    I'm not much of a drinker, another effect of hypothyroidism is your body's inability to metabolise alcohol normally which is why we either get drunk very quickly, throw up or really suffer for it afterwards!

    At uni, people were moaning about my favourite seminar dude, so I stood up for him and told 'em if they didn't read the readings and they got asked about them, it was their own tough luck for not doing it (and got thanked by another lecturer for having the guts to go against the rest - lazy bums they are). Just cos they can't be bothered to work doesn't mean we should all pick up their slack. .

    This warmed the cockles of my heart Elfen. It's always good to see someone not just to following the crowd.

    I've been to Leeds today for a conference on the future of housing. WHSmiths wanted to charge me £1.29 for a black pen. Do they think I'm rich? Bought a BIC from across the way for 40p!

    About 3% of the general population have hypothyroidism so it would be probably be a miracle if you did ;)

    Maybe you just cant drink very much :)
