Fixed that for you

Same here.
To quote a familiar person.
"I forking despair. I really do"

the of course cost a bit, but they also "gives back" due to turism that wants to see the oldest monarchy. Jep the oldest monarchy is here in denmark. 
there has been discussion and rugaulary still is about wether you should still have monarchy. I personally is fine with both. as long as a financial balance is still kept. 

but I also think we differently have the coolest crown prince and princess

Car insurance companies.

I've just bought a new car / van, right? I pick it up on Monday, so I decided to take advantange of Ford Insure's 7 day free commercial vehicle insurance cover note. (Dunno why, I just did.)

Har bloody har har...

I forgot that because I work in the vast umbrella term of 'Media', I am uninsurable.

'Media' means two things for car insurers: either I shove half a ton of cocaine up my nose for breakfast, lunch and dinner and then drive at 120mph up the motorway every day, or heavens forbid! I might work with Famous People and *gasp* MIGHT RUN THEM OVER!!!!

So they refused me any insurance beyond a measly day so that the car dealership can tax the damned vehicle. I kid ye not.

So for all the terminally STUPID car insurers out there:

1. I am a video editor/sound engineer. I sit behing a desk and swear at computers all day. My vehicle remains outside the whole time. I have never once driven any car I've owned into an edit suite or studio. Clients take offense at tyre tracks up the stair carpet, I find.
2. When I change into my Location Sound Engineer hat, I have professional insurances up to my bloody eyeballs and back, just incase I decide to wallop David Beckham (Ford Insure's example) round the head with a boom pole. Yes, while it's tempting to do so, no, I wouldn't. I like my boom pole, it's a nice boom pole, I don't want to damage it. Again, my car will not be parked in the middle of the set. That tends to annoy Directors and Cameramen.
3. Since I got my (still clean) driver's license (and therefore my private car insurance) in 2000, I have had NO accidents and NO criminal convictions for shoving half a ton of cocaine up my nose for breakfast, lunch and dinner and then driving at 120mph up the f***ing motorway!! Mainly because I don't, and never will do, either!!
4. I have been working in Media for 20 years - and I PROMISE you that any Famous Person who I have ever worked with has ... *another gasp* ... SURVIVED!!!

Idiots.

>:-(

So I called my private car insurance and they were more like: "Ooh! You've bought a little van! When do you pick it up? Isn't it exciting?? What makes it a 'sport' van? Wow!! How cool!!" ... and promptly insured me on the spot. No hassle.

With them, I have my profession listed as 'Engineer', which is true because when I took my insurance out in 2000, I was mainly a Sound Engineer. All my qualifications are in sound engineering and if anyone starts to quibble, I'll start mentioning things like hysterisis loops, Sabin's formula (RT60 anyone?), balanced vs. unbalanced wiring, frequency shift keying (for the Old Skool among you), SMPTE, AES/EBU, PAL vs. NTSC, HD, 4k, ohms, impedence, the different bias figures for Ampex 456 vs. 499 tape (showing my age here), 1001 practical uses for gaffer tape, whatever-else-you-bloody-like, etc, etc, bloody etc.

Grrrrrrrrrr!!!

Rant over.

ahhhh s*** B13. that insurance company doesn´t sound like anything you would want to be with anyway. I hate stupid rules that makes no sense.

when I got my driver license I got a restriction on in for 2 years, because I was taking sleeping pills at that time. and those can make you ........sleepy. well that the whole point of them right!
1) I toke sleeping pills because I could´t, well sleep. so it´s not like I´m gonna fall asleep  while driving, like other stupid idiot!!! 
2) I toke them when I wanted to go to bed NOT when I wanted to go out for a ride!
3) yes, you can be a bit sleepy the day after, but anyhow if you are tired you shouldn´t drive, no matter the reason!

sometimes things doesn´t make a lot of sense.
