Check out my boyfriend's bike:

Andy's Bike


Yeah, it's freaking awesome. It's called a "limo bike" or an "easy rider."
We're looking to sell it, and hopefully we can do well- according to the man in the local bike shop it's worth £200-£300!

Anyone have any ideas where we could sell it? Bike shops don't seem to be going too well (it was a prize, so we don't have proof of purchase).

Things you have done wrong:

- Giving me a graduate account
- Not changing it back to student, twice, even with proof
- Not giving me the overdraft I am supposed to have
- As a result of not having said overdraft, not paying my rent
- Charging me for not paying my fucking rent
- Locking me out of online and phone banking, twice, because you are shit. I know my password is right. I even WROTE IT DOWN.
- Not paying my rent even now, because apparently the password that I have NEVER CHANGED, even when I reset it TWICE, is apparently wrong. it was NEVER WRONG.

Thanks a lot, RBS. First time I get to the bank, I am closing my account. after paying my rent.


Anyway, that was my little rant. MERRY CHRISTMAS!

My friend Imogen can no longer speak :-(

We need to raise money for her to get a communication aid- about £7000, as all the NHS will give her is a piece of laminated paper with the alphabet on. (She's also dyslexic!)

Please look here: http://www.imogenmay.com/ and donate if you can. If not, at least spread the word.



I'm thinking of doing some kind of sponsored something to fundraise for her- any suggestions?

If you could only eat one kind of cuisine—Mexican, Thai, French, Italian, Indian, Chinese, etc.—for the rest of your life, which one would you choose?


View 506 Answers



It would have to be Italian. I absolutely LOVE pasta, I reckon I could eat it every day! I used to do pretty much that, but my boyfriend isn't so keen and prefers gravy dinners, so I make more of those now.

Choose Italian and you've got so many types of pasta... lasagne, canneloni, ravioli :-) AND pizza! It's all so good! And a mediterranean diet is very good for you and might even help you live longer. Sold!

Oh my gosh, and Italy has loads of Icecream too. Man, I should live in Italy...

My SSM title is the "history of the medicalisation of homosexuality."

While I've been writing this, I've discovered a lot of things that were very interesting, and quite often shocked me. While I knew homosexuality was not agreed with in the past, the depth of things that happened, and views of homosexuals, was incredible to me and often very shocking.
Because of this, and in light of the fact that (unbelievably) a "gay cure" conference is being held in London today, I thought I'd publish a few facts for people to see.

Feel free to ask me more detail, or enter into debate :-p
(Warning- some of this is very shocking)


Homosexuality was not seen as wrong until the monotheistic religions came about: Judaism, Christianity, Islam.
(Although being the receiving male partner was seen as shameful)

Sodomy (normally taken to mean anal sex) was illegal from the mid-15th century until 1967 in england.

The first person to label homosexuality as a mental illness was Richard Von Kraft Ebing in 1886. By the early 1890's, he had changed his opinion dramatically enough to sign a petition to abolish the anti-homosexuality laws in his country.

Darwin due to his theories of evolution, thought homosexuality was a problem in "object choice" of mating.

Freud never developed a coherent theory of homosexuality- he thought it was due to a problem with development, but also that it was no disadvantage. He also noted that it was very difficult to "cure".

It is estimated that around 50,000 homosexuals were convicted by the Nazi regime during World War II.
5,000-15,000 died in concentration camps.
Treatments were tried on homosexuals such as castrating them and injecting them with testosterone.

During WWII, the American Army rejected ~5000 applicants, and dishonorably discharged 4000 sailors and 5000 soldiers for being homosexual.

Alfred Kinsey published a paper in 1948 on the sexual behaviours of men, and 1953 on women. Two of my favourite quotes:
"the data in the present study indicate that at least 37 per cent of the male population has some homosexual experience between the beginning of adolescence and old age.”
“28 percent [of women] had erotic experiences to other women by the age of 45; 19 percent had some type of lesbian sexual contact by age 40.”

The American diagnostic and Statistical Manual listed homosexuality as a "sociopathic personality disturbance" from when it was published in 1952 until 1973.

In the 1960's attempts were made to cure homosexuals with aversion therapy- treatments included making subjects have homosexual fantasies and then switch to disgusting images, electric shock treatment and apomorphine to induce nausea. (One man died from choking on his own vomit.)
http://www.bmj.com/cgi/content/full/328/7437/427
Current consensus is that these treatments were nearly always unsuccessful, and often very damaging to the patients.
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10627791?ordinalpos=1&itool=EntrezSystem2.PEntrez.Pubmed.Pubmed_ResultsPanel.Pubmed_DiscoveryPanel.Pubmed_Discovery_RA&linkpos=4&log$=relatedreviews&logdbfrom=pubmed

Nearly all focus on homosexuality was male-male homosexuality- lesbianism was mostly ignored.

More and more research is being undertaken to prove a biological cause of homosexuality (have you seen the circular emails at KCL?)
Although how useful this is in the long run is to be debated.


Today a "gay cure" conference is to be held in London:
http://www.pinknews.co.uk/news/articles/2005-12074.html

A protest is being held against this:

Let me know what you think.

Everyone knows having a crush at the office or in class can make the time pass a little bit quicker. Is it better to keep your crush a secret or tell them how you feel?


View 501 Answers



Several things to consider here:

Are you single? If not (polyamory excepted) probably easier to keep it quiet.
Are you looking to actually get with them? This may factor when/how you tell them.
How well do you know them? If you don't know them that well, telling them might be a bit weird.
How do you think they will take it? If itd just be a nice compliment for them, yeah. If you'd weird them out, don't.

I have kinda a crush on my swimming coach. So many buff boys in speedos, so little time... and he's a medic, so he's smart too!

You Act Like You Are 18 Years Old



You are a teenager at heart. You don't quite feel like a grown up yet, but you don't feel like a kid.

You question authority and are still trying to find your place in this world.



You're quite rebellious, and you don't like being told what to do. You like to do things your way.

You have your own unique style, taste in music, and outlook on life.




Well, im progressing... last time I did it I got 15!

when your best friend, who you dont see much, lets you down again?

this is the third time she's arranged to do something with me and just not turned up. ironically she was the one who asked to meet up in the first place...
i got really pissed at her last time, didnt talk to her for a few days and she promised not to do it again... impressive that it made a difference considering i see her once a fortnight anwyway...

she said shed come see me today at 12, its now 10 to 3... ive phoned her and texted her and no reply... the most annoying thing is i just asked her to let me know if she couldnt come... id be happy to go see her if she couldnt get here... or if she just let me know without blowing me off...

what am i supposed to do now? im so annoyed about this, but i just wanna see her, i love her to bits.
