>but goodness knows, the country that gave us 'toad in a hole', 'spotted dick' and 'bubble and squeek', and hundreds of other weird names for foods should be commenting about USer's slang for food..

commenting, but not criticising


Pourquoi ist this post in reply to me? I'm a flatliner, and I still reply to the right post. Curious, is all.

Well, I tried a search of Java -coffee -computer, and this is what I got: http://www.google.com/search?sourceid=navclient&q=java+-coffee+-computer

Every single link on the first page (except for one of the sponsored ones) was about Java computer programming.

Bingley, did you actually visit the link I supplied in my first post? It was the result of a search I did that excluded coffee and computers.

But you added Indonesia to the search. Without that, you still end up with the programming stuff.
