Personally it doesn't bother me at all on the basis that if you already eat dead cows what difference does it really make.
Horses for courses that's what I always say...well maybe I didnt ever say that, but I do now.
Anyway I was out today having been dragged by Mrs Pete to Westfield.
At the time of it's opening Westfield was reported to be the largest shopping centre in Europe, which my feet will now confirm cos they are killing me.
During this 5 hour shopping marathon we stopped off in a well known burger establishment and images kept flashing back in my warped mind as to what was actually in the quarter pounder on offer.
Things didn't start off well when the young man at the counter asked if I wanted anything on my burger and I told him I would have a fiver each way.
I also told him I was so hungry I could eat a horse which was met with the same retarded stare.
So eventually we sat down, with me reminding my long suffering wife that the burger I was eating was low fat, but full of shergar.
I can't say she laughed at this witticism, but by now I had (excuse the pun) the bit between my teeth, and I reminded her that this meal was the affordable way for our daughter to have that pony she always wanted.
For some reason this gastronomic experience ended quickly when I said 'heaven knows what is in their 'cock a leakie' soup'
I was then dragged out the establishment to continue the 'shopping experience'.
In am now back home to my country retreat, tired and exhausted and with definite plans to avoid similar shopping trips in the immediate future.
I am off to the New Forest for a couple of days on Wednesday.
The whole place is full of ponies and I just hope I can keep my mouth firmly shut whilst I am there.
P.S. Drive-Thru McDonalds are more expensive than I thought... once you've hired the car...

Good God Pedro - your day was worse than mine! You should've told me, I would have sent her to Ikea!
Now you tell me!!
Ok next time we send them both off together, and we sail down the river looking for mermaids.
Good plan - provided there are still
some mermaids there, I seem to be pissing them off today!
Following the exploits of Glynsky and Pete yesterday, maybe the diablog should be renamed a shopalog. I am still of working age and therefore cannot leave my work for such shopping. Also there is an advantage of living in Lithuania and not speaking Lituanian well enough as I cannot be dragged or sent to the shops to buy something for the home. I am also not very technical and even the Druid had to make and paint my Airfix model aircraft when I was a boy.
The only thing that I can remember technically was from the time from travelling behind the Iron Curtain with Glynsky. One of his mixing and processing vessels (I cannot remember the name but similar to Glynskymix) did not need a colloid mill. The reason being that Glynsky's chopper was so well developed and effective that a colloid mill was not necessary. Probably for this reasson, Glynsky had Top Womwn buzzing around him.
Now in office and time to start work.
Sorry
Last sentence, I meant Top Women !!!
Pete, have a good time in the New Forest, a very beautiful part of England. I used to go there with my Mum and Dad when I was young.
'old up Smiles? Whats this 'still of a working age' stuff?
Did you mean that at your age you are surprised it is still working?
You have penned a very confusing comment.
The Druid is an Airfix model?
You never leave work to go shopping?
The women were on top?
Time plays tricks with the memory.
I clearly wrote that the Druid had to make and paint my Airfix model aircraft. What are you writing about?
Regarding age, I am still below 60 years.
ER referred to your Top Women yesterday.
Wake up.
Good laugh again, Pete :)
I would have enjoyed being there and see this with my own eyes...haha:)
But OMG, 5 hours shopping? What were you guys shopping? I like shopping but I don`t think I ever spend that much time on it! 2 hours is the most I can do, by that time I am sick and tired of people and ready to kill who ever gets in my way!
Oh 'eck Pete, this means you will miss leering at Honey Ryder on thursday!
He will be leering at other Riders on New Forest ponies.
Dear Iren
5 hours shopping included traveling time (an hour and a half there and back) coffee breaks and lunch 1 hour, sitting on sofas in public areas 1 hour, and waiting outside changing rooms for Mrs Pete,1 hour, leaving about 30 minutes for me to try on warm North Face coats etc which I didn't buy.
Dear Glynsky
At no time have I been invited to meet 'Honey Ryder' on Thursday.
That is why I have to go away to drown my sorrows in the New Forest.
Oh thank God, I thought you guys were crazy :) Well, 30 mins was more something I was expecting. For some reason I could`nt see you walking around for 5 hours like that!
My dear chap, I have alluded to the forthcoming visit several times in recent comments.
I had intended to confirm times etc with you tomorrow.
C'est la vie. She'll be back in the future. I shall make sure for you.
