    In a similar way to which my girlfriend uses "objectively speaking" before she launches into an entirely subjective rant with logic all to one side.

    A famous problem all men face:

    "For example, given the premise, "all fish live underwater" and "all mackerel are fish", my wife will conclude, not that "all mackerel live underwater", but that "if she buys kippers it will not rain", or that "trout live in trees", or even that "I do not love her any more." This she calls "using her intuition". I call it "crap", and it gets me very irritated because it is not logical. "

    Right lets get this debate going properly.

    This house claims "Women's intuition is bullsh*t".

    Discuss.

    The house has got it sorted, guv'nor.

    Women's intuition is naught but a way to fraudulently lend weight to what the rest of the world refers to as a hunch.

    Basically, it's rubbish. And I don't understand wy the world puts up with women spouting this garbage, your honour.

    Nope, I reckon its "I already have a pair and that's what I do......."

    Or is it "I also say what other Greg says", or perhaps "I put up with women spouting this garbage because of access to breasts"?

    Women have dual crap processors and can spout several streams of garbage simultaneously to several other women at any one time.

    A man is only able to focus on a single stream of garbage. However, the maximum bandwidth is greater and the garbage is more refined.

    In fact (and I mean FACT), I heard linsen isn't a teacher at a school, but in some horrible sex dungeon. At least that's what I heard.

    Now hang on there lady.

    What sort of totaliterian regime came to enforce such a ban?
    How on Earth did that particular thought process run?
    I'd say that was an infringement of some sort of basic human right or something.

    Or do your pupils all go on the rampage like some sort of ultraviolent version of ET?

    Ironically it is the perilous approach to the school which renders it unviable for mass cyclists

    Caused naturally by the fact hat so many parents drive their children there

    Caused in part by the ban on bikes

    Hang on a mo....

    Needless to say, not my decision....

    actually no

    I am trying to change thigs but it's tricky...

    Nowhere at present to put my bike, let alone 1600 others
    No cycle to work scheme available, even though I work for the government that is trying to encourage cycling

    Cycling not allowed to school?!!!

    Because all the school run Chelsea tractors made the roads a hazard?!!

    My god there's a Guardian news story if I ever saw one!

    In our little "City" of Truro, the traffic is at least a quarter of the volume when the schools are on holiday. Seeing a single child in a big 4x4 makes me go all red and angry.
