Steven Knoetze (sk27) Posted October 18, 2013 Posted October 18, 2013 if you're that kinda guy, yeah. It would be. But that type of thing is commonly known as insurance fraud... And just in case you're wondering, the "yay" was laden with sarcasm. I don't like dealing with short term insurers... BTW - had to can the order of the Note thanks to this. Will have to see if the insurance offers the ability to nominate a different phone of equal value on claim, or if I will have to go the "I've already bought a new phone" route by getting a new contract and switching out the phone. 'Cos I need a phone, like ASAP. Was just meant as a joke, hope you didn't take it personally.It's just that I'm losing faith in humanity. One of my colleagues apparently came up with an ingenious idea to make money, by taking out R50K funeral policies for his parents because a funeral only costs R5K so it's a great way to make money is what he told me.And no I'm not making a joke!!I asked him how it would affect his decision should he one day be in the position where his car breaks down needs repairs and his mom is in a car accident and it's his decision whether his mom's life support should be switched off???He actually had to think about the answer, it's disgusting.

DR ◣◢ Posted October 18, 2013 Posted October 18, 2013 In the shop Upgraded the drive train to Saint 1x9. Brakes are changing to SLX/XTR hybrids and a Sektor 150mm is replacing the horrible RST on there. Upgrades almost done. Fork will be here in 4 days or so.

gummibear Posted October 18, 2013 Posted October 18, 2013 Thanks SLX levers with XTR calipers. Ok,seen a few guys do that.
PhilipV Posted October 18, 2013 Posted October 18, 2013 fark dude, that is low... It can get more macabre..A certain member of my in-law family has taken out life insurance of millions of rands on his siblings because he believes that they will die soon.
Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted October 18, 2013 Posted October 18, 2013 It can get more macabre..A certain member of my in-law family has taken out life insurance of millions of rands on his siblings because he believes that they will die soon. That's a good investment strategy though. But to do it on funeral cover and having to THINK about whether to pull the plug or not!? That's fkd up. Oh - If I could insure my dad I would. I know that from a cashflow perspective I'd need it as my mom would come and live with us, and there's no current way to pay off all their debt. But - we're generally prevented from doing that if they're sick. In my dad's case, no insurer would touch him as he's had multiple strokes, a triple bypass and a burst stomach ulcer. All in the past 4 years.
Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted October 18, 2013 Posted October 18, 2013 Oh - and posting this from my new Galaxy note. Insurance confirmed payout, and I can't be without a phone for the next 5 days - which is how long it'd take them to get a replacement to me... Just opened up a new contract, and I'm gonna use that on my iPad... PaulTeague and Lone_Ranger 2
