Surely this question, posed back in the heady days of the 1960's (long time passing) is one that has never been fully answered.

This remains for me one of life's great mysteries, along with-

What's so special about goat's cheese anyway?

Answers on a small Melton Mowbray pork pie please.

WOW. Those (very apt, I must say) links referenced above prove ONE thing before the year 2000 arrives: The Web is a Wild Varied and Wacky Place. It really is.

I completely agree with you RhymeMe. Byzantine is obviously a person of few words but extensive resource.

What is there on flowery goat pies, I wonder?

Certain very aggressive flowers have been known to duel to the death, i.e. pistils at dawn.

As a huge fan of weak puns, I was vastly amused by the pistils at dawnsmiley - winkeye

Byzantine has however at one fell swoop rendered my life devoid of meaning, by answering my great questions in life and also denied me the joy of writing a Melton Mowbray Pork Pie entry for the guide by providing a link to a fantastic pork pie feature.

My life now being empty, I'm going out to the woods...
