eeesh - spooky MW74..

Nero + Horsebox = right

I'm definitely interested in the Stokey gig however But I just remembered I'm away - oops

Thanks for the nod BB - they remind me of a band I liked in the mid 90s Jack being the band name - their singer Anthony Reynolds released a great album last year; British Ballads i shall keep an eye on their live listings - Sat could have been a go, but N17 I ask you!!??

I suggest you both make a start by not calling her that - last time I did that I barely survived...

True Asset - but not just Fast Food outlets, but how the whole food chain ends up compromised

you two should talk more... ;-)

it probably was - he's been in the Q at William Rose a few times when I've been there

It seems I can't move the debate away from "health" issues - ah well I'm pretty much inagreement with you Nero - but then again I'm not that fussed about how healthy the food is or isn't

yowser - take a bow Mark

I wouldn't call the detail in Fast Food Nation fatuous Nero Again, not the healthy/Morgan Spurlock end of things - more the coercion, dangerous work environments at the slaugterhouses etc

I'm not with Virgin but a lot of the symptoms described have been affecting me in the last 2 months or so DNS problem at their end apparently

I'm guessing the petition didn't work then?

jobby - I'd be inclined to get the 185 to Victoria and get the district from there, At that hour of the day I reckon it should take about 1 - 1:15 But you've probably tried that route and found it wanting so I'll shush

I have a copy knocking around if anyone wants to grab it

blinder999 has worked for McDonald's and pointed out they have changed many of those practices mentioned in the book. But if even a few of the more dubious ones remain.... And RosieH is right to point out again that McDonalds is an easy target when there are so many targets to choose from - something I had already pointed out to be fair. But just because we have so many ethically dodgy companies isn't an excuse for us to shrug and say "nothing to do with me". Surely? Jesus might have worked for the Romans but I don't think he would have extolled their virtues Most companies are responsive to external pressure - McDonald's have done much, publicly anyway, to change but without that pressure.... Aalll that said, I've dragged the conversation away from the topic. Apologies. You can probably guess by now if I want one on LL ;-) Apart from anything else it brings the Mall Rats out to play

they Verrrry idea Bellenden Belle!! Plus he wouldn't lurk so much as be up close, blatantly sniffing around

* sigh * yes dear

whooah - I said if you ran a company! Not sure I want even you (or any individual) ruling the world!

Franki - I sometimes use the pseudonym "quids" when am not near a grown-up keyboard After last night, and if the Dutch can keep it up, I'll be upset if they don't win History is on mockney and ????'s side tho

again with the health thing jimmy. I'm glad you haven't been ill there, but it wasn't the question I asked.. (re-reads that and thinks it sounds aggressive - I don't mean it to be - honest guv. I'm genuinely curious about the wider impications) But as an aside from this thread how healthy/unhealthy people eat/drink/smoke - I'm not that bothered. that's where Asset's "personal choice" comes in.

but it;'s not because corporations are inherently "big" and "evil" as a conscious being Legal requirement means they HAVE to expand and do ANYTHING to increase shareholder value - morals don't come into it. If you became chairperson of BP tomorrow Chav, you could not change their policy because if you implemented any policy which reduced shareholder value (say reducing whatever ethically dubious policy they currently undertake) then you would be out of a job and probably legally charged There isn't a monster in charge of these places - he/she (oh go on - probably a he) is usually a nice person with kids/friends/blood - same as everyone else. When consumers (us lot) stop demanding their product, they will respond

???? - is that a statement or just the graffiti from your stag do?

* lights up post-garden/sun/drink fag * cheers all

s'ok hon - you're not. I've had a word with the Bad Man
