'Ello you lovely people :).

If any of you are interested in training your brains then you might want to download a game from the iTunes store called 'Peak', it is free. I assume you can download it for smartphones too.

As it is free, you are limited to certain things but you can choose to pay for a subscription.

That is all :).

Hi Matt,

My brain gets more than enough exercise trying to solve your riddles and caricatures than you very much ;-).

I tend to use Mahjong or snooker or patience to relax and gently stretch my brain. Not got much of one to stretch to be honest... although my recent neuropsyc assesment put a couple of above average scores in but also three borderlines (but they were expected because of area tumour has taken up residence).

Still I'll have a look on Playstore for smart phone/tablet. Always amazed at the number of free apps and games that only a few years ago would have cost £30-40 for a PC version.

Great thought.

Geoff.

PS is that the new cool you.. MJ

Hi Geoff,

Yes, MJ is what they call me on the street haha. Kidding. I don't know if you noticed but I sign my drawings with 'MJ' so now I am signing almost everything with 'MJ'. Comments/posts on here, emails, even when I sign my name after being delivered a parcel! Haha.

I realise that these brain games are not for eveyone :). Some people might want to chat on here, maybe solve one of my puzzles and then put their feet up but couldn't stretch their brain further.

I like Mahjong.

I do like snooker but it is pretty hard playing on a full size table. I stick to pool now. The pockets are much bigger and with snooker you have to get the angling dead right.

I like patience, I have quite a bit of parience. Some people have none at all.mor were you referring to the card game patience AKA solitaire? I like the card game too. I also like a game that is similar called 'Clock patience' or 'Clockwise'. I have recently started playing a game on the iPad called 'Word solitaire', that is a good game but requires quite a bit of thinking :).

I too like the free apps or cheap apps on Playstore or iTunes store. And what would have been £30-£40 like you said, rip off haha. Though a lot of these free games are limited and you would then have to pay for extra content but I prefer it that way than paying a full amount and realising you don't like it haha.

Take care,

MJ

The snooker app I play is cool because it has a shadow that show where the cue ball will go and where the target ball will and up in the 'easy mode' Highest break so far is 81. Oh and you can select a number of table sizes to suit your preference. I've found it just TOO much fun and am addicted.

It's called Total Snooker and comes in paid for (more options and free, my version) and is by Friendly Monster.

Take care MJ

Geoff.

Hi Matt. Thanks, now got Peak, never tried any games before, hope they work! K

I used to play Dr. Kawashima's brain trining on the Nintendo DS (video game) and I thought that was very good.

I do think these brain training games help out. Whether peoples' brains can handle it is a different matter though.
