Any question answered...

Thanks but it isn't that one, maybe it appeared somewhere else. 🌚😉 Booked a hotel now, all sorted. Just rinsed my bank account again! 😭

I'm trying to make a short crossword to go inside a card and am totally stumped by generating a clue for "lesson", or "course". I'd also be happy with any synonym that conveys the same.

It doesn't need to be rocket science, but it needs to be tougher than chatgpt's effort

Clue: An educational experience designed to impart knowledge or skills (7 letters).

There must be something along the lines of a clue for "course" using a reference to meal courses.....

Depends on the style of your clues but "Rough section of a meal" might do it.

Ask chatgpt for a tougher one?

lesson

This increases your understanding of a subject, despite sounding as if it does the opposite.

Course has a couple of anagrams that might make clue?

The route of the river can also be studied.

Answer, course.

Cheers.

I think it's going to be brommers or Bruce, depending on whether the crossword generator looks better with an L or a C.

Ask chatgpt for a tougher one?

Maybe it's because I don't crossword, but even when you do they are a bit long and shit.

Of (7).

Nice.

This gets my vote

"Rough section of a meal"

Not a fan, as the homophones are not homonyms. If you insist on the homophony, "Route sounds rough" is acceptable

"lesson"

Disrobing class?

Nice.

car and tax insurance. Both run out for me at the end of this month. I am buying a new car next month (not an exchange). Bad timing. So both cars will be on the road in October. I think In am stuffed - but any clever ideas of how to avoid wasting too much money to be legal in October?
Also, my forum approved Jazz (2010, 1.2SE, 22,000 miles, dark blue) will be available and I will post that in the right thread asap.

I think you have a 14-day cooling off period at the start of insurance cover. Could you take advantage of that?

Also, feel free to pm me details of the Jazz 🙂

Do companies like marmalade do daily cover for one of the cars to keep both legal, or is it silly money?

You can pay tax monthly. Works out more expensive per month than paying annually but not by much. Regarding insurance, you can usually transfer the cover from one vehicle to another, there's probably a fee involved though. It might be worth just getting in touch with some insurance companies and explaining the plan to see what they can offer.

I just had a similar situation, I moved my family to France then brought my car back to London to sell, my insurance ran out a couple of days before I left the UK.

Signed up for a new policy then cancelled it just over a week later, it was with Aviva Zero and their policy was 28 quid cancellation fee if within 14 days or 56 after that, then they deduct what ever the cost of the policy has been for the time you've had it. I had mine for 8 or 9 days so it only cost me 35 quid in total. I looked into short term insurance but it was way more expensive.

this is all very quick and helpful thanks. I will check the monthly insurance. I thought I had another month until a reminder came in. I may be able to put out the new car to 1 November. Insurance is always tricky, in the old days you would just pop down to your friendly broker on the Hight St and sort it out. I think of my Admiral insurance (bought as cheapest, never really expect it to pay out anything) largely as just another tax, but will send them a message and hope to be surprised.
Honda Jazz out Suzuki Jimny in, hope for forum approval.

As mentioned above, tax monthly is an option.

On the insurance side, I've both my wife and I have changed cars and just updated my insurance accordingly, no fee incurred either time. Naturally, this may vary depending on insurer.

Edit: Whoops, didn't see your response just above there

When people or bots send spam and phishing emails, why do they use weird characters in lieue of letters?

"We hαve been trчıng to reαch чou - Pleαse respond!"

The che (ч) is cyrillic obvs and I wondered if it was a mistranslation from some russian bot farm?

But the α? That's greek right?

Makes it harder for the less intelligent spam filters.
