Admittedly the standards change as you get towards Bristol!

I do because I like to keep it real.

I thought in Bristol an alloy was someone you fought alongside?
No that's Ireland. 
In Bristol it's a greeting.
Haha! Well it IS posh then, we don't have greetings up here we just get on with the robbing.

EDIT:
By co-incidence there was an update/repeat of The Food Programme yesterday, in which it was made clear that there is only minimal conversion by the body of short-chain Omega3 into the beneficial long-chain version, so most omega3 from plant extracts is virtually useless.There was also some interesting facts about the possible link between obesity, brain development, and criminal behaviour, with the omaga3/6 balance.
Interesting programme. I have actually been interested in the role of Omega 3 in brain chemistry for a while, though I don't think the programme really substantiated any claims in that area so that was a little disappointing.
What did interest me was the the link between lack of omega 3, insulin deficiency and obesity, with the suggestion that that was the causal chain. The fact that obese people are low in omega 3 compared to omega 6 did not to me seem conclusive, as this could simply be an effect of the eating habits of obese people rather than having any causal implication; but the research on mice sounded promising. (Not that laboratory research on animals necessarily translates to humans.) When alarm bells rang was when links started to be made between declining omega 3 consumption and the increase in murder rates and depression - correspondence is not evidence causality, and that is a huge and rather unscientific claim to make.
There were a few other points I would have liked further clarification on. There was much talk about recommended omega 3 intakes, but not much on the basis of these. It does not matter how many organisations recommend a higher dose if they are all echoing one another, rather than relying on a broad research base.
The point that supermarket/retail chemist supplements containing short chain plant omega 3 and omegas 6 & 9 are not going to do anyone good was well made.
IMHO I think eating healthy habits and many weight problems are set up in the first few years of life. Tastes for sugar and salt are acquired then and so is over-eating.
When I went back to meat, the first time I tried it, I spat it across the room. It suddenly tasted so salty!
I run, play football and weight train during the week.
Then, come the weekend I abuse my body. Alcohol, not drugs.
One day my organs will resemble an out of date trifel, and george best's liver would look like a beautiful piece of steak compared to mine.

I know it's just your honest opinion Dolly, but I think it's a bit silly to pin all eating habits and their problems down to just one period of life. There's far too many causes that can trigger lifestyle changes.

But did you know, your DNA will be in as pristine condition as when you were conceived?

There's alot of scientific evidence that I wouldn't call 'silly', but that's just my silly opinion.
