And with my moderator's hat on: Discussing supplements on their own merits and exchanging personal experiences is fine of course, but there is no need for any reference to other forums. All references to other forums will be removed from this thread, as they are not relevant and likely to...

That has been exactly my approach. I will be coming up to 5 years of ME at the end of this year. I've been keeping daily data for the last 3.5 years, and after reviewing it and how I have been doing this year I think I'm ready to claim that I have significantly improved, and may write about it...

Has he actually read it?

A rather fluffy, waffly article, containing a few of my favourite alarm-bell phrases such as: And when something isn't beyond doubt, it's all maybe, possibly, "iffy" (yes, he really said "iffy"), "much remains to be learned" non-commital waffle. Here's another "secret" you may not be aware...

Yes, that's why I said that the epigenetic model is so limited, it neglects gravitational wave theory. If you stub your toe hard enough it sends out a gravitational wave which causes a space-time distortion in exactly the way you describe. I will be publishing a paper in the Bristol Echo...

He just stops reading these days (when he hears that word you mentioned). Lapses in logic are explicitly welcomed - how do you think BPS theory progresses? The epigenetic explanation is so last Thursday, and fails to explain those cases where ancestral trauma is transmitted after the genes have...

Well I teach English to a 70-year old Jewish lady, both of whose grandfathers died in concentration camps, and she's as fit as a fiddle and bright as a button. How many people whose ancestors suffered trauma are not chronically ill? How does the incidence of chronic illness of people whose...

Neuroscience innit?

I used to have the flu jab every year. Last time I had it, I got the flu that winter, so now I don't bother.

What? No "Cooking with Wonko" thread this year?

No. So that makes you quite special really.

Well done, you sound like just the kind of customer we're looking for. I'll have a rummage, I think I might have just the thing - they're not cheap, but I'm sure I'll be able to make you a special offer.

How bulky are you? It's an old sofa and not as stable as it was. Perfect for ranting about Jamie Oliver and many other subjects though.

I'm on my sofa. I'll let you know when we put it on ebay. It'll probably be after the kids have left home, but I've made a note of your interest.

Go straight to the top of the class! I'm rare too! Anyone here not rare? If Architects and Advocates are rare, there must be type which gets told "You are as common as muck". Anyone found it yet? Come on, who are you?

"Neuroscience" sounds seriously scientific. Is it one of those words like "Nutritionist" which anyone can use? I don't suppose we could ask the ASA to get them to change it to "Oxford Psychobabble", or even "Oxford Quackery"? "Dr Sharpe, Head of Quackery, Oxford" has a certain ring to it. Why...

TiredSam's Software Development Academy Final Exam Task 1. Design a program which starts with a questionnaire asking the user to answer a series of subjective questions about how they see themselves 2. The program should use these answers to construct a text which confirms the user's view of...

I just did it. I'm an architect. Amazing. Apparently I'm the bitterest of cynics, which is probably why I still think it's a load of bollocks. Fun though, like having your fortune told or astrology or anything else where it's all about me. I wish it didn't have the status it did and that...

I've long thought that the field of personality testing is a pile of steaming horse shit, so I enjoyed reading this article.
