Thanks Doc. I spoke with a cousin who is a Prof of Medicine (although she focuses on virology and microbiology, not cognitive neuroscience) and she said currently there's no conclusive evidence as to the exact reason why; but she was thinking it is largely inherited. So, we're more in the ball park of phenotypic and genetic heterogeneity, rather than chemtrails...and, I so wanted it to be chemtrails :lol:
I saw this article on The Guardian and thought of you - not a whole lot you haven't seen before I suspect but interesting that the topic is being discussed more

Cheers for that Doc. Good read. I could really relate to the anger and anxiety, happy to report feeling more zen since the diagnosis 8)

It is also the 100 year anniversary of the 'peck order' (or the first study on social dominance is published by Thorleif Schjelderup-Ebbe) and changed the course of studies into animal behaviour forever.

Superb win for Ireland v West Indies in the famous Sabina Park in Jamaica to win ODI Cricket Series 1-2 away from home and with the captain, Balbiernie missing the final two games due to Covid.

This is one of the outstanding Irish sport's performances of recent years from one of our 'cinderella' sports.

Well done to all involved

This is a Leinster forum RTBs, we all know what ODI means. How dare you mansplain us!
Here are some other often used Cricket abbreviations:

DNB Did Not Bat
NO Not Out
C Caught
LBW Leg Before Wicket
B Bowled
ST Stumped
RO Run Out
HW Hit Wicket
RH Retired hurt
HT Hit Twice
TO Timed Out
HB Handled Ball
OF Obstructing the Field
RT Retired
RTNO Retired Not Out (used for compulsary retirement)
ABS Absent (the system will record this as loss of wicket)

I don't usually post random articles on this site but found this one fascinating about treatment for injuries, often acquired years ago in rugby or other sports. Really well written and recently revised, this is a fascinating read:
