McNasty's "food"

November last year I was on a run to Scotland and the veggie sausages I had taken for breakfast were vile, so I stopped at a services to get food, all the food outlets were closed except for McNasty's, so I and got a Sausage and Egg Mcmuffin meal. Felt sick for the rest of the day after eating it.

Had a bacon and egg mcmuffin on Friday and had the shits all day yesterday, my farts were so bad I had to go to spare room to fart

Wish the missus would do that

Not thought about this before, but I had stomach problems for about 2 months after I'd eaten that shite.

[ChaChaMooMoo]

I had McNasty's burger the other day and it tasted weird. 2 days of constant projectiles. I have decided not to go there and have burgers ever again.

Sausage and Egg McMuffins are the gift of the gods ye heathens.

[UntouchableLuis]

I will never get egg or bacon at Maccies. Sausage and cheese bagel with a hash brown is boss.

Nope, they are utter shite sold as food.

Now, proper sausage and egg from a proper cafe, that is the gift of the gods.

You're brave. Annoys me when we're coming back from the gf's family and we get stuck on the M60 miles away from the TC due to the traffic going there.

Turned out alright in the end, got there before the hoards. Got to go to Wickes next, I know I'll get stuck in TC traffic coming back if I use the M60, so will have to go the back way home.

I hate the TC traffic, as to get to mine from the M60 you need to use one of the two junctions, so people coming to visit always get stuck. Its mental that the queues can go all the way back to J18, thats about 15 miles, just to go shopping !!!. Its awful at Christmas too, when I commuted to Southport it used to take 30 mins to get from the office to the M60, thats 1 mile, due to TC traffic.

Saturday I had a Delivery and Collection from the Industrial estate right next to Lakeside in Essex, it was dead but I imagine thats nuts today as well and a pain in the arse to get to the estate in an Artic.

Sausage and egg butty on toast brown sauce. Night and day v McNasty's version.
Edit: even better with double egg and runny yolk

The best cafes are where they cook them from fresh, rather than precook and keep warm to then finish. You wait longer, but the difference is well worth that wait.

Oh I know they are utter shite, doesn't stop them from tasting great though

Tin openers.

No matter the style or the price, they never last more than a year or two. That applies to Poundland shit, mid-range ones with fancy plastic handles for a few quid, or swanky designer-looking ones.

Missus blames me for always buying cheap crap and last time I just told her to get the fuck what she wanted. She got this chunky one from Debenhams or so where with a cushioned rubber handle and grip. Cost about twenty frigging quid.

Not had it 2 years and it's kaput.

Always the axle/spindle that joins the handle to the cutting wheel. It gets loose and jiggles about meaning the wheel doesn't cut through the tin lid.

Any recommendations for a tin opener that lasts? Or should I just go back to getting the old fashioned all-metal ones that struggle to last a year but represent a cost saving over time?

I've given up with tin openers for the very same reason so now I only buy tins with pull rings.

If I could buy the really old fashioned ones like my nan used to use I'd get one.

Ignore Rob.  He sits in his truck on Clacket Lane services tucking into Foie Gras sarnies and a tupperware bowl filled with White Truffle Tagliolini.

McNastys Double Sausage and Egg are fucking great.

Bottom side of the M25, I can honestly say I've never stopped there, usually Toddington or South Mimms if I'm down that way.

Tupperware? Tupperware? Best bone china plates and silver cutlery I'll have you know.

McNasty's isn't food, its just shite. Just took the lad to the local cafe, he's just had a proper full English and I hate scrambled egg and tomato on toast, free cooked on proper tasty brown bread. Now that's food

Prince Charlie's voice.

The whole inbred bunch all speak posh, but when I hear the Queen or William/Harry speak, it doesn't particularly grate.

But Charlie seems to effect the most pompous, superior posh voice he can. Like he's trying to out-posh everyone else. He's a supercilious twat anyway, and that voice just adds to it.

My missus is quite middle class, she even holds her little finger out when she eats and she's tried to change me from the scruffy twat she first met in town.



It hasn't worked

Fly tippers.

Walked along part of the canal which I haven't been on during lockdown and noticed a large pile of building rubble had been dumped on the far bank. The arseholes had ripped down a fence to access the bank.

I have an electronic darts scoreboard to go with my dartboard, the electronic scoreboard has a mode which you can play against the computer built into the electronic scoreboard, i gave up playing the computer as i started to owe it £10 as i've lost that many matches.

[AndyInVA]

Reading in the paper that the BBC received 116,000 complaints about the DofE coverage (thats OK).

Hearing the BBC made a web page specifically so that people could more easily make a complaint about DofE coverage (also OK).

Hearing that 116 people actually complained to the BBC because the BBC made it too easy to complain about DofE coverage - For fucks sake, really
