  1. I know this is not a new gripe but...Car Insurance renewal is so infuriating. 20% up on last year, Apply as new customer and it's 20% less as is every other company. Discount for staying is only 5%. Every year we have to waste so much time applying to be "new" customers for different companies. Why?????

  2. The verses have a unique, jazz-influenced chord progression:
    Dsus2, D6add9 (or Esus2/D), D minor major 7, and G/D. The tonic of D, 
    alternating with the dominant, A, is sustained on bass guitar as a pedal point throughout the verses. 
    The D6 with an added 9th is not unlike an Esus2 with a D in the bass, but because the bass line also provides the
    fifth, it is more accurately described as a kind of D chord. The D minor chord with a major seventh is a rarity in
    1970s rock music. There is also a secondary sequence, louder, with thick vocal harmonies, with a progression 
    of B minor, A major, G major seventh suspended second, commonly written as "Gmaj7sus2" (enharmonic to the slash chord D/G), 
    and C major. This progression is played twice between each verse, and is not unlike a chorus, except that
    the lyrics are different with each repeat.

      Ah, but did they have a secret chord that they could play to please the Lord.

      Because so many don't bother shopping around.  It's the second year and beyond that they make their money from you.  A bit like the freebies you get when first subscribing to a magazine.

  6. Just caught an advert for a new film. Apparently it is 'The Best Film of the Year'. Given we are only in January, it probably doesn't have a lot of competition thus far...

      I'm puzzled. People have made a conscious decision not to eat meat/animal products. Why then, make an effort to make food look like meat?

      "I'll do those dishes, dear" is a bold and imaginative statement in itself.
