    I presume there is a 20% loading on the premium simply because you were drawn to the name and rang them

    Hair dye won't do much for baldness tbh. You could... paint your scalp with it I suppose? That might look a bit weird though.

    Apologies.

    I remember the Just for Men ad. I just didn't remember correctly what Just for Men is.

    In fairness, unlike the ad for It's for Women, the Just for Men ads weren't "in your face".

    now what really annoys me is that gob****e that runs the quote devil ads!!!

    some eejit smashes his car blind drunk into a woman and child and gets banned for 3 years. Then this dickhead comes along and says, ah here' I'll insure ya!!

    Hey knobhead, the others wont insure him for a reason!!

    and there's cases where this has happened the these lads have reoffended!!!
    all while Mr selling houses in the Boom for 300% profit is telling you he'll get you into your sports car!!

    '4thelads.ie' clearly aren't fooling anyone with their marketing effort since no one seems to know who they are, unlike 'its4women' since they're supposedly based on the similar criteria and premiums. Its4women must have done something right since you can't help falling over their ads everywhere. That, or they're just throwing their money away on advertising.

    Those damn feminists! They'll be protesting Just for Men hair colouring next.

    On a side note, studied English Lit at uni, one of the 'I'm for equal rights for men' brigade emailed (brave lad) the department demanding to know why there was a women's lit course but not a men's lit.

    Long story short, the head of department read the email to the entire assembled year before pointing out that there was a men's lit course available at the uni, and it was called English Lit.

    He wasn't quite so loud from then on.

    So what's the difference between women's lit and English lit?

    It's similar to the relationship between equality and feminism.

    The difference is that you can study men's lit by taking any course you want. If you have a special interest in women's lit you'd either need to take 9 courses covering one woman each, or just take the handy pre-packaged one.

    English Literature is by nature largely the study of dead white men and their writings.

    Aw man, to be honest both courses seem like a waste of time to me.

    The gender of the author means nothing to me. Completely irrelevant. It's an insult to female authors to segregate them like this. Universities giving such courses should hang their heads in shame.

    I was with them for about 5 years. Omg they were terrible when I actually needed something. I have a 7 seater and to insure for a replacement vehicle of similar size was x amount more .. until I needed it and then I couldn't have it for more than a day, I couldn't transfer my insurance to any hire/garage vehicle without a E65 charge, they charged for administration that I was doing online.. good mother of fcuk, I got a proper policy for E80 more but far more grown up to deal with.. they just think women are thick and won't check the small print ( I didn't ) but for all you save initially.. it's 4 eejits :D

    That's a clever way around it.

    I'm impressed and slightly miffed at the same time.

    Feels like when you get outmaneuvered by someone who is better at football.

    You have to hand it to these insurance companies, in a way.

    Pricks.

    Unless you're a race driver for a living I fail to see how your occupation comes in to play with a car insurance policy. Those who drive more such as sales reps are covered by the annual mileage allowance.

    Well, if you are an actor or a musician, your insurance used to be loaded, if I remember correctly.

    I think that this was due to the risk of people in these jobs working late at night with an increased risk of accident driving home due to tiredness, reduced visibility and/or a few scoops after the show.

    I like the whole knowledge thing and sharing it things. Seems like something which has done good for civilization. :)

    It's still true I'm afraid, just the nature of the way things are that there are more men in the canon than women and a lot more dead white dudes than any other group.

    Mainly by virtue of the fact that they got the education and therefore did a lot of the writing once they were finished with theological arguments in the Middle Ages.

    That said, women produced a lot of the first noteworthy novels.
