Hmm... well I pretty much gave up chocolate in 1990, I eat ice cream only occasionally (and detest vanilla -- no really) and my attitude to roast meat has led more than one person to conclude (falsely) that I'm vegetarian. Currently fuming that, owing the suspected FMDV case 8 miles up the road all those healthy exercise-full activities that I enjoy are currently outlawed, giving me nothing to do but gawp at my computer for even more hours of the day/night. Ob B7: Well, certainly several of Our Heroes could have done with dieting. Tavia

When doing meta-analyses or similar (ie attempting to pull together the results of multiple independent studies) four things appear to be essential: (0) to formulate the precise question or questions *in advance*; (1) to decide on tightly defined criteria for study inclusion and exclusion *in advance*; (2) to collect ALL studies that fall within the criteria (including those not published in English) by several different exhaustive search techniques and find their original source publication (and preferably get hold of the raw data) -- this usually takes years and involves multiple online and hand searches, contacting key researchers in multiple countries &c&c&c; (3) to interpret the results with respect to the question without preconceptions using some statistically reputable technique. And even so, the results are usually difficult to interpret. I've read meta-analyses by different groups of very similar questions with very similar inclusion/exclusion criteria which came to opposite conclusions. Tavia

Emma said: "Some people create an illusion of liking chocolate in non friendly environments, like outmoded Victorian working environments where vanilla is perceived as the devil's ice cream. But they binge on vanilla at the weekends. So one group of people thinks they like chocolate, but another knows they prefer vanilla. Does that help at all?" Probably, and probably not, not sure. But it made me laugh. -- cheers Steve Rogerson http://homepages.poptel.org.uk/steve.rogerson Redemption: The Blake's 7 and Babylon 5 convention 21-23 February 2003, Ashford, Kent http://www.smof.com/redemption

I'm not bloody surprised your waistline is expanding if you spend your time hanging around a Lyst where all people go on about is ice cream, chocolate and roast penguins! Now THAT'S what I call pornography! Cheers Frances

I'd like Blake a lot better if "Bounty" included a scene where the assembled people of Lindor, or a ragged resistance group, or one kid writing a letter to Blue Peter actually asked how to get Sarkoff back. As it stands, I have to suspect that Blake initiated the whole thing, that Sarkoff nicked the gramophone, butterflies, etc. from the Lindorian White House, and he got the car from somebody he pardoned immediately before leaving office. -(Y)
