erm.. I was a labourer then painter and decorator when my biology degree failed to get me a job - I know a bit about diy and stuff but not really an expert unless you mean really old stuff. I'm currently renovating a 1750 farm cottage with original materials - anyone wanna swap limewash recipes?

That sounds lovely. You can put some pictures up of your progress :-) you aren't 'country living' it are you?

I'm not sure who else is DIY competent ... they are too busy down the gym maybe :-P

I wouldn't mind talking lawn drainage with someone. Mine is like a sponge.

Does the facility to retain muscle memory reduce as you get older? I have read somewhere that if you start training after 35 - 40 you will not develop muscle memory and even short breaks will need the same amount of training to get back to previous levels.

I'll ask Anthony, cheers

This is for the Doctor and I'm not posting this anonymously cos it makes me what I am and I love myself *awwww*

How can I find out if I have adult add? I took a few online questionnaires. It doesn't really bother me, I kinda like all the voices in my head :P and I like being constantly 'on the go' ad daydreaming - But just wondering if it even exists/has any major downsides etc? So far the only downsidesare that I sometimes confuse my day dreams with actual memories so I'll carry on a conversation with someone even tho they have no idea what I'm talking about. hats very rare, makes me a freak but only happens when I;m knackerd

Heh, well done for posting. To be honest this is one you're only going to solve with a face to face meet with your doctor, not through swapping a few notes via a message board. That is if you're bothered about it and it sounds like you aren't.

I SO couldn't be bothered reading all that!!



No, but yes.

If someone is talking to me for a while, I will just dream away and at some point, it will click that I have no idea what the other person has been saying or how long I drifted off for!!

heh heh i know, i hate going to doctors tho :( was just wondering what yr resident Dr thought cos theres a bunch of literature that says adult add doesnt exist, its just hyper personalities. thanks anyway
