The McDonalds advert made to look like Ceefax/Teletext.
Basically, remember the 90s? McDonalds was there in the 90s!!
Yeah, and there was a massive issue over the safety of beefburgers... why remind everyone?
Always remember some kid at school who was a bit "Jay from the Inbetweeners" with his stories trying to claim he was the kid in that ad, despite everyone saying it was famously Scott Parker.

I'm confused as to whose shirt that is. In my head I always thought it was Swansea City, but looking again, I don't think it is. [Thinking out loud: It might not be any particular kit as they might not have wanted to put off rival supporters]
Why are there tea rooms and coffee houses but not coffee rooms or tea houses?
And why are all Italian restaurants “little”?
And why is a restaurant owner a restaurateur and not restauranteur ?
I can answer that one - cos it's foreign innit? restaurant is a froggy immigrant word as is restaurateur. Them frogs don't have proper sensible rules for words and that like what we Brits do, cos they're french and foreign.
The derivation of restaurant is from a French verb 'restaurer' (approx to restore oneself). The restaurant is the place in which the restoration takes place. 'Restaurateur' translates as the bloke who facilitates the restoration, rather than a bloke who owns a restaurant. Similarly in English: restoration is performed by a 'restorer' rather than a restorater - although this sort of mangled construction of nouns is creeping in across the pond in America with their relentless corruption of our beautiful language.
I always find it strange how some people love types of food and others hate them.
We were in Cromer today and whilst I’m not a huge seafood fan, was looking forward to trying a dressed Cromer crab so booked into a recommended restaurant.
Although I managed to eat it, I wasn’t impressed and thought it was a bit rank. My wife loved it.

My missus has a list of foods as long as your arm that she doesn't eat. I have three: oysters, salted anchovies and crab. Of that three, she loves crab and salted anchovies. 🙄

Maddest one for me is licorice, I can stand the stuff. I can see the redeeming features in most food but licorice is horrific, can’t stand the taste or smell, even writing this is making me nauseous.
My wife loves it, will eat a full bag in one go if she thought her stomach could take it. There’s always some in the cupboard. Vile vile vile stuff.
"Happy Halloween" - the night when the portals between the living world and the spirit world are open and the souls of the dead can return being treated like somebody's birthday!
How every other company, service etc is really hot on data protection, but you walk into a pharmacy and they ask you to tell everyone in the building at least your full name and address, sometimes your date of birth etc.
Plus you can find out that Shiela from 124 Station Road, DOB 1/12/76 has an STI and the runs.
So many threads lately where a person says something and another person says they said something entirely different. Presumably people feeling the need to exaggerate to validate their point of view.

Really odd lie to tell.

Day or night, summer or winter, on every pier.

So instead of getting a reminder, you'll get an email to discuss the reminders and it'll remind you anyway, just slightly earlier.
What a waste of time and effort all round.
