Who should represent TheSite?

This question has led to some humorous, but also interesting suggestions on the discussion boards this week.

Simon Amstell and Alex Zane are two sound suggestions in my opinion , while Abi Titmuss and Bernard Manning will probably be waiting forever if they ever thought we might call them.

Surely Russell Brand is a hot contender, isn't he? Well not if Bri-namite's views are representative of the majority. He said: Russell Brand is "Talentless, unfunny and waaaay over-rated."

Gambling vox pops

Have a listen and a read of our latest vox pops where we asked you about your gambling likes and dislikes. Personally, I just stick to a game of polker using 2p coins, much less stressful. Although I am partial to a game of Bingo, but only when visiting Blackpool or somewhere like that - it's far more acceptable playing Bingo up north than down south don't you think?!

You may also want to read our latest rant about liberalism, which has caused quite a stir in the politics and debate thread.

Gambling and you

We've published a new FAQ on gambling with the help of Adrian Scarfe at GamCare. It has lots of great advice if you think you have a problem with gambling, or know someone else who may have one. The fact sheet also offers advice on how to deal with a relapse and any withdrawal symptoms you may go through - something you may think is only related to people giving up drink or drugs.

You can also hear the whole interview by clicking on the audio link.

From size 0 to annoying friends

One of our readers has written in to have a go at anyone who's trying to get into size 4 UK/size 0 US clothes. I watched the programme with Louise Redknapp with interest - someone who was already under 8 stone that ended up under 7 stone with smaller boobs, bad skin and mood swings. There's no way I'd go through that just to squeeze into something my 12 year-old cousin could wear... bring on the chocolate and carbs!

From hero to size 0

So many of our readers talk about friends who aren't really doing their job - if you're mate is blabbing all of your secrets to the world, insulting your wardrobe or generally making you feel like s**t, well here's our guide to sorting them out. Thankfully I did my friend fung shui some time ago...

Friend or foe?

It's all about sex...

We decided to venture to new pastures for this month's vox pops to ask you where you thought you got the best sex education? Was it from school, your parents, or did you simply get to see your mate having sex in a park? For one of our vox poppers, that's exactly how he found out:

The birds and the bees

What is it you worry about the most? We spoke to sex and relationship psychologist, Dr Petra Boynton, who's answered the top ten concerns about sex...
