Vagueness and the Aftermath - A sporadic diary

I wonder why Italy is 20 places above us in the life expectancy stakes?

This is an interesting article, especially the comments.

Iceland is high up, I put that down to clean air!

I think how they care for their poor & their pensioners could figure in as well.

I wonder what their health service, (especially cancer detection rates) are like?

I couldn't believe we were 27th in that table.

Average life expectancy isn't just about people living for longer - it's also about people not dying as young (when we're talking about average life expectancy at birth - which is normally the case).

Had a quick look and Italy's infant mortality is lower than the UK's (for example).

I haven't got the numbers to see how much of an effect that has, but any quantity of zero (or close to zero) figures can have quite a big effect when working out averages.

That's a good point Jon.

I lurrve em to bits, but stats get skewed so easily don't they?

Speaking of stats. I am statistically the best tea maker in this trailer.

I am also the worst tea maker in this trailer.

I even had Mondo on yesterday, and he posted. He's blonde Royalty you know. A fully paid up clique member and everything.

We can all make stuff up, Mr Dog...

I'm actually quite fond of the odd rom com.

I can sit with my head tilted to one side, hands clasped beneath my chin and my thighs squeezed tightly together with the best of them, but I can't for the life of me see the attraction of Dirty Dancing.

Are there any actually any blokes who like that film? (

PS- It's OK if you admit it, you're among friends.

Aye, but high infant mortality rates are not any better sign of wellbeing. We're currently in a fight with Portugal for the worst in Western Europe....
