Waqas A. — Wed, 20 May 2009 00:23:35 GMT

Do you think that diets such as Atkins and South Beach are sustainable for the long term? Or they like all other crash diets a one time weight loss tool?

Adult ADHD & Access to NHS Services

Roland — Wed, 2 Sep 2009 17:43:31 GMT

The few current adult ADHD services provide less than recommended minimum due to inadequate funds. It's certain too that demand will outstrip current capacity. Thus, AADD-UK is asking the Prime Minister to review current funding arrangements for adult ADHD, & to provide dedicated funding to ensure care complies with NICE & national priorities.http://petitions.number10.gov.uk/adhdadults/

No hangovers on holiday. Why?

Lighthouse Keeper — Tue, 14 Sep 2010 21:55:15 GMT

I suffer from hangovers just by looking at a pint, but take me somewhere hot and sunny and I can drink the night away and still wake up fine. Why?

Man of truth — Tue, 10 May 2011 00:32:53 GMT

He wrote this with his writing partner! In this book it was suggested to sleep in separate beds from your spouse if you can't get to sleep near them! Yeah if its a woman she could just divorce you for that! Bad advice (I forget exactly which of his books that was suggested in)!

Fate Threw Me A Curve Ball

H M. HOWES — Wed, 27 Jul 2011 11:06:28 GMT

Fate Threw Me A Curve BallHere it comes. You will either get it or you won't. I'm going to ask the question you've had sitting on the edge of your tongue for some time now but have been too afraid to let pass over your lips for the fear of making it so. Is my life over? How does he know this you say nervously whilst scanning the room with your eyes looking for any sign of hidden cameras and trying to adjust your body language or is he some kind of mind reader? Oh yes, maybe an alien who has taken me in my sleep and implanted some kind of device in my head. No, it is simple. I am you!Now I've gone and done it haven't I? You're back on those alien theories again aren't you but now a clone being the most certain explanation. It's only going to be a matter of time before I kill you and take over your complete life! Sorry you're wrong. It is none of the above although sometimes I do think that the idea of me being extraterrestrial is a popular notion with many of the people I meet. The truth is not so fantastic, as for the aliens that's another blog! In the year 2000 I contracted encephalitis and my life was turned upside down. All that I was or could ever be had changed over night! Hold it; I take back what I said about the above because sometimes I do feel like a clone. Not a very good one but one just the same. I'm me but not me; unable to do the tasks I always took for granted and hating myself for it. However the one thing I can always guarantee is that I will overreact to situations in an uncharacteristic way or that's what I tell myself. In truth my reactions are only amplified tenfold. Before you lose the will to live and start drowning in my self-pity never mind your own, STOP, because I have just remembered something which is a rare occurrence in itself and as such should be applauded and paid attention to. I've got a computer keyboard in front of me and I'm writing this to you. `So what' I hear you shout! Okay does this impress you more? I've also written a novel entitled `The Mark of the Gate' and people are buying it from Amazon as a kindle e-book. THE MARK OF THE GATE I'm running my own website http://www.hmhowes.com although if I'm being honest with a lot of help as computer literate I am not. Why this is all so amazing is because before my illness I was a mild dyslexic who only used a pen to put appointments in a diary; not a good read. The idea of using a computer was completely alien to me. The writing started as part of my rehabilitation and grew into so much more. I have to point out that from all the negativity and loss came a new beginning for me. It's time to go back to the question. Is my life over? The answer has to be an emphatic NO!

Body Sculpture BC6730G Exercise Bike

C. Russ — Sun, 8 Jan 2012 10:23:41 GMT

I have recently purchased this bike from Amazon, and I am hoping somebody could answer a question for me.Whenever I start using it within a few minutes I get E1 flashing on the screen with a beeping sound. The only way I can get rid of this is by turning the power off at the mains; when I plug it back in it happens again within a few minutes.Anybody know why/how to rectify this? Considering the reason I bought this bike was for the programs it is making it unusable.
