    Some folks would have it that ADHD doesn't exist and that these children (mainly boys) are merely exuberant, high-spirited, lively types, and they are medicated (often for years) merely to give their parents an easier time, day and night.

    Here's a pic - just because I like it! :)

    Hello Daisy! :) Have you ever wondered how Louis is able to drive if he cannot concentrate for very long? If his mind wanders.......:eek: He also plays those 'video' game thingies on his telly screen for many hours at a stretch.

    I came across this earlier, we must have been googling the same thing! Maybe your detective skills are rubbing off :) Although I bet you'll always get there first :mad::D:D

    Not sure about the driving, but I remember hearing that people with ADHD tend to excel at video games. Here's an article that talks a bit about it below.

    Aww, sorry, Lucy! :o If it helps, it was your first post of that girl's tweet last night, that has provided us with wonderful conversation about Louis' latest admirable project!:)


    This tweet makes me feel all warm and fuzzy. :*)

    I've seen that before but I love Louis' hair au naturel, no white scalp in sight. :) Note his cheeky mannerism towards Paul at 3.05! His lack of confidence is apparent and Paul has certainly helped with that! Lou was 19 (or nearly).

    Isn't that his alma mater? Surely there will be at least one pic. He's off to Austria next week so hope there will be many pics from there!

    Does anyone else feel sad looking at Louis' old dances? In fact it's a bittersweet feeling.....

    On cold, damp evenings, it is a joy to see Louis' dances on Strictly again and again - with the knowledge he won the series. He is the Champion :D
    Also, still loved all Louis' and Flavia's appearances on ITT.

    However, I can't watch the judges critcising Louis' paso doble or the American Smooth. Far too painful. :mad:

    I think it's just so great that Louis is still attending events like this. His humility is amazing. He has 3 Olympic medals & the glitter ball & could really be courting the gutter press & the zlebs but instead finds time for events that resemble my 12 year olds awards night! I love him :)

    ???s - Why he thinks politics is b......s, how many hours' sleep he usually has, what he cooks for himself, if he ever goes for long walks by himself, ever written a poem, what does he daydream about, why no pictures on his walls (in his old house), how would he cope alone on a desert island, most embarrassing moment...t.b.c.

    Oooh, good questions Korky ;) I especially like the ones about how much sleep he usually gets, if he ever goes for long walks by himself, written a poem, why no pictures on walls, etc......in fact, all of them! :p I think they go to the heart of one thing I'd really like to know, and that is, how reflective is he as a personality? Does he think about life a lot? I certainly get the impression he does :) In fact the luscious Louis is an amazing mixture of action man, sex object and thoughtful individual.........:o:cool::D
