Policy Documents Long Time in Arriving

Advantages: Very Competive Quote
Disadvantages: Lack of Response

...I got a quote for buildings and contents cover from 1st Quote, over the internet, and it was very competitive, therefore I decided to take the cover. Although one week after selecting the cover and paying a deposit I have still not received my policy documents. In this week I have rung them twice and emailed them, I've asked for a cover note to be faxed which I have not yet received. The email has not been responeded to! The phone calls resulted in nothing so far although I have been told on both occasions that the policy is in the post. What I have received is credit agreement, but no policy agreement. I will add updates about this situation as it progresses. I have now received a fax copy of the policy and have been told the hard copy will follow by registered post. This was after been called by the accounts department...

Cracking Quotes

Advantages: Fast, easy to understand, good quotes, secure and reliable
Disadvantages: If you require human interaction this may not be for you!

...Having experienced Insurance Express (see other op!) this year we decided that nothing on earth would make us go back with them, even if it meant having a higher quote off someone else! (They were that bad folks)... Started shopping around a month before the insurance was due which was 9th June. We had never bought insurance on-line before. About the same time all the insurance companies (or so it seemed) suddenly realised that Dave's insurance was about to expire and I was bombarded with flyers offering discounted this, that and the other - free no claims stuff - Oh my, gone all faint thinking about it!!! They do go on a bit! Time was getting short and the leading companies - Direct Line, Churchill, etc. couldn't get a quote low enough that was anything like we had previously paid. Enter the Egg!!! I have accounts with Egg...

More movie quotes

Advantages: They bring back some great memories
Disadvantages: Some of them are memories that were very hard to bring back!

...I'm fed-up. Been working my hairy ginger arse for the past couple of weeks trying to get the introduction to my PhD thesis written, and so far I've got a grand total of 8 pages. Out of 80. Oh joy. So in order to try and break up the constant tedium that I am currently undergoing, I thought I would revisit the topic of my last op, as it seemed to be quite popular. Thanks to all of you who dropped me a comment on your favourite movie quotes - I'll use some of them here. ****parental advisory - unblanked sweary words!**** Right, off we go...... VIN DIESEL IS KING: "I absolutely believe in God - and I absolutely hate the fucker!" (Pitch Black) "Did NOT know who it was fucking with!" (Pitch Black) "I live my life a quarter-mile at a time."
