Because as you know i`m not somebody who is against chancing his arm , or for that matter both testicles
Yesterday i made an attempt to Bull my mothers house insurance provider (Spoke to a nice Indian man with an accent so thick you could have ladled it onto a plate and eaten with rice
) and tried to claim dosh for a dying on it's arse laptop. By saying the laptop was her`s and she'd dropped it
Almost would have worked except the sods wanted it to see if it could be repaired , and if it couldn`t they weren`t going to hand me ma a cheque (So she could pay it in then write one to me
) . No they were going to send a Toshiba Satellite Pro A120 in exchange, despite the fact the laptop that`s dying on it's arse is worth nearly twice as much.
Know what you`re thinking . " Don`t be a dummy,why not take that new laptop and try to sell it" right .
You`re thinking "Hmmm the Toshiba Satellite Pro A120 , a well designed piece of kit"
Nope , more like a designed to fail just after the warranty (If you`re lucky) heap of shit !
But then it is fitted with the worst most temperamental (But cheapest) component in existent the Matshita DVD-RAM UJ-841S.
At most maybe i could get a £100 , but for that i`d have to jump through hoops and sacrifice my current laptop which has a " Borrowed" Microsoft word package on it that`s worth more than £190 right there .
Since the sods wouldn`t return the laptop if i sent it to them
Why
My mothers been with Norwich Union (Now Aviva) for years and never claimed a thing , and the one time -Cough- she wants to claim they offer -Cough- her a worthless heap of shite
The buggers also do life insurance
What are the odds with that policy once you snuff it they just send round a bag of lime , nose plugs and a shovel
