Bully Wee Villa Posted August 14, 2020 Share Posted August 14, 2020 That doesn't answer either. Duodecimal should surely mean twelve pennies to the pound? 2+10=12, not 240! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought that was some old Tory wittering on but Parkyn was a Labour MP who was a conscientious objector in WWII and who won the Bedford seat from Fatty Soames' dad in 1964.

Hiya Synergy, hiya pal! Soviet Russia approves of this comment. So do large parts of Capitalist America. Speaking from experience.

Ah, but the name McDonald's is handily non-specific, whereas Taco Bell (or Pizza Hut in the European versions of Demolition Man) are both restricting themselves somewhat unless they engage in a serious rebranding exercise. I suppose they could just drop the Taco and become just 'Bell', although in North America, which would probably be their primary source of revenue, this runs the risk of the consumer being unable to differentiate between a restaurant franchise and a major telecommunications company. Perhaps I'm thinking about this too much. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps I'm thinking about this too much. True, but Taco Bell will sell you a Gordita, Chalupa, Mucho Grande Nachos, and have their own custom flavours of Mountain Dew. Even taking into account the cockroach parts, that's still the kind of quality McDonalds can only dream of. 47 minutes ago, tamthebam said: I suppose if Krispy Kreme, McDonald's, Taco Bell and Ben and Jerry's all merged the company could be called Krispy BellEnDs Sadly, we do not live in this world. The company that owns Burger King, Taco Bell, KFC, Pizza Hut, and assorted other brands is called...Yum. Yum.

The Real Saints Posted August 16, 2020 Share Posted August 16, 2020 I'm just about to submit my bank statement to a landlord, but just noticed that I've referenced one of my outgoing payments (a payment to my girlfriend after a Nando's takeaway) as 'chickennnnn muthafuckkkkkkka'. Now, is there any way of changing the content of these references after the payment has been sent? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Payment for Anal is a memorable one I will see if I can screenshot mines, they're all about dildos, nappies, used panties and most common is payment for crayon eating live feed. EDIT : can't screenshot it on my phone. I must have deleted the nappy and dildo ones there only remains 2 for dirty panties (1 a sniffer feed) and 2 for crayon eating.
