It wasn't even 9-10k, it was £7,100 and I'd never really considered like that. Applying your logic its roughly 6.5/1 chance in the first 3 years and 4.75/1 in the first 5 years. I never took insurance out and looking at those numbers I'm very glad I didn't!

It’s got 1-1 written all over it

Had the phone call earlier this week and yesterday collected a rather stunning Datejust 41mm Bright Blue. Mappin & Webb tried to sell me their accidental insurance payable in a lump sum, £1100 for 3 years or £1500 for 5 years. Does anyone have any insurance recommendations? I’m sure their...

Anyone else using sky sports+ and the stream being awful? Stop start every minute or so

Poland is my guess

Yes that’s our route too, the ICE at 11:06. I’m going via Amsterdam for all knockouts providing they are around the Gelsenkirchen area. Oh the ease of European train travel.

What’s the Home Secretary doing with a red hanky in his suit?

I’m really starting to get rather excited for this. Flying out to Amsterdam and jumping on a train to Gelsenkirchen on Sunday morning for England’s opener. With Mitrovic likely starting for Serbia I’m actually hoping Dunk won’t feature.

You can get repair kits that work pretty well if you don't want to buy another. Mrs decided to do me a HUGE favour a few years ago and try and mow the lawn whilst I was at work... except she sliced straight through the cable. Took me 15 minutes to repair and its still going strong 4 years later...

Thanks very much
