Bangers and crash

All attempts at a healthy lunch today were thwarted by the arrival of three enormous slabs of Milka chocolate from a co-worker who had been on holiday. Dude, I work for the same company as you? How can you afford to go to Barcelona and I can't? Bitch. The chocolate did redeem her, somewhat.

I don't even want to get started on Indianapolis. It's too much of an effort to even think about it after spending 2 hours yesterday watching only 6 cars race. I'm a Ferrari fan. I'm a Schumi fan. I suport Bridgestone. And even I was bleak about what happened. What made it that little bit worse was the lack of any understanding on the part of the American spectators who left (and who vented into the camera before leaving). Sure, I'd be pretty pissed off too had I saved up 2 months' salary to go to a stuffed-up race. But geez dude, don't get all screamy about it. And at least get a bit of a reward for your money by staying for the race. In a moment of unallowed Senna reminiscence I thought, what if all these fans leave and someone has a fatal crash at this race? Wouldn't they just absolutely kick themselves for leaving early?

And ooh, ooh, I just remembered, I've been wanting to blog this for aaaaages... my digsmate, Dale, has this amazing idea. This is something he and his taskgroup thought up at uni (they didn't do very well, stupid teacher I guess). I'm wondering if putting this out there means the idea will be stolen, but hey - I think it's pretty damn awesome and you guys won't go ahead and patent it now, will you?
Okay, Dale's idea is for pork sausages. Not just any pork sausages, mind you, but for SQUARE SAUSAGES.

Or, SQUASAGES™.

If you have ever tried to fry pork sausages in a frying pan, you'll know all too well why this little product would come in so handy - those little bastards roll around all ove rthe pan, and inevitably you end up with one side that's black, as the stupid normal sausages do tend to find one side to cook on roll back to it after being moved. Why has no one thought of this before? They'd be easy to turn over, would get cooked evenly on all sides, wouldn't end up burnt at all (unless you got too involved in Big Brother for the '2 minutes' you gave yourself to look at the TV while cooking) and would have innovative appeal.

Sainsbury's, if you're reading this... call me and I'll get Dale to call you back with a royalty figure. Six figures, methinks.
