Shoutbox

Why do newbies use the shoutbox to ask a question? Fer example Onlynome now. There is way to answer unless we answer using the shout too.
Maybe Newbies shouldn't have use of the facility???

It seems to be used for unusual things, or maybe I am just a nit picking grumpy old git.

Yeah, I sent them a PM but that doesn't really help if someone else asks the same question

I have now done a small tweak. Newbie's cannot post on the Shoutbox section until they have 5+ posts.

yep, i agree. Even though i am somewhat of a newbie myself.  :oops:

also, sorry to repeat but what would you answer to that question?  not having a budget able to stretch much over two grand for car, insurance, T&T and anything else I can't think of. I guess it's important to get a good idea of how to spread my finances.

btw: i'll be 17 and a guy. (not that i'm not a guy now lol).

My insurance is under £80 a year fully com with Footman James. Just used 'Compare the Meercat dot com' and went with the cheapest.

Cris thanks for the tweek, often a newbee does a shout then is never seen again.

As far as getting the cheapeast, like dajwid says use the comparison sites but once you've got a good quote take that to the likes of Adrian Flux or Chris Knott and tell them you're part of the club, they tend to beat standard quotes anyway and will often add a discount for club members.

Excellent, thanks you guys.  :D

Also, don't know if you know but compare the meercat is a real site, busts the boredom for about five minutes i guess.
