I often have scrambled eggs on toast or with smoked salmon for breakfast, poached on top of mixed leaf salad with bacon, for lunch, fried on a ciabatta roll in the evening as a snack, omelette for dinner, baked with spinach for a light lunch, boiled whenever I feel like it, so I must be all or none of those people!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8377446.post-64089228696981529202012-10-10T05:50:41.814+01:002012-10-10T05:50:41.814+01:00Just another filler for the Telegraphs bloated pag...Just another filler for the Telegraphs bloated pages trying to hide the dearth of real reportage.<br />I like fried and scranbled so presumably have a guardedly high sex drive.bannedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02406037760273820029noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8377446.post-16882510419939335372012-10-09T15:19:00.000+01:002012-10-09T15:19:00.000+01:00"Seemingly the average poached egg-eater is l..."Seemingly the average poached egg-eater is likely to have two children, and no more than one sibling and is more likely to be a woman than a man."<br /><br />Poached eggs are my favourite (apart from Tonk's well remembered Easter variety). I am a man with no children and three siblings. Either I'm a very a-typical poached egg preferer OR the research is a load of old crap!Speenzmannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8377446.post-36357518187601570372012-10-09T00:43:49.689+01:002012-10-09T00:43:49.689+01:00boiled for 4 mins. then carefully peel and put egg...boiled for 4 mins. then carefully peel and put egg on slice of toast with full fat butter and a pinch of salt.

It seems a trivial issue but it alludes to something more serious, ie the rise in abuse of statistics.<br /><br />The fact is that practically all data contain patterns even if 99% of them are usually meaningless random patterns with no predictive power. For example, an analysis of lottery numbers over a year might show that six appears the most often. But as soon as you try using it, chances are some other number will immediately start appearing more often than six.<br /><br />On the other hand, some patterns are 100% consistent but 0% useful. For example if all road accidents in the UK tomorrow are analysed, it should be found that the majority will be caused by people with blue eyes. It's also true that if such shock statistics lead to all people with blue eyes being banned from driving on health and safety grounds, then the result should be a decrease in road accidents. But only in the sense that telling everyone to stay at home for the day and hide behind the sofa for health and safety reasons, should also lead to a decrease in road accidents.<br /><br />The mistake is that eye colour isn't causing the accidents, it's just the most common (I think) eye colour in the UK.<br /><br />The problem is that many focus groups and campaigners have now cottoned on to how easy it is to mislead the public using statistics or simple maths. In many cases the mainstream media either don't notice the fallacies or else appear quite happy to promote them.<br /><br />Either way, I never take at face value anything I see nowadays in the mainstream media.Cadaeibfecnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8377446.post-6827717692844541292012-10-08T14:37:22.772+01:002012-10-08T14:37:22.772+01:00Very well said.
