Got an update from my hire car company — they’ve extended my hire by a week, citing “exceptional circumstances” (sure, and not the fact that no-one is hiring cars right now — so much that Hertz is filing for bankruptcy protection) It does mean I have one week to sort out a new car….

Car Update
Finally had some progress on chasing the final cheque for my old car. They say it’s now in the post and I should receive it within the next 48 hours. However it does mean I’m now within the final 7 days of my hire car and they will be contacting me within the next 7…
Car Update
Got a call from one of the showrooms I emailed during lockdown. They are now back at work and are following up on enquiries. They are not the closest, but still pretty close. I’ve scheduled an appointment with them for June to look at some cars and maybe test drive a few. I have a…
MCM Comic Con
Unfortunately, this has happened, and MCM Comic Con has been cancelled for the rest of the year. Birmingham was originally postponed from March, but I chose not to take their offer of rescheduling my tickets since the hotels were too expensive during that period. London also got postponed and I was originally going to consider…

When…

COVID-19, job cuts, pay cuts, redundancies, early termination of contractors, followed by my car getting wrecked, and being unable to test drive a new car due to showrooms being locked down, and now, my shower drains are blocked and…
Planet Zoo
I’ve been playing Magic the Gathering: Arena for a while, but since Ikoria came out, I’ve been consistently losing everything. The game no longer carries any fun so I’ve ditched that for something more relaxing and casual. Planet Zoo. It’s a game where you build and maintain a zoo and in Franchise mode you setup…
Car Choices
I’m now hunting for cars to buy after my old car got written off. I’m definitely going for a hybrid. My initial choice was Prius, but is around 20K GBP (~25K USD) new at best. Used is around 15K-20K GBP (~18K-~25K USD) Maybe I could go for a Yaris or Auris. Both have hybrid options,…
Insurance Claim Update
Well, I had to declare my car off road before it was picked up by the recyclers and I got a cheque in the post today from the DVLA to refund me part of the road tax for my old car. I also got a cheque from the other guy’s insurance company to cover their…
