Dublin Floods

OK, minutes silence is up :)

I wonder how the insurance will work out on this? Is the apartment block management partially or fully liable as the electric gates failed? It may be a long drawn out claim process?

Very long and drawn out I suspect. Are there disclaimers regarding "management not responsible for damage to cars parked... etc.?" They seem to be standard. I assume the car insurance, even comprehensive, won't cover a flood. Nasty situation. Still.... it's not a home or house furniture or personal belongings.

No, agreed, it's more important then that :)

I'm just amazed that jkeny knows somebody who drives a DB9. You're moving in elevated circles there, John...!

(Of course, I knew a girl in college -- yes, I said college -- who drove a DB7. She got it for her 21st.)

And you didn't marry her?

I remember being in the cinema for one of teh recent James Bond films, think it was Quantum of Solace.

Anyway theres a bit where James hops in to the DB to chase after the love interest. As he flies along over the top of a rise in the road, he suddenly sees her tied up on the middle of the road. He (stupidly) swerves to avoid her and rolls the DB9. Every fella in the cinema went "ooooaaaaahhhhh" at the same time, all agreed he should have chanced hitting her and not crash the car.....

I was shaken but not stirred!

At the time she was going out with one of our other members.

He didn't marry her either.

[Fran]

Never mind her, what about the car?

[Diapason]

'Twas lovely, although I was never in it. I saw it parked out the bag of her crash-pad in Fitzwilliam Square. It lasted longer than her brother's Ferrari which he wrote off soon after his 21st.

Incidentally JK, this Aston owner you know wasn't a man named Boyle was he?
