I furrowed my brow when someone on twitter said it's mad that Burton will play Villa in a West Midlands derby next season. Obviously, they're right as Burton is in the West Midlands but I had to look it up, having assumed it was always in Derbyshire due to its radio coverage.

No it's in Staffordshire. Chesterfield is in Derbyshire but they don't cover that. 

My gripe is that they have very few fans as a percentage of rams fans and to be honest I don't think many listen to Radio Derby anyway so why do we have to tolerate it. It's not about whether I'm pleased or not about their promotion etc, it's the fact that it's too much. 

Excessive coverage of BAFC on radio derby. 

Women and make up:

stupid crayon eye brows that make you do a double take, like wtf is that on your face? 

'Contouring'. What? You paint your face so it looks like you have cheekbones or a chiselled chin and no flab. I saw a girl at the match and from the front she looked like a model but from the side she looked like a hamster. It messed with my head. And she had the blackest thick eyebrows ever. Dumb. 

Pouty fat 'bee stung' lips. Eh? Who wants them? Drawn round the edge and plumped up like they'll pop. Makes me ashamed to be female with these air heads about. 

Oh and leggings with a short tshirt. Put it away, who wants to see what you had for your dinner. 

People who have private health insurance but still use the NHS because they don't want to pay the excess on their policy 

rather wait weeks and moan about it than cough up £100? Jeez

I'm impressed how eloquently you all speak about this topic. 

A couple of things I would like to share. A relative lost both her son and her husband and the GP offered immediate tablets. Her response fills me with admiration - 'no thank you, I'm not depressed, I am sad. I know why I am sad and tablets won't change that'. Depression is a medical, chemical thing. She now faces life in the way that nothing can happen that is worse than that and I love her and admire her very much for her absolute guts.

also, I had thyrotoxicosis and that is very bad for your mental state. Your mind races, you can't sleep, you can't stop your thoughts, you can't see reason, no concentration, frightened of everything. It's like being on a white knuckle ride you can't get off. I wonder now how I came through. My purpose for posting this is to offer proof that hormones (in this case thyroxine) can affect your mental state and its not always circumstances.
