Haha, in Australia goon is the cheap wine you buy in boxes rather than bottles, so I was imagining 5 minutes to down an entire 5 or 10 litres

More than just ADHDers, but… Thought this was just normal life

Thanks - missed that part

How do they know there wasn’t a trading system back then though?

Kangaroo tends to either be really good or really bad, nothing in between. Probably down to the quality of the chef, hence why I never cook it at home

Crocodile can be a bit hit and miss. Supposedly ‘tastes just like chicken’ but there was an extra flavour I can’t describe.

Basically they’re seeing slower speech overall: “Instead, overall reaction time – the raw speed of pulling any word – stood out as the best indicator. The finding nudged attention back toward general processing speed.”

Near the bottom of this article it mentions that WFD isn’t the thing, but instead reaction time. Either way this does require an expert opinion

UK and Australia I’m originally from the UK but lived in Aus for 20 years. I returned to the UK a year ago due to my Mom getting a terminal diagnosis.

In the UK I’ve had two GPs this year due to moving around. First GP you’d request appointments via an online form that was available for about an hour at the start of every day and they’d send you a date and time once they’d triaged all the requests. Usually got in within a day or two. Second GP requires a call, and you can book an appointment provided it’s not a busy day, again usually 2-3 days depending on how busy they are. Both GPs were via the NHS, so no upfront cost, just a small amount taken from your pay each month.

In Aus, my GP was free at the point of delivery. It was pretty easy to get appointments and if you really wanted to see him, you could just turn up and wait until he could fit you in. Sometimes a 2 hour wait, but you could put your name down and return in 2 hours. I’m planning to change GP when I get back so will probably end up finding one where you pay an additional fee. There’s almost no doctors where you don’t pay extra any more.
