Seb Coe> Not buying it. I mean, sure, the flag fuck-up may have been illegal but I don't think that Coe is personally responsible for everything every Olympic employee does!

I thought it was ridiculous too, then I realised it was probably intended to be given they are trying to point out how silly the law is.

that article about ADHD and not being able to buckle down and do 9-5 constant work, unless you get really engaged and just spend hours figuring something out. Sounds very familiar.

I don't drink coffee, but drinking relentless certainly helped me focus, I just assumed I was tired, maybe it was something else.

But I haven't pulled all nighters or been able to sustain more than 3 -5 hours on one has, even when totally into it

I'm not anything like ADHD, but DO work best in intense bursts of varying duration interspersed with lots of downtime (and plenty of sleep).

I suspect very few people are actually maximally productive or happy 9-5 grind style - it just suits the minion herders.

That quote about the dullest culture on earth may not be a fair description of how they raise children-- page down to Jeremy Pool's comments.
