if im on my own, i lose the confidence in that situation. I find it unnatural so dont know how to react other than to scamper to somewhere where i wont be bumped
I have no such problem, but I'm not the best looking chap in the world so after a few hours of dancing I inevitably look like a crackhead in cold sweats - few girls seem to go for that look.

Ah, the people-pointing-and-laughing-at-you thing... My condolences...
Perhaps.
Fortunately I've never noticed anyone openly laughing at my I'm-too-fucked-to-care-dancingTM and I don't see why they would - the only way you'll look truly bad is if you're uncomfortable as it shows immediately. I dance because I enjoy it, who cares what others think? Simples.
Actaully, there was a point where some girls were "trying to get my attention" that were actually annoyingly bumping into me. I had to move. I only have eyes for you Joe.
I only had eyes for the girl I arrived with despite a few trying to get my attention. Why does that not happen on nights when I'm not with a girl?
abouthebike, I arrived at 2.30 and we thought we'd missed Sasha, maybe didnt play?

I just learned (about 10 years late), that more veterans of the Falklands War killed themselves in the years since the 1982 conflict than died during the war itself.
This has blown my mind.
Suicide is the most common cause of death for young males in the UK (well, first or second most common cause, depending on the year and method of sampling).
Britain suffered 258 casualties during the Falklands war. I can't seem to track down exactly how many served to work out a percentage, but I think this statistic would be less impressive when compared to the percentage of men that would have killed themselves anyway.
Still, it's sad that anyone would take their own life after risking it to serve their country.

SW4 was a-ma-zing!
I went to the SW4 afterparty at Electric Brixton...
What an absolute shower of cunts. It felt like I was back at uni and in a student union. Women looked lost and tired, the men looked lost and angry, as if going to a club was a very new experience to all of them. It made for an awkward atmostphere as my dancing got progressively more outlandish as the evening progressed whilst others went in the opposite direction. Towards the end, the girl and I were the only ones enjoying ourselves.
At 4.30 when pete tong started, the dance floor was half empty.
I went to Cable afterwards for the 8am to 1pm session, when I recognised half the people in the queue from SW4 I decided me and my lady friend would just go home.
I'm 24 and even I feel there is something wrong with the youth of today, they need to be less concious of what other people are thinking and just dance.

I forgot to take my 'cure' for two days and got a hideous hangover yesterday, coupled with a raging boner, right in the middle of Asda. It was awful. Full on Fear sweats.
I dosed myself on my return, then got drunk.
No hangover this morning.
You didnt mention this as a side effect, or was it unrelated?
If the latter, which aisle were you in?

Meeting a girl for a few drinks in Baker Street. I don't know that area at all, any suggestions for a decent bar or pub?
I met the girl whilst off my face in a club so I'm looking for somewhere pretty chilled as I'd quite like to talk to her whilst I'm not battered or coming down. Somewhere not too busy, quiet side street etc etc
Good answers get first dibs on our first born son.

I used to be a runner. I ran the London Marathon 2010 and the Bath Half Marathon either side of it. The second time I ran the half I picked up a knee injury that has prevented me from running for the past year and a half (it's the reason I started cycling).
I went to a physio for the first time yesterday evening. I'm so excited at the prospect of running again. My goal is to someday run the London Marathon again, and this time get sub 4 hours (4:04:11 the first time, so close!)
This is just a gentle reminder to everyone to appreciate each and every injury-free stride you take.

Bump for an excellent read.
I would not have been as calm during this. Whenever my old Audi was off the road (it was held together with duct tape and zip ties so this was quite often) I could think of nothing else until I'd fixed it. Unfortunately I insisted on always doing the work myself as cheaply as possible so this was always a lot longer than it ever needed to be.

Someone has set up Facebook using my email address without me knowing. Obviously I cannot log on as I do not have the password. Is this something that FB does automatically to get me to use it or should I be worried about someone pretending to be me? Does anyone know how to report it to them to get the account closed?
If someone were pretending to be you then I dont see why they would use your email address to setup the account. I wouldnt worry if I were you.

If someone has a car stolen, the police immediately circulate it's details and take to the highways in a swarm of investigative efficiency to track it down.
If someone has a bike stolen, it's like yeah whatever bruv, fill out dis form yeah.Just to play devil's advocate - a stolen car is much more likely to be used in another crime than a stolen bicycle, it may be used for a robbery or joy ridden through residential streets at 70mph. The average car is also worth many mulitples of the average bike, and police typically don't give a fuck about petty theft of low value goods such as bikes, phones, watches etc etc. They know they're near impossible to trace, whereas with ANPR they stand a very good chance of tracking down a stolen car and returning it to the owner.
Don't get me wrong though, I still hate the filth.

I realise this wont go down well at all, but does anyone else have trouble keeping weight on?
Unless I conciously make an effort to eat three solid meals a day I get stupidly skinny, even if I cut back on gym / cycling. I find eating takes too long and requires too much effort, especially when you're busy - is this the beginning of an eating disorder or do I just need to eat more cake and drink less espresso?
edit: I'm 6', 70kg and when last checked 3 months ago 11% bodyfat. The physician told me to gain weight back then and I was 4kg heavier.
