I dont know about there,, but here insurance companies never do anything legal

Except they collect you money as contract says,but when they should pay,they make own rules why they doesn't need to pay.

When I had an accident,, the guy hit me from behind. I had whiplash, and my car was concidered totaled.
When the insurance company investigated, they tried to meke it look like I intended to be hit, even after the police asertained that the guy that hit me was in the wrong.
The insurance comapny then dragged thier feet, and offered me 1100 dollars for my car since they found a wrecked one like it in a junk yard.
I fought it for nearly two years,, I finaly got an out of court settlement for 10 thousand.
Next thing I know, MY insurance company raised my rates by 25% a month.
 Turns out the guy who hit me was insured by a sister company to mine.

^^Shouldnt the money be going on repairs to himself and his car? Call me crazy....just thinkin....

the car was repaired as well.

Is that legal?

the insurance company insisted he claim , he wasn't that bothered.

its a big thing in the UK , where's there's blame there's a claim.

a hint of sarcasm I think. They are all crooks and make the rules up as they go along.

You know, this whole Obama Health Care bs that he is saying is for our own good is only going to help the insurance companies.
 Insurance companies have a license to pretty much print money as it is.
It wouldnt hurt my feelings if they all went tits up and died.

I SO want to slam you into the pavement for that post but Im supposed to stay positive. Its my new years resolution.......BUT!! No...not going to do it. I'll just mention your need to do alittle 2-sided research and get your head outta your ass. But that's a positive take on it. Im sure you have a very nice ass. 

[Robin-Graves]

Im sure you have a nice one too.
And I have done research,, and I think his,,well,,,,
I think you have a nice one too lmao.

I have done no research either way, I'm just going to wait for the Michael Moore documentary

My laptop nearly died earlier this month, he was still in warranty though and the man said it would have cost me about ?400 if I didn't have warranty.  They replaced the motherboard, USB thingies, DVD drive, the monitor cable and it's inverter.  Turns out they don't actually test any of the components, they just replaced everything I said was broken.

[Robin-Graves]

Yeah, and if it doesnt work after,, make them do it right.

I said, "Two-sided research" Michael Moore NEVER tells boths sides of the story.

[Robin-Graves]

And politicians do?

It would be nice if it DID work. Here I mean.
 Obama wants to charge us,, then us get private insurance too.
We pay too much in taxes as it is ( 15% of my paycheck is taxes).
Yeah, not as much as you guys in the UK,, BUT,, our prices are alot higher too.This is just going to make it harder for millions of people who cant afford to live on what they are taking home as it is.
 My mother who is disabled ( she has alot of things wrong I wont go into) cant even get on his health care thingie, and her insurance she has is being changed around so that she has to get supplemental insuronce she cant afford).
 The only people that can afford this mess, are those making 40k or more a year.
Alot of people outside larger cities dont make that much, contrary to popular opinion.
 The median income here in this part of the country ( the average person) is about 20k or less a year.Mostly less to tell the truth.
Id like to know where the news gets its information about income at.

i think my pc is poorly 

today it just wouldn't start 
all was ok until it got to the xp loading screen ( you know with the bar that moves across )
then it closed down and restarted.
after about 30 mins i tried every option going but all with the same result.

all of a sudden a chk disc screen appeared and now all ok.
well this morning is going to be back up everything i can find (just in case)

i've a inkling that it may be my graphic card because when the pc first starts up all of the bios is in the center of the screen    it is a pretty old card but i cannot think of anything else.

bugger
