  • urgh left ear feels like it's air locked, I can't hear properly with it and it's really distracting me, suggestions for a remedy please? #
  • @ellybabes nope I said I didn't want to drive it in a rental, need my own car for that or maybe a loaner Ferrari/Lambo in reply to ellybabes #
  • @trevhart @ellybabes @MainlyVoid oddly wearing over ear headphones for half an hour seems to have solved it :S #
  • car insurance companies, 11 years NCB and you don't want to quote me? corporate entities turn down free money, shocker :) #
  • but then I drive a civic Type R so I'm obviously a menace on the road, strange how better handling, brakes and crash avoidance are ignored #
  • I could buy a 20 year old 3 litre plus BMW capable of 160mph and insure it for a fraction of the cost despite the dangers of such an antique #
  • I just don't understand the logic #
  • @ellybabes eh no, but apperently there's a hack that allows you to run android on an iphone in reply to ellybabes #
  • .@ellybabes wouldn't make a difference on the only one that will quote and the others I've tried (so far) won't quote for my car, end of #
  • .@ellybabes tomorrow I'm going to see if any of them will quote me for a much older, lower ncap rated and much faster (175mph+) BMW #
  • I'm over my API limit all day having not posted a single thing! is this a twitter plot to get me to use the website? :) #
  • all bar 1 irish insurance company won't insure a honda type R yet I can insure an older BMW with more than double the BHP no problem, Why? #
  • a quick call to the Irish insurance federation and all of a sudden everyone wants to quote me :) #
  • Can't believe I'd have an easier time insuring a 4.3L V12 500+ BHP BMW, than a 2L, Straight 4, 200BHP Honda completely defies Logic #
  • still I think I finally know what my next car is going to be :D #
  • @regi sems to be the only explanation but most idiot chavs aren't in the 2nd half of their 30's with 11 years NCB, pure idiocy in reply to regi #
