And yet you understood what I meant originally Which would mean I speak properly, if not proper. Maybe I'm missing something though, aside from any jest in your original post.

I understood because I have Aussie mates and family on the missus' side Fish and Chippies just jars, it sounds like a gastropub owned by Rick Stein (where the chippys are indeed the carpenters) PS: emoji's aren't currently working on my current machine which I can't restart, so that may hinder the context of my posts (not to be taken entirely seriously) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't do very well but I'd still describe myself as more of a scientist than him 2) Becoming Supernatural, You Are The Placebo... such great scientific works and the pièce de résistance... 3) If it looks like a duck and walks like a duck.... You might be interested in Norman Doidge's work and book, 'The Brain That Changes Itself'. How is Dispenza not a real scientist? He studied a Bachelor of Science in his undergraduate studies. His postgraduate training covered neurology, neuroscience, brain function and chemistry, cellular biology, memory formation, and aging and longevity. From what I gather he was quite successful in his studies. He is also a qualified chiropractor. So has an understanding of neurology, anatomy and physiology. I have not read the book 'Becoming Supernatural'. So I can't comment on it. Have you? I am familiar with the notion to which he believes people can re-wire their thinking to experience new results though, there's nothing unscientific about his claims as far as I'm aware. Perhaps that's not the view held by every scientific professional, but that doesn't mean it's without merit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pompous lot at times. You understood because whilst different to your dialect, you understood the context in which I was speaking. I think whilst different in style, we are both as difficult to understand as each other. We have phrases like 'squidgy-didge', meaning 'have a look'. Utter nonsense. You have phrases like 'Bob's your uncle', which in context means.. I hope neither of us are taking the other as overly serious. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chiropractors have an understanding of brain function, the spine and central nervous system. Their study is not redundant in any discussion on the mind-body connection at all.

Stevo985 Posted August 21, 2018 VT Supporter Share Posted August 21, 2018 Personally, I really struggled to understand that by "Fish and Chippies", you meant "Fish and Chips". I thought you were eating Fish and Carpenters. Thank goodness you were corrected. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
