You have listed many reasons there why younger drivers tend to be less safe. Not one of the reasons though is their age alone.
There is no doubt that young guys and girls are full of confidence and seemingly invincible (to themselves) or influenced by peers and social factors is a central core of the reasoning behind younger drivers having accidents. Not in my mind anyway.
But inexperience is a massive factor. You mentioned experience several times, I wonder how many people that pass their test in their 30's have an accident in their first few years of driving, or their 50's for that matter.
Age is irrelevant and is just a convenient pigeon hole. Experience is the key in my opinion.

You are quite correct. But notwithstanding all the good he did for the world, history still shows he was convicted

To be fair, he wasn't bad, as far as terrorists go.
I've no doubt he has left a positive and lasting impression on the world.

The facts, however presented and by whom, are clear to see and I don't think anyone can deny that younger drivers are more likely to have an accident, I certainly don't.
There are many reasons why this occurs, but I personally don't believe that age in itself is the prime factor.

I've just woken up after snoozing away the effects of a night shift. Several times I was woken up by the wind howling past, but thought nothing of it.
Watching the BBC news at one with a coffee I was shocked to see just over 40% of the news was taken up with details of a storm bashing the North with one person killed and flooding expected later today, and expected to be along the lines of the 'Great flood' of 1953.
Firstly can I say that I hope you are all kept safe and that no one else loses their life. However, I love seeing the thunder and lightning, howling winds and driving rain, whilst sat indoors with the heating on, snuggled up and watching the neighbors' patio furniture being blown over their fence.
Am I the only one that likes a 'good storm'?

If I understand the FT article correctly, VED is not being abolished, just the need to display a tax disc.
You are correct
Sex God
I have bought my car tax online for at least five years and every time the DVLA website gives you an automatic 5 extra days grace on displaying your out of date disc. Which raises the question how many people take any notice of it these days when most convictions appear to be tied to automatic number plate recognition, or suspicion being raised by something else and escalated. Broken headlights etc spring to mind here if you ever watch those cop reality shows.
I think this is a step in the right direction.

I think it's interesting to note that the findings in the first post were published in 2010 based on research carried out in 2009. I don't doubt that the central theme is still true today, but the figures may be very different.
I also noticed that the original research was carried out by Admiral asking 2 million of it's own customers. Given that Admiral was set up in the early 90's with the aim of targeting those who traditionally pay higher than average premiums (guess who they could be talking about) Is it not surprising that there is a high rate of accidents amongst it's own customers? If 2 million saga insurance customers were questioned would the same statistics occur? I don't think so and as I said before the figures may be very different.
And lo and behold at the same time as admiral shocked the nation with its statistics it launched a new learner driving scheme with lessons charged at an hour for children as young as eleven!

1460 or 2000 or 200 it is the principal that matters here it is one thing to source cheap products abroad and sell them here but to blatantly profit from the UK whilst deliberately using foreign employees at the expense of those in the UK is just a smack in the face for the people that keep them in business.
I would have thought that by now you would have learnt that facts are more relevant than headlines. Ive pointed out that your headline was in fact 25% incorrect; No need to get on your high horse about it.
Your principals are all well and good. In fact I applaud you for doing what you think is right, I have had the same stance with large and small companies in the past. And provided a significant number of Npowers 3.4 million customers in the UK do the same as you, then it will hopefully make them think again about there proposals to cut 1460 jobs.
However, as it takes around 40 days to transfer supplier they won't be feeling the pinch for a while yet.

I wish them well too, however when I applied to be a mod I was told I couldn't because of our couple's profile. As a couple it was felt that it wouldn't be clear which one of us was actually the mod.
So has this situation changed?

I got one of them but I think it's faulty. The damn thing keeps thinking it's allowed out the kitchen!

No, I am pointing out that there are proposals for 1460 redundancies not 2000.

In fairness the headline isn't entirely correct.
There are proposals for 1460 redundancies, not 2000.

I'm sorry is your question about Asians? Hindu's? Sikh's? or Muslim's?
I have to ask because you start by talking about Muslims then take the question elsewhere.

