I motion we discuss the low number of Burger Kings there are these days.

Yeah, damn shame. My local Burger King was closed a couple of months ago. It was inside Mayday Hospital lol.

Hello UK GAF.

my topic for discussion

How good will Being Human be with no Mitchell? Can the show ever have a series 5 after Russel Tovey (George) announced series 4 was his last.

Nice to meet you all. I don't think I was around when the last UK thread was here so i'll be apart of this one.

What the hell has happened to the UK music industry? Feels like most of the British genres have died out and the others have been overtaken by American influences. Guess it's what sells but it's boring having the same thing all round.

I don't see how anyone can criticise this frankly, not with how terrible Labour have become and how meh the Lib Dems have turned out to be.

We are in a sorry state of having no political party with any real value, the only advantage is we don't have the massive polarisation that the US has that can cause real problems, at least our party's can agree on the important shit without having to score points with some mad right / left wing base.

No need to.

London manages that quite well itself.

Good luck finding them, we've got loads of the things in London.

Do you ever look at the XL Bacon Double Cheeseburger and think, "holy shit I need that bacon fix", then when you unwrap the microscopic parcel are consumed with feelings of regret, while everyone else is munching their decent sized whoppers?

As it appears on the menu:
Whopper

XL BDC

Actual size:

You must be getting it confused with the normal sized BDCB. XL BDCB is the same size as a double whopper, minus salad. 62g of glorious protein.

You don't win friends with salad.

Aha, you're probably right. Still, those prices eh? EH?

Have any of UK Gaf been on any of these free walks? http://www.walk4life.info/ If so, were they any good?

Will probably do one or two with my bird this weekend as it's her last weekend in London before buggering to do an NCTJ in Brighton.

I can understand why you'd want to get the walks out of the way.

You can't say "The lib dems are doing bad now, so it's alright not to have voted for them"

If the Lib Dems had a majority we'd be looking at massive voting reform, I doubt even AV+ will get pushed through now.

Gourmet Burger Kitchen Kiwi burger is hype.

Pineapple on burgers is a fucking great idea.

I might have to try that burger place next time I'm passing through Birmingham (none in Wales).

I voted Lib Dem, but if they had won a majority they would have shit the bed frankly.

A Labour / Lib Dem coalition would have looked good on paper but only with a new leader.

Tory / Lib Dem was the best of a bad bunch for me because I believe pretty strongly in conservative fiscal policy, if not their support of the moneyed braying yahoos they knock about with.
