The King Tries To Hit Back

[It seems this has become a theme after all, mainly because I am stuck in Leeds for most of time at present for training and my focus is elsewhere  also I have no ‘personal’ internet access, the choices are £1 for 10 mins on a PC in the lobby or £20 for a days Hi-speed access in the room]

It seems Burger King Japan have launched a sort of response to  Wendy’s Premium range

I have to say colour me unimpressed, I mean Nacho’s in a burger, what’s that all about, I can’t see how that would enhance it at all , there’s also a lot of salad in there which personally I think is a bad thing, if you’ve got Avocado why do you still need the lettuce?

They are still not a patch on the XT Steakhouse, must try harder Burger King Japan

Quelle Surprise

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Remind me again Pavlov's Cat what job was it you were doing, when you and your fellow Fixed Term Agreements were told that due to the improving economy none of your contracts were not being renewed.

It wasn't this one was it ?

Oh it was, will you be applying again?

Now steady on , there's no need for that sort of language

It Was Always ‘Wrong’: Reprise

Excuse me but “AAAAAAAAARGH, it was always ‘WRONG’ you twunts”

I refer you to my earlier comment

UPDATE: The Daily Mail have now changed the headline to

Widow murdered at river cottage: Police fear grandmother who lived alone was stabbed to death in botched burglary

Which is something I guess.

More Burgers YOU Will Not Be Eating Today

Yes this is becoming a feature it seems

Whilst other countries are treated to burgers with a bit of a ‘Wow’ factor ,Most notably Japan it seems. (But not just Japan , keep reading to the bottom)  we here in the UK are left with the McDonalds Festive Deluxe, which was neither Festive, nor Deluxe.

As has been reported elsewhere,  the burger chain Wendy’s is to re-enter the Japanese market with a range of premium burgers, most notably the

Fois Gras Rossini
(feat. fois gras & truffle terrine)

Not for you?  Ok, How about;

The Avocado Wasabi　

Still no?  Are you sure I can’t tempt you with a;

Truffle & Porcini Grilled Chicken

No again? Well you’re a hard person to please, so lets go for a plain Ol’

Chilli Burger

On a side note , Wendy’s are my favourite burger chain, the fries are awesome, They made a brief showing in the UK in the 80’s in London, however the franchise was owned at the time by Whitbread breweries, who realised they could make more of a profit margin by selling a flat loaf of bread with tomato sauce and rubber cheese on top for £10.00 to mug punters and so converted the few outlets into Pizza Huts, For that reason I have not to this day set foot in a Pizza Hut ( Well that and I just don’t like pizza)

However, not to be outdone in signature burgers it seems our continental cousins have entered the fray for featured burgers.

To celebrate the launch of  Star Wars Episode 1 in 3D , Quick( a Benelux franchise) are celebrating with the below.

Can’t wait for that?

How about on the 30th January

Sub Ed Never Seen ‘Shark Week’

It really is now a matter of public record that Daily Mail reporters and picture editors are stunningly ignorant about the natural world.

Like the time they labelled a Whale Shark a ‘mammal’

So it’s not even worth a Face/Palm  when you come across something like this in a story about an attack by a pod of Killer Whales on a school of Sharks. You’d finish up black & blue.

Yeah don’t think that was an informed decision on the sharks part. What’s it going to do now? Wait till they’ve gone away? Walk into town and catch a bus to the next bay over?

Dickheads

[Not sure where the enormous beats came from, maybe the whales were laying down some wicked drum & bass as a soundtrack]

Today’s Cow (ish) Attack

Whilst we wait for Mark Wadsworth to find the obligatory Yule Tide UK Cow Attack  story.

Normally involving an elderly person just out for ‘a nice walk’ accompanied by an over excitable Yorkshire Terrier called ‘Trevor’

Here is a cow (sort of) attack story from the lovely island of  Hawaii ,HI

Man attacks four outside Kona bar with cow's femur, police say

Hawaii County police said a 45-year-old man injured four men, one seriously, with the thigh bone of a cow in a fight outside a Kailua-Kona bar Saturday.

Rest of story

But they don’t explain why he has such a thing in the first place, which to me is the most interesting question.

Perhaps he wanted to go all ‘Sampson’ on them, but was unable to come up with the jaw bone of an ass.

Still a cows femur, can’t be that bad can it.

Oh right.

30 Words Or Less

I found I had been Bookedfaced by an old friend  when I returned from a Boxing Day soiree.

Sigh

Probably best not to do these things after copious amounts of Becks, Madeira and stilton

It’s an interesting exercise though almost like Haiku writing.
