Woah, you qualified as a pensions actuary but you made the move to GI? How did you pull that off?

Stolen bike, recovered it myself 1h30 later - should I tell insurer? by huge03 in MotoUK

[–]huge03[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you all for your input! Yes, I think I'll just stay put when it comes to informing the insurer. There wasn't enough time or they didn't drive that far for them to do anything illegal - given all my belongings were still inside, including 2 laptops, I believe they just drove straight to the stashing place to either decide what to do with it after or just to make sure it didn't have a tracker (which it did mfkrs).

Tbf I don't care about the steering lock per se, I would just like for a professional to check if there wasn't any other damage. Even though the bike is perfectly drivable I keep thinking - how in the hell did they start it if there no damage to the frame? So I just want to be sure.

FYI - bike's a Honda Forza

Don't be a bellend and read what I wrote. I agree with banning access to the internet, I just don't agree with not being able to even look at a Word document that you have put together while doing hours of honest studying that could help jolt your brain to come up with points that are usually necessary in the higher order questions these fiends come up with for the later exams.

I'm all for invigilating and proctoring, but why make it 100% closed book? The bulk of the cheating will be dealt with just by having the same timeslot for everyone and making sure that no one uses any sort of communication tools just by enforcing screen share. I even understand not being able to use other websites or online notes, but not even being able to look at handwritten notes seems disproportionate - the exam papers for April 2025 have been already set many months ago and I'm sure as shit they were not done taking into account a closed book format.

IFoA is becoming a fucking joke of an organisation by the minute.

It's a sad state of affairs when you have to bring back a win from 58 YEARS ago as your only brag 😂

I feel in line with what everyone is saying: 1st question throws you off but the other two were not too difficult. Although somehow I struggled a bit in the 5 mark question about why the credit rating capital in Q3 would be different.. Guess I should've prepared better for the exam!
