I hope you're not trying to curry favour!</p> <p>Sorry about that folks. It's been a long old morning :( </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=51939#post-149590 Mon, 19 Nov 2012 22:04:41 +0000 Squudge 149590@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>what a pitta<br /> never mind</p> <p>...worth a ticker at the very least </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=51939#post-149517 Mon, 19 Nov 2012 12:30:39 +0000 Jonny Shlep 149517@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>There were fresh calls for an immediate ceasefire in the war torn Middle East last night after an Israeli F16 jet fighter targeted and destroyed a kebab shop in Upton Park East London leaving the proprietor and 12 customers dead.</p> <p>It is believed the tragic mix up occurred when the pilot was told to "Get me some hummus" by his flight commander who merely wanted him to bring him over a snack from the canteen after ending his sortie over Palestine.</p> <p>A witness to the carnage was Tony Summers, the owner of a greengrocers just across the road from the stricken fast food shop.</p> <p>"It was absolutely diabolical to be honest" said Mr Summers 57 "I was just arranging a few oranges in the display outside the shop when this fighter jet came screaming in and launched a missile which absolutely flattened the kebab place. The poor bastards inside never stood a chance. It's an absolute tragedy for the whole community and a downright diabolical liberty.</p> <p>" Tariq, the geezer who owned it, was an absolute diamond and did the best donner with chili sauce and hummus for miles around. Gawd knows what I'm going to do at lunchtimes now. I'll probably have to get the old woman to make me a packed lunch or something. Absolutely bloody terrible!"</p> <p>The Israeli airforce issued a brief statement last night.</p> <p>"While we deeply regret this terrible tragedy and send our condolences to the families of all those affected we'd like to reiterate that we only target military installations or crowded blocks of flats which may or may not have the odd Palestinian terrorist living there and that regrettably there will always be a degree of collateral damage, whether it be a school, a mosque or even as we saw on this occasion, the odd snack bar thousands of miles from the theatre of war so we're sorry about that"</p> <p>A memorial service for the dead is to be held on Thursday at the East London Church Of Christ, Spitalfields with a free fish supper thrown in afterwards. </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=29803#post-83624 Mon, 29 Aug 2011 07:13:43 +0000 cuckoowatoo 83624@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>Thanks for the stars and no problem about the rant, I liked it! </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=29803#post-83611 Sun, 28 Aug 2011 23:10:32 +0000 dvo4fun 83611@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>Have some stars me old cuck. Expanding this one?</p> <p>Rant. This is a progression from offenders on 'community service' work wearing hi-viz tabards proclaiming 'community payback'. Last year Gov't suggested 'community work' for benefit claimants and if that goes ahead they'll presumably have to wear alternative tabards to distinguish them from simple miscreants; maybe a different colour and 'workshy'. Medical staff 'angels' (except administrators of course) and all other public sector employees 'spongers'. Continues droning on..</p> <p>I do apologise. It's been a long day, what with MoTD, F1 and MOTOGP. I should just drink my ovaltine (other milk-medium sleepy-time drinks are available) and get to bed. </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=29803#post-83599 Sun, 28 Aug 2011 19:49:49 +0000 cuckoowatoo 83599@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>A row has broken out over a fast food chain’s decision to give staff ‘Do Not Disturb’ uniforms to wear to prevent customers from speaking to them.</p> <p>The staff will wear the bright red tabards after they have taken the order, whilst they are collecting the food to be put on the customer’s tray. </p> <p>The fast food chain says interruptions, such as customers asking questions about ketchup and straws, stop staff from doing their jobs properly and could actually lead to customers being given the wrong burger.</p> <p>But Jane Tinsmith, from campaign group Fast Food Customer Concern, described the initiative as ‘ridiculous’.</p> <p>She said: ‘If you’re a fast food chain employee and you can’t do more than one thing at a time, you’re a pretty hopeless employee”. Then she laughed and said “who am I kidding? Can they even do one thing at a time?” </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=25430#post-69079 Sun, 22 May 2011 14:43:54 +0000 mbalton 69079@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>McDonald’s stockholders have voted down a recommendation that the company stop marketing its products to children to counter the growing obesity epidemic among the world's youth.</p> <p>The plan called for the retirement of Ronald McDonald and would have required the removal of toys from the company’s Happy Meals. It was rejected by every McDonald’s stockholder except one, the Hamburgler, who reportedly does not like children.</p> <p>“Rather than restrict the popular Happy Meals concept, we’re going to expand upon it,” a McDonald’s spokesman said. “The new idea is to create Happy Meals for children of all ages.”</p> <p>Instead of toys, the adult Happy Meals will contain single doses of either McCrack or McMeth, two new products now being developed in the company’s McLab. “We want to give our adult customers an adult choice,” the spokesman added. “And have some adult fun.”</p> <p>In line with the new product launches, the company also announced a major change for McDonald’s mascot. The name of Ronald McDonald will be changed to Ronald McPusher.</p> <p>“We're through clowning around,” a McDonald's spokesman said. “We've been cooking our customers' their favorite burgers for more than half a century. Now we're going to fry their brains.” </p>
