Getting stiffed over $7000 income protection because I had the foresight to take out my own policy.

Having a shower with my foot in a plastic bag. The best analogy for the use of condoms I've ever heard!

Quite bad but we're putting it down to experience.

Who advised you to take out that policy, mate, can you put in a complaint? When you say you were stiffed out of 7 grand, is that the difference between a state subsidised and private cover, or did you get ripped off by the company who you took out the policy with?

I took out my own personal cover when we arrived in Perth. I forgot I even had it. My company has their own policy which is quite good until you read the small print. They will pay out but "less other insurers". They cocked up and were paying me out at the full rate. My personal one has paid me out. I thought it was strange but I was told I was entitled to both. Now my company's insurance company want money back.
Good job I only spent it in my head!

Bloody hell, as you say it's a good job you haven't spent it.

only ever done it with my hand in a bag. not great is it? water finds a way, and even if you've got elastic bands tightly round it, you still get condensation.

that's sh**e news. particularly when you've been told you're entitled to both. To be fair I was only told by my own personal insurer that I was entitled to both. I don't think they had a clue what was written in the other t&cs. To confuse things further I'm also insured through the football club. All the forms have been filled in, they've agreed 'in principle' to my claim, the amount has been knocked off my payments from work and after 13 weeks I still haven't received a penny. Gotta love insurance companies.

mmm. quick to collect, a little more evasive when it comes to paying out.

Note to Adidas: So stop badging them up as Adidas Los Angeles, because I've seen better copies of Adidas originals on Ashton Market! Instead, why not make them exactly the same? If not, can you please make some more of these: ............instead of deliberately making limited runs of them, encouraging every ebay seller in the country to buy up all the stock and flog them for twice the f*****g price!! RIP Adidas, you used to be cool, what went wrong? Tw**s

Do you remember the Adidas Montreal's or the original Samba suedes? They were great shoes

Montreal?! Don't you swear at me, Fudgie! Seriously though, the Montreal were a bit too bland for me. The Samba suedes were good, excellent 5-a-side trainers those, superb in fact. Those Kegler Super are fantastic trainers, mate, I managed to get a pair a couple of years ago, and I only wear them now and again to keep them in good condition. They were the last pair in my size anywhere in the North West, I rang everywhere for a pair and finally found some in Liverpool City Centre. They really are as rare as rocking horse sh**. I just wish Adidas would make them all the time, instead of drip feeding 'limited editions' every now and then, and the only time I ever see them online is when they've just bloody sold out!
