Wow! Where is McDonald's going to get the food? Perhaps from some restaurant that serves actual food and will give it away for fr... er, sorry, the exposure?

The ONLY thing on this planet worth anything is a persons time. When you buy something you are buying someone's time. That computer you are staring slack jawed at? The minerals took time to get out of the ground, time to make into electronics, time to ship, time to build and fuel the lorry that transported, time to design the computer, time to build it, time to ship it to you.
All we have is time.
Any complete and utter fuckwit who thinks IP theft (aka piracy) is OK, please come and mow my lawn. I will pay you £100. In advertising of how good you are. That will be on my blog and Facebook and here.

Little planes pooping pink slime on my car? Merciful jesus I've heard it all.
I'll have the haggis fingers, please.
Or those two girls.
