Old McDonald has a gripe. Eee Aiii Eee Aiii O

McDonalds Back in Court Again

I see that Ronald and his Burger Boys are once again using the legal system for what it was intended - to protect the giants from ordinary folk and there audacity to have an opinion.

McJob has found a place in the Dictionary.

"To work at a godless multinational food corporation wearing some god awful almost sub human uniform shelling out below standard food to fat almost human creatures."

McDonald's wants the definition of McJob as a "job with few prospects" removed from dictionaries claiming "its a slap in the face to the 12 million industry's staff"

Wow thats a lot of acne seepage to wipe up.

I wonder what hell and damnation would break out should some enterprising fellow begin to market the McPasty?

Keep cooking Ronnie

My First Swallow!

Summertime and the immigrants are here.

Gulp

Forgot to mention that when I finally returned from the tedious Antiques Fair in Shepong Mallet I saw the latest immigrants whizzing around my house.

Yes in my opinion summer really does begin with the sightings of our feathered friends that have travelled from far away to enjoy our great British Summer.

Why do they return? What is it about summer in the UK that magnetically attracts these greedy gobbling birds?

Barbies - not toy dolls but the increasingly annoying take up of Australian lingo a haven for nasty gnats.

• Home pools - those dreadful blue plastic efforts that are rolled out and waste an inordinate amount of water - soaking sunburnt flabbies can stare up at the myriad of insects smacking their little lips at the prospect of a quick nip on puffy flesh.
• Dog muck on pavements present a veritable fly feast.
• Overflowing litter bins offering sweet treats for worrying wasps.

As Keats wrote

"Oh swallow, I am but a fool

you midge munching fellow,

skim away from my pool.

Barbeque smokes, the fayre is nasty

It spits you swallow

Tum te tum te tum..Pasty"

Microwave Ovens - beep beep ping!

'Has it really come to this' I pondered as the magic appliance announced its job done with a ping and a pong.

Munching for you.

On my return from a particularly dull visit to an Antiques Fair at Shepton Mullet I pulled the Bentley into a BP Wild Bean Cafe aka Petrol Station with refreshments.

I needed refreshments and they were ready to deliver. Three coffee makers producing freshly brewed espresso, cappuccinos, slarty blartfast latttes and a bank of microwaves to reheat snacks on the go. Hobsons Choice on the Pasty Front - them damned Ginsters atrocities. Be fair Mutt - the wrapper does read "New Improvoved Recipe" so I had to at least re-visit them.

Microwaving never does even the best of pasties justice but the Ginsters actually flopped into a soggy pancake after 30 seconds. the stench that greeted me when i opened the oven door was enough to embarrass me. I reckon other "diners" believed I had blown off as they wafted their menues nad screwed up their noses.

One bite - just one small bite and i could tell the only improvement necessary would be to recall all stock and publish an apology for being purveyors of rubbish grub.

All was not lost though - I remember this trick I read on the Microwaves R Fun site

Cut a grape almost in half, leaving som skin attaching each ahlsf and pop it in a micro for a spin. One in ten to fifteen grapes produce astonishing arcs and plasma.

May Bank Holiday looms and various events worthy of note.

Great West Run

Although I have become more disciplined when paying a visit to the Its My Market Blog Site - I did come across an old post from the IMM Admin Chaps who will be running and raising money for the Lifeboat Institution. It would be a nice gesture if the IMM community dipped into their pockets and offered a few bob - visit the http://www.justgiving.com/IMM page and remember to tick the "I'm a taxpayer - Gift Aid it" box.

They deserve every penny - hours spent trotting around the most uninspiring areas of Exeter is surely worth YOUR SUPPORT.

Lustleigh May Day

Pole dancing with a difference

The village of Lustleigh aka "Belgravia of Devon" holds a May Day event each year which offers a selection of ramshackle, unimaginative, tawdry side-stalls but does include a really good May Pole dance. This year its on Saturday Afternoon 5th May - paid parking in a feild is available - funds go to I know not where.

The "highlight" of the day is the crowning of a May Queen - a pagan ritual which somehow seems to fly under the radar in these politically correct days. Its just plain discrimination - sexist, ageist and heaven knows how the authenticity of virginity is checked.

Pasty Munchathon

Details still being finalised - bookmark this page and come back soon to learn about this truely Munchtastic happening.
