ere:The ambience plays itspart quite well. The colours are a mix of dark and white chocolate, and some- times makes you wonder whethereverything is edible as it is in its name-sake in "Charlie and the Chocolate Fac- tory." There are even two tiny Taj Ma-hals - in dark and white chocolate at thecounter. The quotes exhort you to con-sume more chocolate and give youquirky reasons to do so. The perfect set- ting for a chocolate-flavoured evening.Choc

-block:The menu has a deluge of chocolate vying for your attention invarious avatars. First in the drinkableform – Hot Chocolate, Choctails, Choc-shakes and Chillers. There is then someminuscule attention paid to coffee and tea. Just to give you a respite, there area few ‘regular’ food options - panini, cro-ques, wraps, baguettes, sandwiches,crepes, pastas and salads. Before youcan be diverted, the next set of choco-late incarnations appear – preparing  you with pancakes and waffles, beforeknocking you over with chocizzas, icecreams, sundaes and fondues.Choc up: The Belgian Chilli Chocolate isan adventurous way to start your choco-late journey. The chilli delivers a de-layed, but excellent kick. If you want amore sedate start, the Mint Cuddle cupwill do the job, and to get right into thescheme of things, begin with a Black For-est chocshake. Among the chillers, theChoco Crunch Mocha chiller will remind you of ‘Coffy Bite’. The Buttered Mush-rooms Croque serves as a good snackdespite having an extra helping of cheese. The Open House Chicken Pani-no, with its tangy flavour was also afavourite, as was the Teriyaki ChickenWrap. The Chocolate Sizzler deserves the ‘chocolate, chocolate, chocolate’ de-scription and would’ve been the day’swinner, if it were not for the Chilli HotChocolate Pizza. In appearance, thischocizza is quite an unassuming dish,but melted chocolate, chilli flakes,oregano and cheese converged to en-sure that all decorum and etiquette wereforgotten when it came to the last slice.Chok

s: Chief among the spoilsportswas the hyped chocolate fondue which turned out way too mild for our liking.The Chocolate y Churros, (also known asSpanish Doughnut) might have worked inisolation but was completely lost in thechocolate avalanche. The Coffee Nirvanadid not live up to the promise either.S

e: Though they seemed a little sur-prised that we were ordering non-choco-late items too, they were quite prompt indelivery, and except for the crepes that turned up less than lukewarm, all waswell. The handwritten smiley Thank Youon each bill is a nice touch.V

dict: With loads of chocolate, rea-sonably good service and a fine ambi-ence, this place is a must visit if youconsider yourself even remotely achocoholic. If you’re not, this is proba-bly the place which will deliver thechocasm that converts you.

A survey has found that women do really carry almosteverything but the kitchen sink in their handbags. The survey found that a vampire voodoo doll, screw-drivers, sex toys and a piano tuning fork were among theeveryday items extricated after a good rummage. According to the study, handbags’ hidden depthsalso revealed tarot cards, a baby tooth, dog biscuits,porn DVDs, partners’ medication and spare knickers.Most women always carry a “comforting item”such as their child’s first shoe, a lock of a grandchild’s hair or their father’s watch. They regularly tuck inside romantic mementoes,while the most organised find space for a passport,driving licence and marriage and birth certificates. Afifth of women confessed to hiding behind their over-size handbags when they didn't feel confident or hada “fat day.”

Trying to get a man to a doctor can be quite a task.So, why do men hate it so? The hatred is apparenteven in a recent survey, which found that womenwere three times more likely to see a doctor on aregular basis than men. “There could be as many answers to that question asmale patients that I see, but more often than not it’s that it’s not a priority for them,”said Timothy Vavra,DO, Loyola University Health system physician and as-sociate professor of internal medicine at Loyola Uni-versity Chicago Stritch School of Medicine. “They’re not willing to make a lifestyle change so they think it’s a waste of time listening to a doctor tell them to change the way they eat, to start exer-cising and stop smoking if they’re not going to do it.”According to Vavra, this thinking doesn’t add up.The longer a person puts off seeing a doctor themore likely they’ll have to see a doctor on a regularbasis.
