How many women have 'fat' days and how many men understand these days? Their women look no different to them but to us, well, we may as...

Relationships are a bit of a minefield and probably the most sensitive area is that of the sexual relationship. This aspect of a couples lives will go through many changes throughout the relationship depending on circumstances, health and compatibility.

Virtually as soon as there were cars, there were car hire companies. The year was 1926 and a businessman had arrived in town in Nebraska. He would be staying for a few weeks and had arranged a date with a local girl. Desperate to impress, he borrowed a Form Model T from Joe Saunders.

The dating game is a precarious one these days. There is no uniform way of dealing with this obstacle to lasting happiness and anybody newly single will attest to the fact that it is a veritable meat market out there.

Ever been invited to a baby shower and wondered what on earth you could take as a present?
The baby shower is a very important event in a new mother's life. She won't realise it yet but this will probably be the last time she gets to see all her friends in one place without wearing a baby puke badge.
