Honey trap 'flirts' wanted... Now, I know that I suffer from low self-esteem sometimes, and that completely distorts how I act throughout the days, but surely having to employee a company to test the fidelity of a partner takes it a little far. Partnership is based upon trust but at £50 per hour, that's a costly commodity to survey! Are we really that bad at detecting dishonesty? Surely, if we are honest with ourselves then it is pretty obvious? Oh, I forgot, the low self-esteem skew... now I understand. Why not profit from other people's ailments?! Makes me mad! How's about setting a 'real' honey trap?
Private Lynch signs $1m book deal

GETS MY GOAT! Honestly, this young piece of canon fodder (I don't think she was even that) doesn't even remember much about her ordeal and they give her a $1 million book deal - I bet she doesn't even write the book.... oh yes, just read the article. How far would $1 million go in the supply of essential drugs for Iraqi babies? It's immoral.
Hole-in-one at the double

Superb! I'd rather win the lottery though!

BBC NEWS | Health | Jazz stars linked to mental illness

There's a theme today... of course, there is an upside to everything. You can't under-estimate the power of mental illness. Einstein was a manic depressive, and numerous other people responsible for the great paradigm shifts over time have all suffered in the same way. It seems to be their lot! Of course, Richard P Feynman was an exception. An absolute genius and great bongo player, and we can all apreciate great bong playing!
BBC NEWS | Health | Three million follow Atkins diet

3 million people eh??? that many people must consider this to be slightly beneficial....... It seems everyday someone is weighing in with a pro/con story about the diet!!!
BBC NEWS | Health | Negative thoughts 'make you ill'

Again its all relative!!! We all need to sit back and stop over analysing our lives!! Be greatful for what we've got i reckon......hell it could be worse in another life we could have been a serf during Stalin's purges......somehow i think our modern creature comforts more than make up for the lack of hardship.......or is it just me? Positive Mental Thoughts will stave off illness, however its still a man's perogative to behave like a complete wimp at the slightest hint of a cold...........and the Lawrence Olivier Award for overacting in the role of a sick man goes to..........................
Obsessive-Compulsive Foundation

How amusing the Obsessive Compulsive Disorder Foundations website is possibly the maddest cluttered site on the web, how soothing that must be for people who have to fold towels three times and make sure the angles are all at 90 degrees before they leave the house!!!

I've decided to compile a list of blogged sites of all the little neuroses i think i suffer from to one extent or another!!!
BBC - Mental Health - Bipolar Disorder Part I

Hmmm...... are there degrees of bi polarisation??? I'm sure most of us experience fluctuations of 'high' and 'low' i guess the secret is to recognise this facet of your personality and endeavour to not sink to low on the downward spiral.......but hey afterwards your virtually guarenteed to come back up again!!!
