    Enough about you, what do you look for in a lady?
    Haven't we been here before:

    Alive

    <5ft 4, pref <5ft 2

    Ginger

    Angry/psychotic/derranged/deluded

    Solvent and financially indepedent, but earns significantly less than you (although significant dowry welcome) and works in a different sector. Works shorter hours so dinner can be on the table when you get home.

    Likes cleaning, doesn't like you to help with the cleaning.

    Doesn't want babies or pets that live outside of a tank/cage (to clarify babies that live in tank/cage not acceptable).

    Doesn't require a constant barrage of telephone calls and texts to remind me that you haven't forgotten I exist when you're down the pub with your friends (where I actively encourage you to go to make it easier for me to clean the house).

    Likes misogynists.

    Don't think I've missed anything.
    I think....

    She'd have to be mad to get in mine! :rotfl:

    on the contrary, pitching the bar at 7 minutes significantly restricts my options. perhaps i should be more realistic and lower it to 30 seconds.

    I am so far distant from the ideal list that it is not really worth giving a point-by-point comparison.

    That's ok, GDB.
    We can't all be like me.

    I had similar. Got a renewal which was way too much imo. Did a comparison, & a) didn't know most of the companies, and b) recieved a telephone call almost immediately from the top one or two trying to talk me into taking out the cover!:eek:

    Lesson one.

    Do NOT put the correct telephone number into the comparison site.

    You need to give them a correct email address, and the home address has to be correct for a quote, but your telephone number is not necessary and will only be used to annoy you with spam calls.

    I had that .... as I was on the PC my dad got up to answer the call .... and as I was on the phone to the sales person all I could think was "FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCKKKK.... results said there were 95 companies!!!!" Only the one phoned me though.

    You'd think a 50 mile round trip for an MoT would be enough .... but as you're driving home in the courtesy car you suddenly realise .... it's 100 miles as you've got to go and pick it up again.

    I really should have found an alternative to using the dealer, but they phoned me up and I knew it all needed doing, so thought it best to just book in and be done with it for this year.
