Thanks for the replies everyone, I've also been troubled with tiredness etc, although I think it is probably my mental health medication causing it. Maybe at least I will lose some weight, not being...

Hi there Jon, I do not wish to get involved in an argument between you and any others on here, but I will say my bit anyway.

In principle, yes. However there would have to be some form of tiered security to control who can access what. Here in the UK the government is slowly uploading everyone's medical records onto a new...

All I am saying is, why change one system that doesn't work in exchange for a system that makes things worse for a lot of people? isn't that a step backward?

Maybe it's different in America but here in Britain people are much more keyed in to those sort of things. Frankly I'm quite happy with my passport but if it had to have 'xy' written on it then I'd...

I certainly don't want my chromosomes recorded on any ID card for all to see. For me it is a private matter and I don't want to have to explain it all the time. I don't see what's wrong with all the...

I think you might be shooting yourself in the foot with that one. You can't choose your chromosomes, and like it or not, most people are quite ignorant; they will assume that XY=male and XX=female...

OK, back to the point!

What I was going to say was, to gain 7lbs you would have to eat 24,000 calories more than you expend, and it's just not possible in one day, and probably pretty difficult in...

Here in the UK it works a bit differently, first we have an area code (01234) and then the local number 123456.

So if the caller lives in, say, the (01567) area code, they must call 01234 123456 to...
