This bit stood out: Quote: Taco Bell had to take all the beef out of its regular menu, using chicken instead, and it created many vegetarian options for Indian consumers. Its "Crunchy Taco--Potato" and "Paneer [cheese] and Potato Burritos" are attempts to give Indian consumers a Mexican fast-food experience without the meat. NB: Taco Bell opened its first outlet in Mexico about 2 1/2 years ago ...

It's probably past its use-by date anyway, but if the imminent Delhi games don't go ahead it'll be a massive blow to Indian pride, and really throw into doubt their ability to host a 'major' event like this.

Most shamefully, and recently, when match fixing took precedence over the floods when reporting from Pakistan

He's not worried by the discovery of a snake in one of the village rooms at the weekend. ''I think we are OK from the snake point of view,'' Mr Moneghetti said. ''We are Australians, we are used to dealing with the most venomous snakes in the world, so a couple of snakes here's not going to be an issue for us.''
