Purple sausage

It seems I've been a bit preoccupied with food recently, maybe food really turns me on? For example I always thought a "purple sausage" was a risque euphemism, now I "stand" corrected (ooh, er!).

The real Purple Sausage is from New Zealand, according to The Consumerist...and it's not the tastiest looking item I've ever seen. If you have ever tried one, I'd be interested to know if it tastes as bad as it looks.


The Full English

To be fair, I have to admit the food in Oz is generally fantastic - very tasty, healthy, high quality, great variety and good value. What more could a Pom ask for? Well I really do miss a good old fashioned full english breakfast from a greasy spoon. Sadly the spoons Down Under are just too clean! I'll keep looking and maybe find a downtrodden dive run by an ex-pat who skillfully dodges the health inspectors. In the meantime, I must make do with the ramblings of Russell M Davis, who has a true passion for Eggs, Bacon, Chips and Beans.

Google-zon

Ok, so the Web has revolutionised the way many people live and work - from global communications and personal publishing to shopping and news broadcasting. Have you ever wondered what is likely to evolve over the next decade, if current trends continue at their staggering pace?
