As another view I've been a cyclist as an adult for about 11 years and nearly every minor accident and near miss I've had has involved a woman driver. Before anyone starts I never cycle on the pavement or go through red lights. I don't know whether its a thing of girls not using bikes as much as kids and having no concept of how fast semi-fit adults can go or what but its something I'd stand by within normal "shocking generalisation" levels. 45102[/snapback] They can't throw or catch properly either tbh. In my experience.

I think the insurance doesn't give a toss about a woman driving 1 mile every week to her hairdresser or a man cruising with his hairdresser the land up and down all day. They are just interested in how likely it is statistically that the driver will cause an accident... 45051[/snapback] So if I drove 140 miles a day, don't you think I'd statistically be more likely to be involved in an accident that my mother who drives 3 miles to get to work? 45060[/snapback] Mileage doesn't matter. If someone male who drives 1000 miles a day causes an accident every 1500 miles he statistically is still more accident prone than a woman that drives 5 miles a week and statistically causes an accident every 10 miles. 45080[/snapback] Hang on, you've lost me. Are you saying that insurances companies DO actually take into account how far you drive, or are you saying that the distance you drive has no bearing on how likely you are to cause an accident (fatigue for example, no?). I understand what you are saying about the statistics behind how per mile accidents happen, but I think you're ignoring the fact that you're more likely to crash driving longer distances than you are short distances. I'd also like to see the stats about how many accidents are on motorways compared to minor roads tbh. In my experience (and I hope I'm not gonna get labelled sexist for sharing my own experience here ) but most (not all) accidents I've seen looked to have been caused by females. 45086[/snapback] Unless you're a road accident investigator then we should probably disregard your less than scientific 'findings' 45087[/snapback] So basically you can disregard anyone else's views on anything which they don't have a profession in? Yeah, ok then I've driven over 300,000 miles in my life, and seen plenty of accidents. I didn't once state that it was scientific fact, and if you look back I actually started with "in my experience". Well done though, very amusing reply 45092[/snapback] Fucking hell mate! Time of the month? Seriously though, although I was just joking, no I dont actually think the mere fact that you drive that many motorway miles would qualify you to give that sort of an opinion. You're basing your finding on what you've rubbernecked as you drive past shirley? It's not like you're out there taking witness statements and skid measurements etc. I know what you're getting at though generally. You'll note that I've already made the point about rear end shunts and my spacial awareness theory. 45096[/snapback] Hence why I didn't say... "Women cause more accidents = FACT" I said, "in my experience".... and they "look" to have.... Yes, not scientific at all, just thought I'd share it. I'll refrain in future though Oh, and I've been crashed into three times. Twice by women and once by a man. Statistics prove therefore......... 45098[/snapback] Bit touchy in my experience tbh.

On a separate note, Alex suffers the indignity of driving a girls car and can therefore feel rightly agrieved that he doesnt qualify for the favourable girls/benders insurance premiums.

They already ask for your projected milegae though, so I wouldnt bank on it. I think Bridget made a point elsewhere (which she quite freely conceded actually, nobody was pressing her on it) that women are on average more responsible for rear end shunts. It got me to thinking whether that was a spacial awareness thing??? There was a fascinating series of programmes on the beeb recently which highlighted the differences between the sexes-and spacial awareness was one such area where females were less 'advanced'. It was recognised that women were better articulators however, which is a decent trade off from their point of view i'd say.

If by cheek you mean arse cheek, then I've noticed Smooth Operators tongue in Wacky's 'cheek' a fair bit of late. But thats welcome respite from the rampant homophobia on here. Personally, I welcome this new wave of diversity to the board.

Maybe you're just clairvoyant and didnt know it. It would begin to explain the 'Mystic Meg' cape ensemble anyways. 42870[/snapback] A tee-eem from the North-Ee-east will have a big win. Yeah right. 42879[/snapback] Actually, on reflection I'd say you're more Russell Grant.

After a day of name calling us Northerners love nothing more than to kick back and emerse ourselves in the heavyweights of 19th century English literature. Join us (if you can) you southern shandy drinking shithouse!

When I first read those opening lines my immediate thoughts were "Oh you complete gobshite!" but then when you get into the book you realise just how masterful they are. Fancy a re-read of summat now.

Now you're talking. A Tale of Two Cities is class an all. Read Bleak House as well last summer. I think the BBC have just dramatised that one so i'm looking forward to seeing how that makes the transition.

Not to sound shallow or anything, (and I realise that this cant sound anything other than shallow), but I really do think an Austen hearoine (and Lizzie Bennett above all others) must have a thrusting bossom. Keira just doesnt deliver on that score. Also, whats her dimented grin about...?

I'm a bit of a devotee on the sly. Keep it under one of your (pink) hats though! Actually I dont like all Austen. Mansfield Park for instance is utter shite, but Pride and Prejudice is just about the best characterisation you'll ever see in a novel. Talk about actually caring about the characters and wanting them to get it on.....! Course neebodby could rip a good yarn quite like Dickens.

I just rented that. Not watched it yet though. Yesterday I watched Downfall, a German film about the last 10 days of world war 2 in Hitlers bunker. Excellent film. Mrs Goebbels is particularly shocking. Took me mother to the flicks tonight to see Pride and Prejudice and I loved that too. Proper wifey film like but as a big fan of Moulin Rouge, that suits me down to the ground. I was never keen on Keira Knightley before, but I love her now. 42080[/snapback] Pride and Prejudice is quite simply one of the best books ever written. Not seen the film yet but heard mixed reviews. The BBC adaptation was a masterpiece mind you-can't believe it's 10 years old this year! 42646[/snapback] tbh 42818[/snapback] Just not interested unless it's got a load of little men with big feet in it are you? I s'pose role models are thin on the ground though.

Tits are false but i wouldn't mind trying to open that padlock with my tongue, bet you Hoodini couldn't. 40246[/snapback] Nah, tits are defo real. She is a stunner imo. Hubba hubba. 40328[/snapback] On balance I'm sensing the surgeons knife tbh. She's got awesome hips and waist though, which is just as important.

Nice eyeshadow.

Ask her in German, it's a very romantic sounding language!

You got a streaky fake tan too? 39847[/snapback] Well if that were the case it wouldn't be "just me" would it you plank! 39848[/snapback] Are you finally admitting you have more than one online persona?

39832[/snapback] Poor lass. Mind, if that's her after being airbrushed..... 39835[/snapback] Aye, I just thought that was a particularly apt and funny description. Disclaimer: Not that I'm claiming to be an oil painting or anything mind before the lesbian hobnail boot brigade arrive on the scene tbh.

I think you'll find you're wrong there son 36962[/snapback] A grammatical error i admit but she's the only one in the driving seat. 36967[/snapback] Whats hers is mine 36969[/snapback] gonorhoea? 36971[/snapback] You know her 36973[/snapback] Only in the Biblical sense, son!
