In my experience asians aren't more lactose intolerant than anyone else...and i did used to live there.

Hmm, maybe I'm getting confused. I used to have Eurosport as part of my TV package a few years back, so it may actually have been on there ... in which case yes it probably is the same guy!

Edit after a bit of googling: Sid Hoare? That name rings a bell.

Oh?

Interesting. Guess it means percentages of lactose-intolerance don't mean that much...don't correspond to the effects of lactose-intolerance. On the other hand, which does exist, is that no one there drinks milk (i mean in quantities that it's drank here, the diet is entirely different - my cholesterol was normal there whreas here it's something of an enigma) or eats much cheese. But in my experience, those who do eat cheese suffer from no adverse side-effects.

Excuse my reliance on Wikipedia tonight, it's not like me.

Hahaha, thanks! Disraeli of all people! Should've known

Cheese is processed to some extent anyway, so it's likely not going to have the same effect aside from in more extreme cases.

You're a wealth of occult information.

Wikipedia's one of my very favorite sources of reading material.

i generalyl don't trust wikipedia except in utterly neutral subjects.

I never said that I *trusted* it...

Define "neutral"

And a recent study showed that 67% of statistics are made up, anyway.

Ah, the old ones are the best...

Good point, i commend you!

And hand you a silver star.

And concede.

i don't trust wikipedia on any topic

100% of silver stars belong to me, dammit!

I've got a gold one so

Come now children, there's enough of them for everyone. Look here, i have a bagful!

Pfffft! Those are just tin.

Probably not, actually - aren't most Asians lactose intolerant?

That would be assuming there's anything even remotely resembling real cheese in a Cheesy Wotsit.

thanke

Sinnie, i didn't know you were well versed in chemical analysis of metals.

of course you are, Oh fount of knowledge!?

I'm well-versed in quite a few things; wholly and utterly ignorant, in others. But I fully admit to it, see...
