I've often thought about it as an alternative to alcohol for people with liver damage but apparently it can damage the liver also. Even so this buzzfeed article is a very interesting account by an alcoholic who reckons it helped her qu

This reminds me of the famous Huey Long quote: "One of these days the people of Louisiana are going to get good government - and they aren't going to like it." If there ever is a 'paper' that publishes the full unv

And how are we to decide which journals and journalists to give money to?

It's up to the Guardian, not up to us. The press didn't arise in the first place because of people feeling it was something they should support. It filled a need.

Paraphrasing some French commentator, the problem with referendums is that the electorate don't necessarily answer the question asked. Voters often like to give a government a kicking mid-term.

I totally agree with your point about how they make the country seem smaller, it's my main gripe about them. I also feel like mountains were were about the last place we hadn't domesticated apart from the odd telecoms mast but now

Having published research is a required part of the cv for many jobs. There are a lot of researchers out there who view it as a necessary evil. They'd be unlikely to put their heart and soul into it. And that's before you even get

That's what drives me crazy about 'findings' like these that we're being presented with, every day. For example when comparing mortality rates of drinkers and non-drinkers, the fact that a lot of non-drinkers are former

Like jumpcrisscross said. Ideally, where every euro of taxpayers' money goes should be a matter of public record.

Aren't you the best placed to decide if your money is wasted or well spent?

I disagree. Let me give you an example. Some years ago,the irish police had a grievance, they were paid less pay for holidays than normal working days. This was because when on holiday they were just receiving their normal salary and weren

The optics are good but it's effectively useless in determining whether money is being spent wisely or not. It only gives a very high level picture. It would need to allow one to go a whole lot deeper for people to be able to work out

A recent story in Europe was that travellers entering the US could be forced to reveal social network passwords. No idea if that is true or not but it was a headline.

Thanks but I don't know if it is or not. The steps you mention apart from the last are all to do with protection in case a phone is stolen. I suppose what really concerns me is someone hacking my phone through some kind of malware. If

I'd like some advice about safely accessing gmail from your phone. In particular an android phone that might not have the latest version of android on it. Also for situations where not only do you access your gmail from your phone but

In the mid 80s the route I occasionally flew was monopolised by the national airlines of each country. There wasn't a penny difference between their fares at about ten times the usual fare today. Most people went by coach instead, a 12

No? If I went into a store to complain and my first words were "what kind of shit have I bought here?", then I don't think I'd have any cause for complaint if I were forcibly ejected and told to come back when I'd l
