    The Grand Big Mac and the Big Tasty are both available at McDonalds at the moment.

    It's basically become a Michelin star restaurant.

    The Grand Big Mac is the don. Extra Big Mac sauce takes it to heavenly levels.

    Good news. I raise a glass to them this evening.
    But, as ever, the taxpayer pays for the police foul-up.

    The seven protesters were arrested between November 2016 and February 2017 and detained for up to nine hours under an obscure trade union law that was incorrectly used, the police watchdog found last year.
    Protesters have accepted the payment, which came in an out-of-court settlement, but say they would rather have been given an apology.
    “This is about the right to peacefully protest. The [police] are very good at using taxpayers’ money to get out of sticky situations instead of getting it right the first place. We just want an apology and an explanation,” said Dr Simon Crump, one of the protesters who was arrested in 2016. The protesters are now pushing for an independent inquiry into the arrests, which they believe were an intimidation tactic to stop them from protesting.

    We're fortunate enough to have plenty of these running wild in our garden. Beautiful birds.

    After all the arse ache of the extension and building works, we’re about a week and a half away from moving back home.

    Went there tonight and the decorators have nearly finished. The place looks fucking fantastic, couldn’t have wished for more. 

    My wife’s out so celebrated by picking my daughter up from Brownies and getting a take away Indian (with 3 large cobras)

  • Going to Northern Ireland tomorrow for the first time to celebrate a good friend's 60th birthday. There are seven of us flying from here, one is already there and six more who live here part time flying in from England and Wales. He has absolutely no idea we are coming. He'll be in bits when we turn up... :smiley:

    Was in Central London today and saw lots of striking school students.
    Very impressed with their commitment. Hope for the future unless it's all gone too far by the time they take over.

    Heard five young girls interviewed on C4 news just now. Very impressive; committed and eloquent. Hats off to them,

    No surprise to hear the Wheatfield Wanderer criticising the children for taking a stand.
    ("Increasing teachers' workloads", blah, blah, blah)
    Having presided over a right-wing government that has caused much of the problem, she could apologise. 
    But, being Teflon Theresa, no chance of that.
    More pollution and ecological destruction from the Captains Of Industry and a telling off for those who oppose the stinking, wretched status quo.

    Not sure the story warrented an entire morning on bbc breakfast though, it was painful. 
    Cut to Steph asking the same 3 questions to Tony and the USAF guy. Cut to a airfield and a few planes sitting on tarmac, cut to Charlie asking the same 3 questions to Tony and the RAF guy.....
  • Every now & again, I get to do some testing at work. Usually attacking APA / BR glass  with a hammer at work. This week I managed to hit the glass with the hammer 49 times in 30 Secs. Still go it.

    Meeting a friend for lunch on a Friday - fish & chips, big glass of wine and a hour of gossip. Just a shame to have to come back to the office after.

    Helping to rehabilitate a young horse that was attacked by loose dogs, walking 3 dogs along the street alongside a horse is pretty surreal and while beautiful animals I'm not over keen. (They kick and bite)  :#
