You never know...

.....just when it might come in handy. Insurance that is. Apparently some 35,000 of our brothers and sisters across the pond took out insurance in 1994 against being kidnapped and eaten by aliens.

You may think that the value of such a policy might have been figuring more highly in Timelord's mind than usual as a result of:

- watching the latest episode of Doctor Who
- the start of the football season and the names of the latest imports to the ranks of our premiership teams
- forgetting to hit the mute button when the Go Compare advert hit the TV screen for the fiftieth time this evening
- spending forty eight hours in Yorkshire

Make an urgent appointment with your broker. Premiums are on the rise.