We seem to still get the ever present advances from guys that don't meet our profile, are too far away, only want a social or that we simply don't hit it off with (sometimes more than one).
Our kids are 14 and 12. It's very difficult at times to fit everything in, especially with kids at such an inquisitive age. Not to mention an age when they don't want to go to bed. That's why we are so more direct these days than when we first joined the site. Quite frankly there are plenty of ways to be a timewaster, and the paragraph above describes a few of them.
We have had plenty of no-shows, just like so many other people on here. It's galling to think of the effort we have gone to in getting the kids out the house, or worn out when they were younger; the money spent on getting in a few drinkies, some new underwear or whatever else was required; and the multitude of other things that have to be thought of at times to arrange a great meet only to be let down by yet another guy. The long distance guy who says 'I'll be there in two hours' and after four we go to bed. The guy that swears blind he is on the way, but unfortunately there are leaves on the line and his train can't get here. The lost guy. The guy that never intended to meet, just fancied it. The guy that has bottled it at the end of the road. The guy who's aunties step cousins dog has just bitten the cat that scratched a squirrel that ran in the road and caused a car crash meaning he cant get his car off the drive!
Many new people to this site just assume that everyone falls into bed with everyone and that by signing up they will be guaranteed sex until they beg for a night off. The reality however is somewhat different. They fail to realise that we are all people with our own lives to lead and sometimes we get on, sometimes we don't. Sometimes meeting for sex or coffee is practical, but at other times it's laughable to contemplate.
However, when we find someone that we can see eye to eye with long enough to get groin to groin; when they meet our profile; and when they don't have ridiculous 400 mile train journeys, then it is most definitely still worth the effort of arranging a trip to nannies for the kids at the weekend or for them both to sleepover at a friends on the same night. It's worth putting the effort in and getting the reward.
In short, remember who you are here, why you are here and most importantly... Your password so you can still come back one day ;)

Why only Gay men ? your thread, your perogative but just wondering why your only interested in the opinion of gay men and not straight or bi men who might enjoy the same passion for such things
At the risk of looking like I'm following you around the forums (I'm really not, I assure you!
), I thought exactly the same thing! :lol:Ditto!

When I first joined the site there was a rule laid down by the site when using the chat rooms that people had to ask in the open room if it was ok to whisper someone. The site then got rid of the rule without many members at the time being aware.
Removal of that rule did cause a few problems in the chatrooms for a while. Personally we much preferred it back then, and since the rule was taken away we have switched whispers off permanently.
It makes you wonder why someone expects an answer to a unsolicited whispered 'Hi' when they can't be bothered to say 'Hi' in the main room. Would they walk into a pub and start whispering in strangers ears?

1. Condoms!
2. Someone knows where she is, which would be you I assume.
3. A very large and heavy, some would say deadly, dildo in her bag just in case.

I think that the ultimate decision should come down to you. You should be free to do what you like when you like, but at the moment I'm guessing your emotions are still a little raw and therefore jumping headlong into an emotion charged atmosphere may not be best.
What I'm trying to say is that only you know how you feel inside. Don't pigeon hole yourself and keep your options open. Just go with the flow.

I always reply even if its a no - would be rude not to and my dad taught me manners
I consider a message saying 'hi' and a cock pic sent from some guy in Scotland that's 20 years past our upper age limit as rude because they haven't taken time to check they meet our profile before wasting our time. So I have no compunction with ignoring them.

Not aimed at the OP of this thread, some people get upset when they get no replies but to be quite honest, they don't deserve one.
You are so right. We always reply to people who meet our profile, but we seldom reply to those that don't. The people that start there message long the lines of 'I know I don't meet your profile but...) are the ones we never reply to. Surely if they already know we aren't interested then they should also know they are wasting their time and ours?
Quote by MidsCouple24We tend to ignore them to, for the same reason, give or take.
We get lots of friends invites, at least 2 a day, we ignore them, our profile says quite clearly that we only add people to our friends list after we have met them in person, so these people have already had their reply.
