To prove that Des talks bollocks

The French eat more McDonald's products than anyone else in Europe.

(WorkTOG) spouted the following in

What exactly does this article prove ? More to the
point, did you even bother reading it ? It proves one
thing, and that is that McDonald's in France are
frequented more than those in other European
countries. Which I have never denied, you dribbling
retard.

What it fails to mention is that, as I have said
before, France is _the_ most popular holiday
destination on the planet. Guess where a huge
percentage of those holidaymakers come from. That's
right, Einstein: Britain and the United States.

I've never claimed that the French don't eat in
McDonald's. What I have claimed, is that a large
percentage of those whom you'll find in a typical
McDonald's, are American. The last time I was in one,
the only French people were me, my SO, and the bint
who took our order.

Your article 'proves' nothing, except that I was
right.

You thick, *thick* ****.

Did you read this bit ?

"Pound for quarter-pound, they eat more of it, more often, than any
other nationality on the continent"

 

Hardly surprising seeing that its often the only place open. To be fair
they do seem to cook the stuff fresh rather than have it stuck in a warm
box for hours beforehand.

 

It's still baby food.

 

Confession time - I actually ate in a McDo's on the way back from
Villeneuve last September. Was the only place I could find open, and I
really needed to drink, eat, drink and rest, after five hours riding
without a break (petrol excepted) in 30+degC heat.

I quite enjoyed it, actually, which I guess goes to show what a state
I was in

I haven't read it but a "pound for quarter-pound" sounds dodgy to me. I
mean a pound for me, a quarter pound for you....

Pretty soon you'll be having 100 burgers on one side and 25 on the
other.

 

It proves that TOG is an infantile twat who cannot resist poking a
dead fire, in order to resurrect a recently silent (and thankfully so)
troll from across the Channel.

Why would he trouble himself? The quote has had its desired effect,
as was eminently predictable.

 

They don't do "pounds" in frog McDo's, isn't a "quarter pounder with cheese"
known as a "cheese royale", or summat.
I must get around to watching Pulp Fiction again - it explains it all very
clearly.

I thought that France was very popular with the Germans ....

Royale with cheese. The name for the whopper still eludes me though.

A "tenth [1] with cheese"?

Indeed. Great film.

[1] Of a kilo [2]
[2] Strictly speaking, it's slightly more than a tenth but those burgers
always weigh less when cooked anyway ;-)

 

Oldbloke says...

IIRC it's a Royale with Cheese. Or summat.

We've been watching PF in work this week during lunch, it takes an awful
long time to get through at that rate..

Un-cork me to reply

 

That's the one.

Why? Do you only get 10 minutes for lunch?

At one time I seriously wanted to edit PF so that the film ran with the
correct sequence of events.

Then I thought about it, and couldn't really be arsed.

Well, I'm sure somewhere out there there's a DVD player that does this.

I'm still convinced there's a continuity error in PF.

Can't remember where it is though. That's why I thought about watching
it in sequence. Fact is though, that I buy about 6 or 8 DVDs a month as
I pass through airports; if I watch 2 in a month I'll have done well.

Still, my kids are developing a taste for Danish arse fucking movies.
Which is nice.

No, it's not one of those. I can't remember. Have to watch it again.
Maybe when I've some spare time next year.

 

Aye. Like watching Memento the right way round. I mean, what's the
point?
