[QUOTE=Win A Rabbit;15962622]i'm just starting to get bored/fed up with it.

most of the time it's awesome, but every now and then it's just dealing with the stupidest stuff over and over. and the stupid stuff has been coming up way more and way stupider lately, starting to get lame.[/QUOTE]

I feel the same about my job. My resignation goes in on Monday afternoon. Can't wait.

[QUOTE=fishbulb;15961965]Ok cool but just don't get your hopes up since i'm not all that great of a drummer and my recording quality is just a hair above mediocre.[/QUOTE]

If your mediocre then you'll fit right in with every other musician I've ever worked with.

Retarded Chipple 02-10-2008 06:42 AM

Hey guys.

I auditioned for that punk band yesterday...and they've asked me back next week :)


Looks like I could be touring Europe this year and possibly America!

I ****in hate UK car insurance. I seriously fail to understand how they can charge me £2800 per year for a £50 car on the cheapest insurance possible.

What car is it?


Insurance is wank, I'd love to find out how they calculate it all out.

Because you're 17, and will thus inevitably crash and cause the deaths of thousands.
Higher risk, so higher premiums.

Insurance over here works out much better. A car is insured for ANYONE driving it, so you could insure a Ferrari at 18, and it would be no different to insuring it at 50, with 25 years of no-claims.

The Mites 02-10-2008 07:23 AM

Pretty much any car. Even a four door smart car. Or even a two door. Even the most immasculating car, will still cost me circa £3k to insure each year, just in case an accident MIGHT happen.

Statistically, i'm incredibly dangerous because i'm soon to turn 18 and I have a penis.

Smarts cost a packet on insurance because they are a high theft risk and (particularly the 2 door non coupe) are a long way from being safe.

For your first car you (unless you're loaded) gotta go for the smallest engine, from the most undesirable manufacturer with the lowest trim level.


Who are you trying to get insurance from?
The big commercial names that are always on the tele are often the most expensive. Try Autotrader.co.uk, one of the cheapest for young drivers.

oliv_da_skinmasher 02-10-2008 07:37 AM

J it's your age. Thats how it goes unfortunately.

I mean I payed 2000 to insure my van last year. and its a van of all things

Just cos your driving a £50 car doesn't mean you will only ever crash into £50 cars. =-/

Charlie Daniels 02-10-2008 08:03 AM

I didn't insure my first car and that was a $8000 car and that ended up having a head on with a truck (whom was never caught) and thus I lost it all =-/

oliv_da_skinmasher 02-10-2008 08:04 AM

Yeah man. The insurance is worth it 99% of the time.

Charlie Daniels 02-10-2008 08:09 AM

hmm no I'd say most of the time it isn't worth it, because obviously the total amount of money paid to insurance companies is considerably more than the amount paid out by them.

But for some people they buy one policy for a couple of grand and end up doing a million dollars worth of damage and well they are laughing.

oliv_da_skinmasher 02-10-2008 08:11 AM

Ah but its illegal and you can loose your licence for drivin without it lol

Panopticon 02-10-2008 08:13 AM
