A few photos

Sorry Steve, I decided to copy you and Ive opened a flickr accout. The only camera I have at the minute is the Olympus mju 725sw, The prints arent bad from it though!! I've been harping on about getting a DSLR for yonks, but havent managed it yet. Im thinking of buying a Kayak aswell and can't decide between the two. Anyway check out the few snaps I have Here

Mobile TV trial

Just got my hands on this. Its the Nokia N92 handset and I have it because of a tv trial here in O2. The TV trial uses DVBH .Its pretty cool I think O2 have about 12 channels at the minute as well as a couple of Interactive channels. The Handset is quite large and very heavy. Anyway Im off to play with it. Will have feedback soon.

Insurance companies are chancers!

Man do I feel great today.

Heres the details:
Im 23, Full licence for 4 years, driving for 6 years
No Claims, no points.

Girlfriend:
20, Provisional licence for <1 year

Car:
1.3 Toyota Corolla, 1995, 4 door, no modifications (apart from furry dice) :P

Last year my policy cost ~ €960 with AXA (first policy in my own name)
Put my girlfriend on as a named driver around Oct/Nov, policy went up to ~ €1200

This year renewal for €1014.55 (AXA):

Rang around for different quotes as follows (all fully comprehensive):

Hibernian: €848
Eagle star: systems were down when I called them.
AA: €654.89
Quinn direct: €734

So I called AXA and mentioned that I had got a better quote from the AA, and just like that, she dropped the price to €660 so I told her the AA was €654 so she said..... fine €650. The deal was done!!!!! The reason I went fully comp was there was only ever about €50 squid in the difference

Saved myself almost €400 snots (tax which is also due end of month!)
Happy days
