Ah, you're a bit of a mongrel nation. A bit of Angle, Saxon, Celt, Roman and Viking, the truth be told. But I have to agree that it's rediculous you can't declare yourself to be English!
Jaysus, half the USA seem to define themselves as Irish! Go figure that one out!
Your metabolism slows down in your early to mid 30s.Just think when footballers tend to retire.
Anyhoos, the result is that your body doesn't process toxins as effectively and you will find that mild hangovers that used to last 2 hours, now have become 2 days of misery with nausea and back pain from your sugar levels dropping through the floor and kidneys blowing up like balloons to deal with the drink.
I'm afraid it just gets worse from here on in. You'll have to exercise and diet to maintain your health. No more free rides I'm afraid!
You'd wonder what's going on? Dictatorships collapsing in Africa and the Middle East. Communism all but disintegrated. Capitalism under threat from the banking collapse so that all they can do is print more money. Earthquakes in New Zealand and now Japan is also having a nuclear problem.
