    Funny thread. I feel cheated though, I commute in London and have never seen any evidence of said cleavage!

    It's very unusual to find the air-bags have deployed themselves so-far in advance of a collision. :?

    That's going to ruin her modulus of elasticity :shock:

    I think she's in dire need of some coaching, and I know just the person :wink:

    Whereabouts do you travel through. Usually at least a couple of nice views in the Regents park area, esp round the Gloucester Gate corner heading South.

    thrown in for good measure. If the Jiggle is good enough will it have an effect of there FCN

    Oh really?

    Interesting.... :twisted:

    ok maybe not then. LiT I bow before you in sorrow at suggesting such a thing

    It was more a 'sees opportunity to go to FCN 8' reaction than anything else... :D

    I think 5% may be a bit too much as an average. I think some further research should be conducted over lunchtime :lol::lol::lol:

    From previous research it would appear that the larger of the two is the most likely to burst forth at an opportune moment. Surely when we are working out such matters, the probability of burstage should depend on the larger of the two?

    There was a young woman from Divises,
    Her norks were of two different sizes.
    One was so small,
    it was no use at all.
    The other was big, and won prizes.

    I don't think symmetry is necessarily an issue, although the mass certainly should be taken into consideration.

    Are we talking lateral movement as well? With insufficient support, a lady's Tshirt may start to look like it's on a spin cycle (pardon the pun). I have witnessed this, and also managed to avoid the oncoming tree.

    Woah there don't get ahead of yourself, I think more research is called for before any conclusions are drawn. :wink: Surely any supporting garment will be sized in relation to the larger of the two? Therefore would there not be less support and hence less resistance to an OOB than for the 'fuller' side?

    Hmmm, I would say that depends on whether we're counting highest wins, or a matching pair?

    And before the mods step in and destroy this thread, my congratulations to all posters, however, have pity on us poor souls whose ride is primarily on the business of the A40 in London, where eyeballs remain 100% on the road/cars/buses/psycho-RLJ'ing cyclists/motorbike fiends

    Repeat after me: I will not gawp, I will not gawp.

    On which note, what is correct procedure when identified as being too interested in the intricate stitching used on a laydeeez top? <<AHEM>> :oops:

    It's just a hill. Get over it.

    I just contacted Brianiac to see if they could help. Some Richard Hammond fellow answered and said that although he would like to help our research does not come within the term 'science abuse' and so we were on our own.

    He also said that he was a petrol head and if we don't stop our nonsense he would set Geronimo (possibly misheard) on us.

    ...now then, back to the weighting allowance. I suggested 5% as a total, rather than a per-side allowance. I wouldn't like to suggest that our laydees are listing to port like a ship in distress or anything like that. So, would the studious amongst us agree to a plus or minus 2.5% per-side allowance for weighting?

    Takes me back to Christmas 1978, when I was give the Jazz album by Queen [a gramophone record by crikey] and in it was a glossy poster of a load of naked young fillies on bicycles. Discretely shot of course. The weak links were the tracks Bicycle Races, and Fat Bottomed Girls, IIRC. Happy days. :)
