Re: Car insurance costs

Fair comment for sure, that's what I get for posting quickly :)
I'll dig out the specifics for fair comparison though I was guided by the insurance guy for what was typical cover.

Re: UK student loans

Used to be that if you stayed out until you were 55 then they wrote it off... Things may well have changed though

Re: Quiet this morning..

Ha! We used to get the same thing in the UK. We had a colony of sparrows living in the hedge in the back garden and they were noisy buggers most of the time in a good way. Living in St Albans we had...

Re: Super Bowl 2015

Pats look fairly unstoppable to me. I hate to say that as all the locals will be unbearable but it might be nice to be sucked up in the atmosphere. Closest I'll get to it as a Bears fan for a few...

Re: 'Ordanance Survey' maps???

Cracking info as usual, thanks! I'll chase all those down.

Re: 'Ordanance Survey' maps???

Yup have smart phone - there's a myriad of apps and I'm a bit nervous of the content in case I end up somewhere I shouldn't be and get mistaken for a deer! :)

Got a recommendation?

Re: maybe its an age thing but there seems so much red tape!

Yup, just done it. Tick the box on the form and sign it. No other proof requested.

'Ordanance Survey' maps???

Ok so I'm guessing that someone here may have the simple answer to this... Is there an analogue to British OS maps in the US? If so where can I get my hands on them?

Re: Let's talk about cars

Unsure which one is the most practical daily drive there... Probably the batmobile, it's lighter and more nimble :)

Re: So, what did you guys do for New Years?

Pretty boring, nipped out for a few drinks and some food at a local bar/restaurant thingie and then came back to see the new year in. Pretty sure we were in bed before midnight in the end though.
