This is the fastest and cheapest insurance I have seen. What I am paying for a year everyone wanted for 6 months. I am recommending you to everyone I know. You guys are great.

LIFE'S brilliant, isn't it? There you are bumping along the bottom, running on empty, just getting by, or however you want to phrase it, and suddenly . . . THWACK!
Another burst of the unexpected hits you round the back of the bonce.
Some things you just can't insure against. For some reason the insurance industry is on my mind this week . . . perhaps it's the never-ending pile of junk mail cascading through my letterbox.
It's car insurance renewal time, and in an off-guard moment I must have filled in my insurance renewal date on some survey or other, because every car insurance firm on earth is offering me special rates on this that and the other . . . until I actually ring them up.
When you say that you work for the media, suddenly all the special offers disappear.
Insurance companies are convinced that I spend my entire time with Madonna and Kylie in the back of my car, when I'm not partying with Amy Winehouse and Pete Doherty, of course. Bad insurance risk, me.
It's always worth checking the small print. I don't think they have: "This policy doesn't actually pay out anything ever" written on them, but there are loads of exclusions.
If you get drunk and fall over abroad, don't expect to get any money . . . intoxication will trigger a financial hangover as well as an actual one.
If you've been getting treatment for something before you go abroad, tell your insurers, otherwise if it flares up in a EUR10,000 emergency room, you'll be strapped for cash.
I wonder whether the bloke in Fife who made the news this week was insured.
He'd built a swimming pool in his back garden only to find a runaway bull in it one morning.
The bull, not being able to find a china shop, had picked on the pool as the next best thing, crashed through the fence and was last seen doing a leisurely crawl along the shallow end.
Let's hope there wasn't a "no bull" clause in his policy!
