I spoke to a friend earlier today who is looking to claim whiplash insurance compensation. Earlier in the week, he was in a car crash – although by all accounts it was more of a bump. Someone apparently drove into the back of his car at the traffic lights in town ... he was slowing to a halt, and the car behind somehow hadn’t realised the lights had turned red, and just trundled into the back of him.

It seems that the man who did the crashing was more than helpful though, and it looks like everything is in place for the insurance stuff to be sorted out. Which reminds me, there is an article here that claims a significant amount of people don’t realise their options when it comes to things like this. I stumbled across it the other day, and I must remember to send it over to my friend – he would hate it if I informed him afterwards that he missed out on an accident claim or something.

I can’t think when I’ll see him next, though. He was going to come to the NFL game at Wembley this week, but he has just dropped out, and the unfortunate  problem when people live all over the country is that you rarely get to see each other face to face. I’ll have to have a dig around to see if I can find his email address, I suppose, although I can’t remember ever getting it off him.

And now there are only a couple of days to go before the game. I’m beginning to look forward to it quite a lot. There was an article in The Times about Tom Brady, and it just reinforced that he and top target Randy Moss will be two players who it will be pretty fantastic to have seen play, after they have retired. Yes, I’m looking forward to it quite a lot!
