Hi all and welcome to TheWoodHaven2 brought into the 21st Century, kicking and screaming! We all have Alasdair to thank for the vast bulk of the heavy lifting to get us here, no more so than me because he's taken away a huge burden of responsibility from my shoulders and brought us to this new shiny home, with all your previous content (hopefully) still intact! Please peruse and feed back. There is still plenty to do, like changing the colour scheme, adding the banner graphic, tweaking the odd setting here and there so I have added a new thread in the 'Technical Issues, Bugs and Feature Requests' forum for you to add any issues you find, any missing settings or just anything you'd like to see added/removed from the feature set that Xenforo offers. We will get to everything over the coming weeks so please be patient, but add anything at all to the thread I mention above and we promise to get to them over the next few days/weeks/months. In the meantime, please enjoy!

Well most voters have chose the right answer which is going for brisk walks. There was a brief flurry if interest that video games might help cognitive functions but the result of the original study have not been replicated by others. Doing a lot of cryptic crosswords just, well, just helps you do cryptic crosswords better and the same goes for most of the other poll items.
These ideas and others come from an interesting book called 'The Invisible Gorilla....and other ways our intuition deceives us'' by Chabris and Simons. One tidbit mentioned was that subliminal advertising never actually worked. There was no need for the UK to pass legislation! The original 'author' - if that is the right word to use - was in advertising and just wanted to come up with an idea to improve sales!
