all u need 2 do is drive down the M62 and let a telegraph pole come of the back of a wagon and let it spin through the air and crash through your window..

Providing you dont die, your well in!

well, first thing i'd do is chuck that guitar out of the window, that might smash someones and they could claim too. lol only kidding, great news that u a have had some luck, so many times claims never get paid, mines ongoing and i doubt i'll get a bean, well maybe a bean but not much cash

Come april next year mine will be 4yrs and counting and still not sorted, and cant see it being settled by then

But the final figure will have a few more numbers on when it finally comes thru anyway

But, gonna be sensible and use it as a deposite on a house methinks rather than spunk it on a car, well thats the plan anyway

Very cool. Looks like an eastwood airline as used and famed by Jack White from the White Stripes. Apparently it wasn't worth very much at first but once he famed them the prices shot up, especially with the rarity as well. He seems to like them because of the raw and bassy sound, similar to why Kurt Cobain played low end guitars.

Toe Knee - I had my accident last December and got paid out in September this year, but my claim was straight forward.

Still waiting for my whiplash claim from when some dickhead in a BMW decided to try and drive _through_ my Cossie, like the guy must have been blind!

Anyway I can't wait, and yes big brakes are on the menu

Yea its done alot quicker if theres no complications, i was off work 2yrs then spent a year re-training in a different industry so im claiming loss of earning aswell as injury. Was offered 2500 first, then 7500 second time round, but now its all set towards going to court and once they see i aint gonna back out they'll realise im not fookin about, normally most will wait untill just before the court date and make a last offer so, they just need to hurry the fook up
