Now some articles are saying a woman was driving the Bugatti but the inital ones were very clear about it being a man. Curious. I've also remembered that, on Top Gear when they were racing the Bugatti vs plane, Jeremy called an insurance company to check how much the Bug would be to insure... and was told "We don't insure that car." Wonder how they got insurance for this one? Especially if it was going to be a rental? And how much would it be?

Crikey. Some people really do have more money than sense.

In News Of My Life, Gonzo is currently in the small tank by himself because he was sitting on the bottom not going anywhere and wasn't very steady about it whenever he did try to move if something startled him. I've fed him some cooked peas and he seems to be perking up a little or at least managing to stay more upright and off the bottom, mostly. His tail's all ripped again though and I have no idea why.

Fish =/= easy pets. Really not, as much as I love the Muppets. Give me something fluffy that you can easily bundle into a car and take to the vet over this.

I seem to have had an insanely busy day without actually having done anything. Except buy the three original Star Wars films, because I'm weak and the book I'm readying for my dissertation keeps referencing them and it annoys me that I can't remember them that well. On the plus side they were three for £20 and the guy in HMV gave me student discount even though I didn't have a student card on me or at all, since I lost it. Which I suspect -- without proof mind -- might have been because I was a girl buying Star Wars. Or maybe he was just lovely. Anyway, £5 cheaper than play.com. Can't complain.

So dumb with tired. Maybe I should just watch Star Wars and veg. And stop drawing out this dull entry with rambling. ;)

When the insurance people asked Jeremy was the car a Rover... that has to be one of my favourite Top Gear moments ever. It's fantastic.

apparently you can only get third-party only cover for cars like the veyron because of the stupid amount of money it would cost to repair. So if one is crashed, it's only covered if it was the other person's fault. And then you'll only get what it'd be worth second hand. There's a company on South London who are known to literally insure anything, it's just the price that'd stop you.

The woman was in the Astra the Veyron hit. And she was pregnant.

Just posting the link as I don't really want to fill your comments with that sort of language, lol. I'd say the same as everyone else really.
