Scottish Independence? We Are Better United - I'm Betting My Life on It

If Scotland becomes independent would I still be able to be referred to hospitals in England? I can't take any chances, and at the moment while I would prefer to stay put in Edinburgh, I'm looking to relocate to the vicinity of the hospital that is willing and able to treat me, in London.

More Midwives Needed for Baby Boom Britain

We are in an age of austerity, of course. But the government often boasts that the NHS budget has been protected, and surely if there is any group that should be shielded from the brunt of any cuts it is newborn babies. Continue reading...

The King's Mistress

When she wrote her memoirs of her life as the most powerful courtier at Queen Anne's court, Sarah, Duchess of Marlborough lamented that, "Women signify nothing unless they are the mistress of a prince or a first minister." Sarah may or may not have been Queen Anne's lover. Continue reading...

Lady Gaga Goes on a Diet - So What's All the Fuss About?

In preparation for her Born This Way Ball world tour, Lady Gaga is apparently following a diet that consists of five small meals a day. Although the tabloids seem to be concerned for the star's rapid weight loss, with headlines such as 'Lady Gaga is Poker thin', the diet plan that she's alleged to be on doesn't strike me as one to cause too much alarm.

Intellect Should Mean More Than Good Looks

Although some of us strive to fight off the middle-aged spread, grey hairs and fine lines, it really is what's inside that counts. It is for this reason that we need to look beyond the appearance of our female elders in the public eye. Continue reading...

Goodbye Ceefax

I have not used Ceefax in at least 10 years, and after today, I never will be able to again because it is going away. To make an inside joke, if you were to go to page 606 now, you would find it to be completely blank, a fact that has somewhat unnerved me. Continue reading...

Living Together Is Different When You're Older

When I was 18, I moved in with my first love. This was the late 1960s and as much as I loved him and he loved me, we both knew that we were too young to get married. Living together served many purposes, not the least of which was to seriously piss off our parents. Continue reading...

The Pleasure of Solitude and Nature

I had somebody ask me recently in a most astonished voice why I had moved back to Finland after almost 20 years abroad. It made me laugh. That a Finn should ask such a question, how typical! A Spaniard would've asked me how come I managed to survive so long away from Spain, the best country in the world! Continue reading...

Why Aren't Eating Disorders Recognised Earlier?

Eating disorders and bad habits associated with them are noticeable before a person gets to a dangerously low weight.

The Power of Introverts

Some of our greatest ideas, art, and inventions -- from the theory of evolution to van Gogh's sunflowers to the personal computer -- came from quiet and cerebral people who knew how to tune in to their inner worlds and the treasures to be found there. Continue reading...
