I can't drink for medical reasons. For some reason since I developed a chronic condition my body has decided that I have roughly the alcohol tolerance of a Muslim toddler. I used to drink, never a huge amount, but suddenly noticed that I couldn't really drink a glass of wine without becoming...

And of course if the homosexual individuals in question are not raising their own offspring then they have more time to devote to the offspring of relatives. This could either take the form of providing more food or other resources than the parents would be able to gather alone or 'babysitting'...

Some research has seemed to suggest that the genes which lead to homosexuality in men may lead to increased fertility in their (maternal) female relatives. Thus, even though it does not directly benefit the individual in reproductive terms, if there is a 'gay gene' then it could have survived...

Have you ever tried doing that? Most people when they read medical books of any sort recognise parts of themselves in every disease listed. It's very easy to convince yourself you have a condition (physical or mental) from reading the diagnostic criteria.

I have an unhealthy obsession with shoes. I'm very good at hiding my emotions (British stiff upper lip!). I drink enough tea to drown a small elephant every day. I wear corsets a lot and long skirts. Oh and I have bright purple hair... maybe not such an English gentlewoman afterall...

My friend has had this problem, she keeps being sent to different doctors who keep diagnosing her with different things, it normally flips between BPD (Borderline Personality Disorder) and Bi-Polar but the latest doctor doesn't think she's Bi-Polar and doesn't believe in BPD so hasn't given a...

I don't cross dress (Unless existing in my boyfriend's hoody and baggy jeans counts? Thought not...) and nor am I a gamer. I think my boyfriend might be though, he's been staring at that screen for ages and keeps muttering about getting better armour(!?) so I assume it is some sort of game. He...

... Sorry, trying to make sense of that but the complete lack of spelling or grammar makes it a bit tricky. I know I'm not the best in the world at spelling but I can at least spell 'women'. I find it really quite offensive that you would suggest that all women on this site are in some way...

I'm the same. Although I can legally drink and have been able to for some time I don't like the loss of controll that comes with being drunk. And because I drink rarely and in small ammounts my tolerance is amazingly poor. That being said, I do like a beer or glass of red wine on occasion. My...

I can't cope. If there are two sounds in a room I have to listen to the loudest one so normally I keep the TV to just below speaking volume (figuring it's better to ignore the telle than someone who is trying to talk to me). The other day someone had managed to set the TV volume to the exact...

I always wear a watch on that wrist, but the tattoo is about 5cm square so a watch won't cover it. But sometimes you just can't wear long sleeved shirts, because it's too hot or something, and sweatbands aren't always appropriate for work either.

Don't get wrist tattoos, seriously. I have one on the inside of my left wrist which actually means something to me and couldn't have gone anywhere else but most of the people I know who have something similar just have them for the hell of it. Plus they're -really- hard to conceal if...

Agreed. She was just too gutless to end things properly, be mad for a bit and then get over it. Move on and find someone better.

Also, what is the deal with American cheese? Why don't Americans eat proper cheese for crying out loud?! Come to the UK and we will teach you about cheese that isn't a radioactive yellow colour or in a can.

Really don't worry. I came to University scared out of my mind about meeting new people and making friends. I'm just about to start my second year and I'm living in a house with two really close friends who I met randomly and the love of my life who was in my tutor group, started out as a close...
