Rum as an effective Contraceptive
These days I am a bit, shall we say, unoccupied.. work (or lack thereof), delayed monsoons and the the consequent Delhi heat have put a dampner on the works. And before the question crops up on the nature of my occupation.. No I am not a farmer who dosent have a perennial water source!
On of the ways I keep myself entertained is to look for "interesting" stuff on the net and this journey has taken me to the the website of TESCO, the UK retailer... They have had some interesting solutions to common problems, for Instance using tinned sardines to unblock drains!! Now I all for good marketing strategies to clear (nearly) expired stock of perishables...but this is absurd. El Reg has more on the unique Tesco solutions to common problems here. Incidently, Tesco at one point recommended Rum as an effective contraceptive!No wonder there have been several protests against the MNC's entry into India... as if Indians are looking for Tesco guidance on increasing their intake of Jamaica's finest or throw tonnes of sardines down the loo!!
Parting Shot: The Right wing in Indian Politics have taken a left turn... they have banned Baa Baa "Black" Sheep ... in schools!!
