Haven't really used the camera much lately, so thought I would take advantage of the good weather over the weekend and put the camera to good use. After climbing to the top of catbells in the Lake District took many shots to stitch together into this. View from Catbells by hglossop, on...

Quinn were in administration, but I think now they are fine. Always got horrifically high quotes from quinn anyway

When i was learning a couple of years ago we used collingwood learners to get short term insurance while i had a provisional license. If your son wishes to have his own car then things will be very expensive. If you just want him to be able to drive your car things can be a lot lot cheaper...

I would guess a pound of feathers would be heavier, marginally. Put a pound of feathers on scales and there will be air trapped in there, which weighs a small amount.

If there was £5 change from the £30 then the actual bill was £25. Each paid £9 which is £27 paid, the £25 for the bill and £2 the waiter kept, => £27

You were right upto this point, but if 1 man can complete the 1/3 in an entire day, then it would take 2 to complete the other 2/3 in an entire day, but it was done in half a day so 4 men needed, with another 4 to complete the 1/3 of the longer fence therefore 8 men needed.

Answer to question 2 is 8 i think

You don't even have to shop around to get a better deal, if you wanted to stay with the same insurer you can usually get a quote from their website, call them up and ask for that price for renewal. they just bump up their renewal prices because some people don't bother looking and just let it...

It must be almost every other car i drive past that has their front fog lights on, whatever the weather - is there something i am missing or does no one know how to use fog lights?

Usually if the car in front is slowing down but not braking it only requires taking your foot off the accelerator and your car will also slow down keeping roughly the same distance. But are we talking about someone just letting the car slow down or are we talking about someone who is...

Even if someone has some heavy engine braking happening you should be at a large enough distance and be conentrating enough to realise you are gaining upon them and slow down yourself. It is good for economy and general awareness to read the road ahead and predict when you will need to slow...

my general knowledge on things like geography is absolutely atrocious - to my girlfriends absolute horror when I tried that (Lufthansa was it?) game that appeared here recently where you had to click on the city.

Because he likely hasn't disclosed the modifications to his insurer (would make insurance more expensive) that would void the policy. Although the insurance company cannot waive its third party liability on an invalid policy, it could then make an indemnity claim against the policyholder to...

Needless to say i won't be ever buying a renault. Insurance is somewhat interesting, the scenic being insurance group 11 is significantly cheaper for me to insure than a small insurance group 1 car like a fiesta or corsa (wonder what the % of those involved in crashes). Its also a few hundred...

That would be the preferable option, but as a student i don't have the money to buy a car, but need a car for work placements. It wouldnt get anymore than £500 and would probably need to spend atleast £1-2k to get something better so is the cheapest option. Im just hoping it will last the 3...
