Move along to the links above! There's nothing to see here!

God (when i say God, i could very well be refering to Allah/Buddha/Beelzebub or whatever deity you feel free to worship) knows what the hell i'm likely to write in my blog...i've never had a blog before, never really felt the need to have a blog - come to think of it, it's only from shear boredom i'm even creating this monster!

Mr Korn confirming the theory that he has no idea what the fuck he is talking about:

Mr Korn said Australia's obesity problem was more pronounced in rural areas because fresh food was more expensive and the health message was a lower priority for residents there.

"Try getting fruit and vegies in Wilcannia - it's so expensive there, it's much cheaper just to go to Maccas," he said.


The closest McDonalds to Wilcannia is 199.43 km, or approximately 3 hours drive. Petrol prices in Wilcannia at the moment are approximately $2.12 per litre - they are always overinflated here, not only because of the remoteness, but also to make up for the amount of robberies that occur and the limited hours of operation. You would be using approximately 30 litres of fuel @ $63.60 just to get to McDonalds, then your standard meal for a family of four would be, say, the meal deal containing the chips, drink, and big mac or alternative burger at approximately 5.95 each, adding up to around $23.80. That is a total cost of $87.40 aka one expensive fucking meal just to get your meal. Then you have to go back home!

Personally? I'd take the veggies that are in the only supermarket in Wilcannia that has not been burnt down. The meat is not an issue as most of the inhabitants of Wilcannia are of aboriginal decent and/or live on farms nearby and hunt kangaroos regularly. There we have it. Cheap eats.
