    Jesus, that's a high amount to be paying, I feel sorry for you. :(

    You'll like the gym, it's more fun than just going running. I really need to re-join, but I don't think I have the time now with work, bootcamp, college and seeing my friends and stuff. Might squeeze some morning work outs in though. Gym down the road from me is only 200 for fifteen months and is a good gym. :)

    Urgh, didn't get the job :mad:

    I've come to the conclusion that working for somebody else is a waste of your time and energy. All you're doing is making more money for them.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 11,255 ✭✭✭✭Esoteric_


    Awh no, I'm really sorry to hear that. Idiots don't know what they're missing, obviously!

    Did that gig, absolute pain in the hole asking the same questions over and over again. Try to play them off against each other to bring the price down, you can tell who's desperately trying to make sales by the tone of their voice, once you get someone like that try to angle as many discounts as you can from them ;)

    Tbh, I thought I would, but it's extremely easy, I don't stop people, they come to me. Plus I haven't seen the owner once since we opened, so I work for myself and by myself most of the time. it's handy enough as a stop gap between other stuff. plus it's not only commission, I wouldn't do it without a wage :)

    I've been with them for a while now, they're pretty good price-wise!

    True good point. if there's a gig going there tell me who to ask. it's actually the kind of business I'd want to run if I had the cash :pac:

    I've heard good things about them myself, the only hassle I've heard is when you need to go and claim off them though :pac:

    Yeh I got an online quote of them for 680 which is quite a good bit cheaper, so Im just waiting on them to ring me now to make sure they have everything right and if they do. Ill ring my own insurance company give them the chance to match it and if not no nonsense it will be, fingers crossed :).

    That's actually a pretty decent quote to be getting considering you had a claim in the last year man.

    TBH I can't really see your company being able to match that, mainly because they make more money on the renewals than on new business.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 11,255 ✭✭✭✭Esoteric_


    p_1, afaik they're looking for staff, although its bloody minimum wage. I'll double check on Thursday when I'm talking to the owner, but I'm almost sure they are, if you're stuck for something and they need people you can fire your cv off to me, they prefer hiring people recommended to them, I got it cause my dad's friend's friend knew the owner so he was more willing to interview me because of the tiny connection to him. :pac:

    Exactly sure I paid 600 last year with full no claims with RSA through 123.ie. So im pretty much just waiting on no nonsense to ring me want to make sure its all good with the quote being that low.

    Why am I looking at cars and bikes online again? >_<

    Cool, cheers. Ah if its min wage with commission thrown on top I don't mind. I bloody hate doing it but I'm pretty good at selling stuff :pac:

    Not a hope RSA will match it man, once you claim once with them they basically don't want your business anymore.

    No Nonsense are FBD, usually a good policy, only hassle with them is their excess can be so high it wouldn't be worth claiming through them if it ever comes to that.

    Yeh I checked the excess its only 300 euro thats was the first thing I thought of, it seems to be all good.

    You can lower the excess too if I'm not mistaken, they're fairly customisable.

    I've been itching to get a bike for ages now, just can't justify it to myself (and don't have the money at the minute!)
    Really sickens me when I see one that's just what I want, and I like the look of them!


  • Registered Users Posts: 14,681 ✭✭✭✭P_1

    Yeah you can, only trouble with that is that by lowering the excess you increase your premium

    A customer just handed me a box of chocolates and a 5 euro tip to thank me for convincing her to buy the e-cig three weeks ago, cause she hasn't had a single smoke since. That was so kind, day made :)

    Might be advisable to avoid Navan on the day I do it :pac:

    Aw that's so lovely of her!! Always nice to be appreciated.

    I used to work in a pet shop, happened to go in on my day off once and they were mental busy, so I offered to help a woman choose what she needed for her pet rabbit and tell her all about their care etc. Spent about half an hour or so with her, and when I went out to help her with stuff to the car she handed me a €20 tip! Suppose she knew it was my day off and felt guilty :pac:
