    I wouldnt insure my house either if it wasn't a condition of my mortgage, i would pay off another mortgage instead!

    This makes me feel cheap. My life insurance is under 500 a year easy.

    I just did some math its acutally over 520 a year but would be under 550.

    They must recon you have good chance of not dieing:thumbup:

    I just reduced mine and the wifes cover to just clear mortgage and other debt and cover a decent Piss up and hole in the ground.

    Insurance is killing us literally.

    If your going through that much on a phone it could be worth it. I have never worried but I take better care of expensive items if I can.

    Just had a play with that app that ebf mentioned and it works with fresh maps. Pretty cool but I guess it would much the juice faster than cookie monster chewing down hash cookies.

    You are not supposed to through them at passing cars. There are rocks for that.

    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
    Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
    Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms
