Hands down, and have no idea why. Which brings me to my point, WHAT I DONT GET is 1- why people tailgate the car in front so closely, instead of overtaking (if they're that bothered to go quicker why not just go around) 2- why people here drive like crazy with with kids in the back...or a missus that's fine with that too 3- if driving with one hand held in a clenched fist fashion on the top of the wheel makes the car go quicker, or the driver harder It may or may not be directly related to intelligence which may or may not be related to the lack of diversity in the gene pool around there.

Xela Posted October 17, 2016 Share Posted October 17, 2016 Why are 'gourmet' burgers in pubs now served on anything but a plate. Wooden boards, pieces of slate, wicker baskets, etc. "Would you like anything else with your meal sir?"- yes, a friggin' plate to eat it off, chief. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How else are they going to charge you fifteen quid for a chilled, pre-prepared horse-burger, made by minimum-wage workers, in a freezing warehouse owned by Unilever, if they serve the thing on a plate?

Amsterdam_Neil_D Posted October 18, 2016 Share Posted October 18, 2016 XL bacon double cheeseburger, the only worthwhile burger from BK I cannot ever try it, thought about it but helaas pinder kaas (Dutch for that's the way it goes involving peanut butter ffs) I cannot ever take the step. It is the dark side, the pull is strong i admit. The pictures make it look very tasty indeed but early teachings and training mean my path is chosen, it was chosen millennia ago I suppose. The dark days, where war was uncivilised and the toys were non existent and a happy meal was a fable talked about in deep dark corners of the local tavern. Wimpy ruled and Birmingham had never seen the like. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Midfielder Posted October 18, 2016 Share Posted October 18, 2016 Thread; Things you don't get. The Kardashians, their relevance to the news, their fame, that people here aspire to them, follow them on social media. I don't get it. I do get, that theyre a narcissistic fame hungry bunch who thrive on the spotlight, PR manipulation and have forged a very profitable "career" out of it. But as above, what the jesus f--- has this got to do with anybodys lives over here, or in the states. They're like royalty to some. Will they ever fade away, become irrelevant... I don't think so. When you hear "normal" people at work talking about them, see a bus go past with a poster for their show or something they're plugging... just wonder what is the agenda here? This post could be 6 screens long. You are lucky I am tired and don't want to punch the laptop typing this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phumfeinz Posted October 18, 2016 Share Posted October 18, 2016 Because of you, dozens of people will now see your post and think of the Kardashians. You're part of the problem. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I'll probably still go once just to make sure It's quality grub, imo the best high street burger you can get. Btw, make sure you ask for regular fries because they give you a shit load regardless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
