They'll put your version of events to him and ask for his response to them. They'll then take a view as to which version is the more plausible on the balance of probabilities (as this would be the standard of proof if it ever went to court) and would then get back to him with their conclusions-ie in essence whether they thought they had a good case or whether conversely they thought the litigation risk was so great (for which read 'youre a lying little mackem shitehawk') as to make settlement the better option (ie admit liability). Ultimately the dispute would be between you and him, not the insurers and therefore if he chose to ignore what his insurer was saying he could still take it to court, though in practice whether this would happen would probably (as with all things) be a matter of money. ie it might be the case that, on the basis of the wording of his policy his insurer would be absolved from funding litigation if they'd made a recommendation to him not to proceed with the dispute. In that potential scenario he'd then have to then fund the process himself..... ......and what with you sat there throwing £50 notes about screaming that you earn more in a day than the court clerk does in a year, he'll soon see his arse over. 81775[/snapback] Cheers mate. So it's not a completely lost cause then, although it'll depend on how ropey his version of events is. I'll see what happens then - I would consider taking the little shit to court on principle like, but it might just be easier to suffer the increased premium if he maintains he's not at fault and his insurance company won't cough up. Might be cheaper an'all - cost of repair is around £1200. 81782[/snapback] Basically mate, just re-iterrate that you were in the outside lane, that you were not speeding and that he didnt indicate (and blatantly couldnt have been keeping a proper lookout if you were already occupying the same space he was apparently so keen on himself). Definitely not a lost cause. Basically at this stage its all talk and seeing how the land lies - his insurer has gone to him and he's said what he's said (perhaps he's waxed it cos he's fucked a works van etc etc-who knows?) but in essence they're gonna at least test the responses they get back. Where it changes though is if/when it gets to court. What you need to stress is, it doesnt matter what the little mackem dickhead is saying now (theres nee recriminations at this stage), ultimately you'd be prepared to put your version down with a signed statement of truth and repeat exactly the same in court-and that youre perfectly aware that to wilfully mis-state anything would be to attempt to pervert the course of justice and you understand that that is an extremely serious offence. He would ultimately have to be able to say the same thing himself-and thats very possibly when he would see his arse. PS hope for Newcastle County Court and not Sunderland County Court.

Used me as a body double for the sex scenes tbh.

Thats always the bottom line. Gol's response should really be read in light of that. From a strict legal point of view though, the dispute is always between the individual drivers and hence ultimately its down to them whether they want to litigate.

Pulled yourself out of the gutter tbh.

On a related note, did anyone see that thread on N-O where that Stevie H84 retard went fucking berserk cos someone changed his thread title slightly. http://www.newcastle-online.com/nufcforum/...ic,12973.0.html Fuck me gently!

Yes 81457[/snapback] Thought as much but couldnt be sure. Bit of a shit situation where the only team you can go to to 'better yourself' (meaning whichever of the two is on top at the time) in the same league is a potential sectarian disaster waiting to happen. Terminally shit league tho to be fair. 81460[/snapback] I dont support any team up here, however i have actually found it more interesting this year than i have the premiership. The Premiership is no more a contest what with Chelseas money and in the SPL both Edinburgh teams have been involved at the top of league and the league is still a long way from being decided... 81464[/snapback] Don't disagree with that, though I have to say in England theres still more of a level playing field even with Chelski's millions. Liverpool Man Ure and Arse could all realistically compete imho, just they havent (Liverpool making the best fist of it this season). Mourinho deserves more credit than he gets.

Fair do's but why have you got an avatar of Ritchie (Scottish Mag) covering his 'tache?

Did Johnstone go the other way? Celts to Gers?

Sheep smell a lot better tbh.

Turd Ferguson if he's still registered. Smithers Jones an all. Flush the bastards oot.

Nothing to see here tbh

Agreed. I've got daffodils appearing in my garden ffs! 81374[/snapback] Where do they normally appear, like?

Channel 4 sport 81349[/snapback] Anyone else seeing a common theme in this? Doesn't suprise me in the least. 81363[/snapback] ....come on, you can hardly accuse Kieron Dyer of extortionate wage demands!

S'pose you were always going to get a lot of chain stuff to cater for the relatively rapid population expansion-inevitable in that sense. Just wondered if there was like an 'old town', like there is even with the likes of Washington.....and Ibiza.

It's Ok but not as good as the London St Brasserie................. There's an odd small mall somewhere right in the middle that has a good Thai and a smart Italian place upstairs - sort of backs on to the Oracle I think 81359[/snapback] Reading sounds shite like. Is there actually a town centre or is it just a load of industrial estates?

carrying it in a wheelbarrow I heard.

over the line iywmho

The day after SMO waxes his pants because some lass at work has read his computer screen to discover salacious remarks about a colleague....he posts more stuff on his works computer about another lass at his work with bogroll hanging out of her shreddies.

Good job my skins just as thick! You're all bullies on here. *flounces off, eating kebab*

racing snake me, man

Aye. Nee tubbies need apply, mind.
