If you listen to the commentators, they all sing the same song. We’ve now entered the internet age. This is supposed to convince us something new and wonderful has happened. It’s such a complete break with the past it heralds the beginning of a new information age in which, somehow, we can all get ahead and do things never possible before. This is, of course, pure rubbish. The only difference between the digital age and the hard-copy age that went before it is the ease of access. Having a PC or some other online device gives you access to a vast library with a search engine to help you find the pages you need more easily. But, when you have the right page on the screen in front of you, it’s the same words you could have found in a book or some other written material. All that’s changed is the way the words are presented to you.

DOWNLOAD THE MP3: tinyurl.com Lyrics by Ray Johnson Beat by Mixscape ***LYRICS***Girl, I know you left me, but there was something I forgot to show you. Baby girl, you left me. Oh no! We broke up. It’s been a while since we last spoke, but I need another chance. Can you give me that? ‘Cause there’s something in my pants that’ll win you back. I wanna be your man again, But you left me like I’m Jennifer Aniston. And I know you said you’d never call, But girl, you ain’t seen my balls. You-you-you-you ain’t seen my balls. (repeat) My balls are so awesome. Don’t get me started. They’re so damn big. How big are they? They’re so big. It’s really obnoxious. It’s like two ewoks chillin’ in my boxers. They’re so big. I can’t hold ‘em back. Even Cartman’s like, man those are fat. They’re so big. They’re run over your feet. That’s why when they back up you hear a beep beep. And how can I be subtle, when my balls chase Indiana Jones through a tunnel? And everyone at Disney World keeps telling me That Epcot Center looks at ‘em with jealousy. In fact, when you see ‘em on the street they’ll Fight Godzilla to the death in the sequel. I’m guessing soon you’ll be hoping I’m back, ‘Cause my balls are so big they’ve got an opening act. You-you-you-you ain’t seen my balls. (repeat) My balls are so epic, and I ain’t boastin’, but they have an effect on the tides in the ocean. And when the sun’s right, it might cause A total solar eclipse of my balls. ‘Cause these things are where it’s happenin …
Look out your car window and, sometimes, between the billboards, you can see a tree. In the good old days before we started covering the land with concrete, there used to be whole forests. Now the trees are gone and the ground is covered up, all we get are floods – the water can no longer soak into the ground and disappear. Of course, some of us keep trees as pets in our yards. We miss the old times and enjoy watching something big and green growing up into the sky. And yet. . . Have you ever wondered what holds the trees upright? Yes, these wonders of nature do grow up into the sky but, to ensure they don’t just fall over every time the wind blows, they develop big root systems. Many of these roots spread underneath our homes and can cause problems with the foundations. Some roots go the other way and produce that delightfully uneven sidewalk our old folk like to trip over when their eyesight’s not so good.
The problem with insurance is nothing in life is ever completely certain. One day the housing market can be rolling along, everyone certain prices can only ever go up. The next day, we’re pitched into a recession, major banks are in trouble and the housing market has collapsed. Because insurance is based on the concept of good faith, there’s supposed to be give and take on both sides of the relationship. An insurer cannot physically inspect every property it agrees to cover. To some extent, it must always rely on the honesty of the home owner to get proper estimates for the cost of rebuilding. After all, if the owner innocently underinsures, he or she will have to pay the additional costs out of savings. The insurer will not be at risk. If there was fraud, the insurer has the right to cancel the policy and avoid any payment. This protection for the insurer is fairly comprehensive. Hence, to offer better balance, most insurers offer guaranteed or extended replacement cover cover.
There’s a reason why most sites like this talk about discounts as the best way of saving money. It happens to be true but, to take advantage of the discounts safely, you need to think carefully. Let’s start with the most commonly mentioned. All you have to do to make big savings is to increase your deductible. Indeed, the theory is often proved correct that an increase from $500 to $1000 can save you up to 25% of the annual premium. But there are two issues to think about.
