Insurance companies. We have never claimed on our house insurance in over 20 years but earlier this year my wife lost a diamond out of one of her rings so I called them to ask if it was covered. The guy knew straightaway that it wasn't covered and checked the policy to make sure and confirmed it to me. Fast forward 6 months and on our renewal we now have 0 years NCB!!

They're trying it on m8. Unless you complete a claim form you ain't made a claim surely?

Like 5live at Wimbledon on Day1. One presenter saying everyone should come for the fantastic experience. She applauded the set-up. 'Cannot believe you don't even have to queue at the ladies toilets (not that I ever do, anywhere!) here'. Almost immediately people from the scummy seats text in claiming 1/2-3/4hr queue down there lol

This has caused us major headaches but is now resolved as 6 months on from the initial phone call they have now accepted that the ring is covered under accidental damage and it will be fixed even though our insurance had run out. The problem we had was that they had put on our records in a database that all insurance companies use that we had a claim for accidental damage with a payout of £0 and some insurance companies don't recognise it as a claim when there is no payout, if what we put as our claims history didn't match the database we could have our insurance subsequently cancelled. They agreed to a claim on the day I was taking out new insurance and I had to speak to our new insurance company saying we have a claim from January that has only started to go through today but we don't know how much it is going to be settled for and they were fine using an estimate for the repair that we had from January. The whole thing is now in the hands of the financial ombudsman.

Big fingers - no glasses i m back now - i just followed another biker on a train 4 before i was due to go and the old bat looked at his ticket then waved me through - result except that the M25 was shut at Reigate which led to most of South West London being gridlocked

Sorted the coverage by using the phone as a wireless hotspot and used my ipod to use the Tune in radio app - was great until my battery ran out on the phone

People who want to overtake you and sit right up your arse half way over the white line ready for a gap in the oncoming traffic but really want you to drive faster, or so it feels .

Slow down to a nice slow pace and then just drift to the other lane when theres a space so they cant overtake.

People who drive with their kids not wearing seatbelts. Usually the ones where you see the kids stood up looking out of the back window.

It's a lot rarer now but still see it sometimes. Baffles me.

People who get to work an hour and a half early every day but make a point of telling everybody they haven't started yet if a phone rings or somebody asks them something.

What's the point?

Even if they get there early & DO something - they usually make sure everyone knows about it...like they expect some kind of badge of honour, a bigger pay rise, a promotion or extra respect for being a fuckwit driving down their own hourly rate & letting work take over their social lives!

People who can't be arsed to look after their dog. One got into my back garden yesterday and killed my cat. It took my neighbour pulling at the dog and me kicking it in the face for it to let the cat go and even then it took a lot of hefty boots. I've never seen such brute force, if it had gone into a garden with a kid playing it would have killed them without a doubt.

Yeah, called 101. Police were very good and pointed out that now it's definitely got the taste for blood then children are at danger.

I just can't believe the force of the thing, absolutely brutal. Poor cat hung on for 10 minutes slowly dying from shock. I'm not really a cat person but it was horrible to see.

I don't really like cats but anything like that is horrible.

Will they send an inspector round? Might be worth a call to the RSCPA if it isn't being looked after too.

Police said they would send a dog team around to see if they can track it down. I've no idea who the owners are, it didn't have a collar but was in tip top shape so definitely belongs to someone. I did try RSPCA yesterday but the 3 or 4 numbers we called all had exceptionally high use and we couldn't get through. The dog will certainly be noticeable if spotted as the cat clawed one of its ears to pieces.

What sort of dog was it?

Oh I thought you knew the owner but realised your neighbour was helping. If they can find it and the owner hasn't been making sure it's contained they can probably do something about it and hope they do.

I have dogs and that sort of thing pisses me off as people then tar all dog owners with the same brush.

Used to work with people like that, I'd call them the Breakfast Club. They used to come in and toss about eating breakfast for half an hour or more. Funnily they seemed to count it towards their working hours for the purpose of flexi time.

Sorry to hear about your cat, poor thing.

I definitely think that mandatory licensing is required for owning a dog, they are potentially a lethal weapon. All dogs should be micro-chipped and traceable.

Agree with chipping and maybe even GPS once technology allows, I thought that was the law now though to have them chipped?

Whether they are kept up to date is another thing.

Have no issues with some sort of basic checks before being able to own one, not sure how enforceable it is though.

Like everything else it costs money but it's for the wellbeing of both the public and animals. I hate the Tories' (and Labour previously) reliance on charities like the RSPCA, these are important services which should get public funding.

Sorry to hear about your cat, Craig. I get anxious when ours (hasn't been with us that long) comes in having been beaten up by the local tabby! Must have been terrible to witness.

The problem with microchips is that they are only any good when you get hold of them (as when your cat goes walkabout for days at a time). GPS-trackable implants must be available now, i'd have thought.

Owning a dog properly will cost money though.

When you rescue one from somewhere properly they come out and check your house and everything, have it's balls off and make sure it's chipped. In an ideal world 99% of people buying dogs would have to go through that process but with so many backyard breeders banging mongrels out for a tenner down the pub it's not going to happen.

Agree about the RSPCA, they should be funded properly to be able to "police" animals.
