The rest of my family have armchair-diagnosed my father as being on the autism spectrum. I’m fairly sure his lack of responsiveness is due to his hearing loss and the plain fact he doesn’t like his family as much as the friends he plays car

One friend at uni had his TV with him, but refused to pay the license fee, completely ignoring the numerous letters we all received. A couple of other friends in our halls hid it whilst he was gone for the holidays and left a fake letter in

So why would there be spikes during the night? And how do you explain the dip on days when they don’t cook?

Could it be that you passed the lice on to your new human companions? Fickle friends indeed!

That’s part of the issue, with consulting you’re forced to act and think like a company rather than an employee. It requires more research or hiring professional advisors. There’s potential tax benefits, but also corresponding legislation t

I started out at £21k and in 10 years haven’t reached the author’s starting salary! The real advice should be for everyone to relocate to the US
