Being the cynic ( realist ) I am, there is no way that any premiums will be reduced as a result of this ruling.

The insurance companies were never going to lower mens quotes to be inline with womens, even Stevie Wonder could have seen that.
But now that the European Court of Justice has made this ruling (which really grips my shit because as far as I am concerned we have an elected Parliament to set our laws for us, we are not Europeans) how long before someone campaigns about age discrimination?
If it will be made illegal for an insurance company to discriminate according to gender, then surely by the same logic, a 25 year old with 3yrs NCB should have no different quote than a 40 year old with 2yrs NCB?

If you look back to St3v3 post on page 3 you will see this;

How many existing members are free members?
If you mean free for life, around 345,000
I think that pretty much confirms its.

What st3v3 does not confirm, is how many of those numbers are real. The site claims approx members, yet the forum stats show that the record amount of members online is 336. Looking at the homepage now, the site claims there is 655 members in chat.
For obvious commercial reasons, the site needs to show that it is popular and busy, but the members stats shows how many accounts have been created, it does not show how many are spammers that have been deleted (deleting the account does not affect the system recognising that the account has been created) it does not show members who have been banned, or who have asked for their account to be deleted.
The numbers that st3v3 has quoted, are taken from site/system records, they do not reflect true site activity, so therefore the quote of 345,000 is (IMO) a far from accurate reflection of site traffic which takes advantage of free membership.

To the people who feel cheated a little by having to pay when there are free members getting the same as they do...
If you went to a club ( I will take a single female as an example) it's highly likely you would be entitled to free entry...
A single guy would be charged anything from £30 to around £50 ( in there parts at least) ..
Now you will have access to exactly the same facilities as he does yet you will get them for free...
Would you turn round and say "Hang on......I'll pay half whatever his entry fee is as I don't think it's fair he pays and I don't" ?
I've never yet seen a single female make that offer.....
I know it's a bit of an out of kilter example but it is an example of someone paying for something that someone else gets for free.....

Well said.

I have been here a little while now, and although I have had a good time.
I did however join this site as I believed everyone here would be a paying member, we looked at free sites at the time and we choose to pay, but I don't believe we were given all the facts.

When you were looking at joining this site, did you give a single thought to the possibility that not everyone was a paying member? And having looked at the site, realised you decided to pay, would you have gone through with it if you knew there were non-paying members here?

I'll take the hard place please ... :grin:

That would be my head then. Most people who visit there find it a hard place to be ;)
Sure you're not confusing hard with thick again Widey? :mrgreen:
Quite spooky seeing you pop up in here.
I thought of you today while I was in a supermarket. I thought they had named a loaf of bread after you, then I looked again and saw it actually said 'Thick Cut'.

so i hope SH listen to me and gary aswell as the disgruntled paying members smile

But we are in the wrong here apparently......
No not at all essex wink It is the site in the wrong for not treating it's members fairly, yes free membership is all well and good but when things inflate and others have to pay for it ....
I can understand all the points you are making, but lets put the boot on the other foot.
Say you were one of the free members, would your sense of fairness remain?

A fair point well made so lets make another and Tweeky can be all officious lol Thats got images of kids in it so its gonna be gone fairly soon mwaaaaaa ha ha ha ha ha ha

Are you for real?
As far as I remember images of kids are a no no.
If they were identifiable then I would very strongly agree with you. The comment that I quoted is either a case of you are appalled at the picture that I have taken and my actions in posting it, in which case why can't you just come right out and say so, rather than doing it in a snide way or it is a case of you made that comment to stir it to make sure that it is highlighted to a mod, without you looking like a tell-tale.
Either way, I shall wait with interest my interaction with the mods.

That sounds like a reasonable and measured response rather than the childish jibes and gloating that normally pass for comment in parliament ....

Quoted, for humour.

it's almost like the clubs do the whole holy grail thing too.

Since when did the Word Association game fit in the Holiday forum? No wonder I haven't been able to find it for ages - I don't go on holiday so no need normally to visit that forum :-?

The song game is in the dogging section, I'm guessing one of the mods is unable to handle their alcohol and should keep away from the keyboard when they have been on the fool's sauce.

As much as I hate to say it, I think the clampers were right.

Seconded.
I would hazard a guess that somewhere on the permit it states that it is to be displayed correctly, it wasn't, she got clamped.
Then the taxi drivers then stopped the clampers going about their lawful business. What a waste of police resources.
And WTF was she doing out of the kitchen in the first place???
Manfrotto or Giottos are the obvious choices, due to their quality.
However, to throw another (relatively unknown) name into the ring, try Redsnapper.
I bought one of their tripods after some very good recommendations, and got one of their shoulder bags too, the quality is excellent, and the cost is a lot less than the main players.
I honestly think you can't go too far wrong with this deal:
That people will leave the scene, so stop hesitating, and just go for it.
Quote by Bluefish2009
Is this really true? Maybe its more prominent in certain area's. I have not encountered this kind of feeling in our part of Dorset

The trouble there is you are referring to Dorset.
The same question put to someone from London, Birmingham and other large cities with a strong ethnic influence may answer differently.
