Definitely not posh, secluded and full of birds and insects though. 
I *think* Waitrose do deliver locally but I’ve never even been in their store never mind had a delivery. 
Nearest Mcchickenking is nearly an hour away though. 

Sounds like heaven

Feels like the closest we've been to full on race riots for a very long time.

 

For balance, some groups of Muslim men are reacting in a similar thuggish fashion to the white trash:

I hope they get what they deserve and treated exactly as the far right.

Embarrassed to live in the UK at the moment. **** me.

You're not quite 'balanced'.

You refer to Muslim men and white trash.

Mate, just go in a private area or room, by yourself and knock one out, no need to be embarrassed.

Absolute bunch of s*** stains.

Ironic this is happening during the Olympics considering until a few weeks ago British media was full of the rise of the NF in France and the potential for violent protests to disrupt the games.

Both as bad as each other.

Fast food is not a value proposition anymore

Both of which are also nowhere near as cheap as they used to be. 

When buying for 3 of us puts it into the £50 region, it isn't even like its a cheap treat at this point. And if you get it delivered you can pay upto a tenner in delivery fees. 

 

Curry was £50 for three of us too - but fortunately they gave me food poisoning so I'm not remotely interested now

 

A chippy tea is over thirty quid. I can make decent meals for a few days on that.

Talking of takeaways - got a couple of Sunday lunch takeaways from Fourwards on the way back from swimming, gravy leaked in the bag which was paper - bag split all over my crotch - boiling hot gravy on the Crown Jewels, rang the restaurant up and said probably stop using paper bags, they refunded me! Cash back

I think you're now mainly paying for the speed of service above anything else in these places. A meal from KFC is probably costing you ~£15 in 2024 which is really hard to justify even though I'm a colonel fan. Never really been a vice for me but like that article says, you can have a full meal in a pub for the same price.

 

But then have to mix with people.

Hope your beans are ok.

What I've seen the last couple of days reminds me of things I've read about 20th century pogroms.

Use one topic for news, we don't need a new Lets have a news thread, topical events thread and The “ I’ve got something to say, but it doesn’t warrant its own thread “ thread. All these topics, like the latter did yesterday will just end up with conflict and politcal nonsense that saw the news topic locked. And the reason it was locked was because I've not got all day to monitor it and sort out all the reports where at least 70+% are all from the same kind of debates. So whats it to be?

I would respectfully suggest reopening up the news thread and merge this or any other similar ones opened since the news one was locked?

I wasnt around to see what was posted in the news one for it to be locked but your right the random threads which end up being the news is abit daft.

 

Anyone/ posts which are out of order just get deleted/ warned/ banned.

 

Like @Raj has suggested, how about a "News and Topical Events" topic where all the topics @Mark mentioned are brought under one umbrella which would be easier to check over for the mods. Maybe with a set of behaviour guidelines so posters know the boundaries of what is acceptable and if that line is crossed they get a warning or a ban.

IMO a general ban would be more of a deterrent than simply locking and deleting a topic, because those that simply want confrontation will find it on a different topic.

Most posters who contribute outside of the actual football topics, are thoughtful and intelligent with various levels of knowledge, expertise, opinions and points of view which are expressed reasonably and respectfully. A lot of us here are better informed because of them.

The last time I ordered a cheeseburger at a McDrivethru I had to wait for it to be cooked.

 

A cheesebuger.

 

And it was awful because the cheese wasn't melted.

 

If McDs can't have one of them waiting to dispense instantly then what is the point to them? It's like going into a corner shop and having to wait while they go fetch you a pint of milk and a loaf of bread from out back.

 

Last time we went to KFC I swear someone was sent out to go buy chicken from the nearest town as we had to wait so long.

 

From price to taste to service, I think they've all forgotten what they are there for.

 

Profit only.

 

They don't give a fluck about their customers or the quality of their product. 

 

Do you think the spotty oik at the counter cares about your "experience" with them?

I only venture onto the general sport and chat forums because I don't watch LCFC enough to comment on the main LCFC chat. 

 

The general chat forum for me is a brilliant way to learn about how locals are feeling in the community I live in. As an outsider, I learn so much from here. 

 

Foxestalk is a level above any other forums I'm registered for.

Yeah it is. Even if you have 3 Big Mac meals at circa £8 that's £24. What else are you buying to spend an extra £26?

Cant beat abit of turkish for a take away, fairly healthy too.

Not talking Maccies here. Was talking other takeaways. You take your life in your own hands having McDonalds of KFC round here. If it ever turns up there's still a 50% chance you end up with arse plague for 48 hours.
