lol, I love the way you said it like it's some new thing that no one has heard of... 'what is this... "Subway" you speak of?'

I eat there so much that the staff just go 'the usual?' hahaha.

I pretty much always go for the 'sandwich of the week', which is a different sandwich each week, and costs 2,50 euro.
I'm a real cheapskate.
The only time I dont, is when it's a veggie sandwich, or one with fish on it.

I too get the Sub of the Day, unless it is tuna, or Meatball Marinara because I can't always be bothered with how messy that one is haha

Mmm I do quite like "Subway" but try not to eat out too much in general.

I almost always go for the BMT... Mmmm....

I rarely have Subway and when I do I never touch the chicken ones. Food poisoning do not want.

Had TKD lesson today. Was good. Could have been better, though. Will sleep now.

Why would one get food poisoning from their chicken?

I just rode 10 km's on the stationary bike, while watching That 70's Show, and afterwards I ate 2 brown sandwiches with baked egg (stirred) and cheese.

I don't buy any chicken from fast food chains. Campylobacter + Salmonella FTL.

The Italian BMT looks pretty nice, will try that next time

Haha, 6" sub of the day on italian herbs and cheese, with cheese, not toasted, all salad except chillis, mayonnaise, meal deal, double chocolate chip cookie, dispenser drink

Did you watch Watchdog that was on just last week? They tested five fast food resturants (McD's, Pret-a-minger, BK, KFC and Subway) at five locations in the UK. They found that only Subway and Pret had acceptable hygiene levels (so although I don't eat out that much, I rekon I can confidently eat a sub). I think IIRC BK had traces of bacteria on their cloth sample but nothing major but McD's and KFC didn't look too good. (I don't eat there anyways).

Nah mate I don't watch it. What is Pret-a-minger??

BiscLimpkit · Post by **BiscLimpkit** » 07 Dec 2007, 18:37

My piss take on pret-a-manger (expensive sandwich/sushi place).

Oh right, I haven't heard of that, we don't have one here.

I'll just post this here, since no-one is likely to care.

Say hello to my brand new Christmas present:

A fixed 16/9 305x172cm projection screen.
That's 351 centimeters (138 inches !) in diagonal.

If (or when) I make the move to HD-DVD (or Blu-Ray), I won't ever need to go to the theater ever again.

Markgway · Post by **Markgway** » 19 Dec 2007, 16:36

Present?? Who the fork is buying you that?

It's called a girlfriend.
I don't know what it is exactly, but all it does is hang around me and say "I love you" all the time.

It's also a great sex toy.
