- Maureen wrote the following in her column in The Guardian on March 10th 2006: I keep reading articles on how to exercise the brain. Crosswords irritate me; I can't think to order. Sudoku is as Sanskrit and card games are a bridge too far. I've had a bottle of ginkgo biloba on my bedside table since 2002, but the only mental exercise I get is figuring out how to line up the arrows on the lid in such a way that they can be opened by a short - tempered and short - sighted human with a very average IQ.
