Data Mining Updates

Possibly no real surprises here.

People who bought Eamonn Duffy's "Stripping of the Altars" also bought lovely baroque or Romantic-period doilies that make you wish you're back in the middle ages.

People who bought very ornate doilies made from lace rather than paper also tended to buy Newman's "Apologia Pro Vita Sua".

People buying material for the Alpha Course made the mistake of letting someone else buy doilies for them, with the result that they've all got beer-mats.

Doilies that were very plain - frankly just pieces of circular, undyed paper -showed a strong propensity to purchase Calvin's "Institutes of the Christian Religion", while doilies that are made of recycled paper, washed in the cleanest streams of the Scottish Highlands and islands, show a strong affinity to the Iona Community's "Wee Worship Book".

People who bought "The Communist Manifesto" refused to buy doilies at all on the grounds that they're a product of the enforced labour of the working classes.

People who bought Spring Harvest worship CDs tended not to buy doilies at all on the grounds that they're not much use when you're driving.

And people who bought either copies of "Humanae Vitae" or "The God Delusion" will be right back to let us know what doilies they like, just as soon as they've been told.
