Tiny Little Things That Cause You Irrational Rage

Yeah balanced enough to put you in hospital if you eat it for a month !

[the-e-dealer]

I'm sure I saw a movie about how it wasnt all that good for you.

Judging by some of Salsaboy's previous posts, it would appear too many of these "balanced" burger joint meals are passing his/her mouth.

Bit harsh?

To put this in context, am enjoying a pork pie as we speak. It's mopping up a bottle of wine so quote healthy. On balance. Not cycling home tho, wheeling.

[Zebedee Tring]

So Salsaboy wasn't joking then? I thought that I might have missed a bit of irony, which is easy to do when you can't see the poster's face.

Assume this means me so apologise.

Taken on it's on and eaten as part of a balanced diet there is nothing wrong with a Big Mac and fries. If you look at the nutritional content of McDonalds meals they are all created with balance in mind. Sure they may be loaded with calories but so is a curry and I note that there is an ED curry club. The Morgan Spurlock film Supersize Me, in which he ate nothing but McDonalds for a month, breakfast, lunch and dinner did end up with him being overweight and having increased blood pressure and cholesterol etc. but I'm sure you would get the same effect eating nothing but pizza or cheap ready made meals from Iceland. I know for a fact that with regards to the beef used, McDonalds use nothing but top grade British beef with no fillers or cereals added.

No I don't work for McD's and I don't work for them as PR or anything like that.

@Louisa - I'm not sure how you can pass comment like that without having met me (or have you?).

[Robert Poste's Child]

That's just mean.

[Salsaboy]

You're right. It's cruel to pigs so I've removed it.

No! Ungentlemanly, Salsaboy.

The use of the word "cohort" when applied to a group of students rather than to a Roman military unit.

"England Expects"

Used by BBC commentary only last week and surely well past its sell by date.

Why should England expect? 1966 was half a century ago. Impact of this expectation on players is even worse.

"Scotland the Brave"...60% gonna vote to stay with the auld Enemy :)

People who idle their vehicle's engine. There's a Foxtons Mini parked outside mine right now with its engine running.

Why do people do it?

" I know for a fact that with regards to the beef used, McDonalds use nothing but top grade British beef with no fillers or cereals added."

Not having a go at MaccyD here - but given the statement above, the burger should taste a little more beefburgery no?

Like McCain's chips - nothing but fresh potatoes. Frozen

So why if I use fresh potatoes and freeze them, do they taste nothing like that?

Something else is afoot

[????]

I think the answer can be found on who the mini belongs to

[Otta]

SJ, Have you ever taken the burger out, scraped it cleanish and tried it? I haven't either, but for me, the meat in a Maccas burger just adds chewyness. The hamburger tastes of their very sweet breat and their sauce.

But I do believe their premium burgers "big tasty" et al are made with much better quality meat.

But lately I have gone right off maccas for anything other than McMuffins, which I love!

Birds. Look, I like you and all. You brighten up a sunny day with your cheerful chirruping and I will happily chase cats out of our garden so they don't threaten the robins nesting in our tree. But, BUT, what, at the first glimmer of light, is the dawn chorus all about?

I mean, really? You all have to get together and scream your soddin' beaks off?

If the neighbours had a party that loud at four in the morning I'd be phoning the council.

Sort it out will ya, it's just plain antisocial.

[Jah Lush]

I love the dawn chorus. It reminds me it's time to go to bed.

Jonathan Dimbleby on R4 has just said 2003 as Twenty-Oh-Three. What's all that about?!? Michael Crick on C4 News says that all the time and I've heard Paxman say it was well. Twenty-Fourteen but not Twenty-Oh-Three!
