Currently Burger King is promoting their new burger with 100% Angus Beef. According to the adverts it's "Certified".

"...and a side order of prions please."

A well thought-out, brilliant riposte.

Yay! Iamcal is open to new members!

However, I must confessed to being a bit confused - that's the correct spelling of certified, is it not?

Grim... Certified. Prions. Mad Cow Disease. (Google)

Admittedly not one of Sul's best, but he was trying, bless 'im.

Fuck off! How am I the only person to think that using the word "certified", in conjuction with british cow meat, is a little dodgy? I saw it on a bus poster and laughed to myself.

Oh fine. Fuck you guys. I'm off to singapore. I'd like to say I'll see you in two weeks but I know for a fact that I'll check in on you cunts.

I'm a slow reader. currently mid gate change after 2 hour delay at heathrow. grrrr

that's why the seasoned traveller ALWAYS carries spare gates. sometimes you have to change gates 4 or even 5 times in a trip. and there's nothing worse than crawling off the end of a long-haul trip in a reeking stinking soiled gate.
