You can get a steak slice and a hot drink for two quid at Greggs. What more could you possibly want in life?

A non tory government & peppered steak.

 

[Camper Van Beethoven]

Listening to my colleagues talk about how Corbyn is a terrorist sympathiser and will destroy the country is really giving my confidence and hope a whack.

But I'll be voting Labour after work.

Hope it works out.

You shouldn’t have any confidence.

 

[jem0208]

Bath is one of those ones where Jeremy Corbyn youth strategy might win a seat for lib Dems. Got a big boost in voting registrations bath did.

My area had one of the biggest. Bethnal Green & bow. But it's a safe Labour seat. I'd be shocked if all the extra voters were somehow not for Labour.

Hopefully.

I'm just worried those new registrations will vote for Labour and the Tories will narrowly win it.


Basically fuck our voting system.

A sausage roll from when they used to be like 40 pence.

 

[phisheep]

Neither Tory nor Labour nor Lib Dem but a benevolent philosopher king.

I'm re-reading Plato at the moment, and I dreamt last night of Paxman interrogating Socrates. Paxman lost big time.

 

[SKINNER!]

Now now, there's nothing wrong with Burger King

Aye. there's nothing wrong with BK burgers since the price justifies it. Five Guys burgers are not worth over £10. Passing it off as some kinda hip Americana fast food gourmet joint...fuck that. Not to mention their burgers taste nowhere near as good as in the US. At least Shake Shack is better.

 

[QuicheFontaine]

Bacon Double Chess XL > 5 Guys.

I got an XL bacon double cheese at a service station the other week, nine quid ;_;

 

[King_Moc]

Bacon Double Chess XL > 5 Guys.

The double whopper is the king of bk burgers.

I'm partial to a five guys, but it's hard to justify paying restaurant prices at a fast food chain.

 

[FlammableD]

Did my bit, now I'll try not to think about it.

 

[Protome]

I might go to Bread Meats Bread for lunch now. Thanks guys. I can always rely on UKPoliGaf to make me hungry.

A sausage roll from when they used to be like 40 pence.

Those always reminded me of CMOT Dibbler's sausage inna bun from Discworld.

 

[8bit]

It is my understanding that a Tim Hortons opened in Glasgow in recent weeks.



Just further evidence of the unacceptable North/South divide.

It used to be Dunkin Donuts many years ago, and was open through the night. I believe it was the only one in the world to need a bouncer.

Anyway, if you're in Glasgow, Bread Meats Bread is the best.

 

[Audioboxer]

Does this mean there is hope from all these new young voters? Nah, it's cause all the old people are living longer #despair

 

[WhateverItTakes]

this is clearly the most accurate representation of this election

The Tories killing the NHS felt so right

 

[Chris1]

I should try bread meats bread sometime

A sausage roll from when they used to be like 40 pence.

Seriously though 90p for a sausage roll is a rip off. Didn't go to greggs for a long time since they were like 55p each and thought the woman serving me was taking the piss when she said 1.80 for 2

 

[nowarning]

XL Bacon Double Cheese is the one, I used to love them.

Voting after work, my polling station is literally like 100 yards from my house haha

 

[Baleoce]

I hate how papers can be politically affiliated and how much influence they have. Almost no culpability when it comes to libel as well.

 

[Maledict]

I don't understand five guys at all. It's priced like a proper burger restaurant (Hache, Honest Burger, Pattis buns) but tastes only marginally better than a Mac Donald's. Why would you ever go there?

(Clapham high street now has a GBK, Hache, Honest Burger and a Byrons and a five guys is just about to open - plus a regular Macdonalds as well. I really don't see the market for that place!)

There's one in Edinburgh now too

And there's a Topalabamba across the road from both of them which is a weird coincedence.

Simpler times. It's time to defund the NHS to subsidise the sausage roll prices.

 

[Hasney]

Deliveroo delivers KFC, Five Guys and Burger King to me, so I guess Taco Bell will follow. But it's hard to care when Almost Famous is on there. Frazzles in a burger, the mad men!

 

[Psychotext]

A couple of times recently I've had awful buns on my xl bacon double cheeseburgers. Fuck knows what they're doing. Ruining a once every couple of months treat.

Anyway, drag some yoof to the polling booth with you when you go, and make sure to hobble some grannies on the way.

 

[Dougald]

My Dad went to the polling station in a red jacket, red shirt, red trousers and red shoes

Spoiler

he still tactically voted LibDem though. First time in his life too.

 

[Ashes]

Hopefully.

Alternatively it was the brexiteers all along who formed most of these new voters!

 

[Go_Ly_Dow]

Polling day, the day in which we know it's out of our hands and thus we can talk about burgers n shit.

Results day, the day on which we feel nothing but dread for our futures.

Enjoy it folks.

 

[danowat]

Taco Bell?, in more UK locations?, what wizardry in this?

I can remember getting Taco Bell at Lakeside once, some years ago, but didn't think the proliferation went any further than that.

 

[hohoXD123]

I'm in one of the tightest Tory/Labour marginals in the country. Gonna do my bit to kick the Tories out, wouldn't be able to complain about their fuckups over the next few years otherwise.

 

[Chinner]

Should I get burger King or taco bells for lunch people?

These are the important questions.

 

[itsbenoclock]

The most sickening thing I've seen this election cycle is people comparing Five Guys to Burger King.

 

[Xun]

I find it bizarre.

I think a lot of it is down to the novelty of it to be honest.

The fact it's an American chain probably helps.

A Chipotle opened near work recently (London).

It's trash.

Chipotle? Meh.

Benito's Hat 4 lyfe!

It's expensive now though...

 

[Xiofire]

Should I get burger King or taco bells for lunch people?

Get both.

Soon we won't be able to afford anything, so might as well live it up.

 

[Khoryos]

With regards to Taco Bell, though... I thought our TB was good, but then I went to America and sampled the real thing.

No Baja Blast, no triple-stack Crunchwrap, no Doritos Locos Tacos - it's barely even a pale imitation, closer to a cruel mockery!

 

[Morat]

I know these are dark times, but suicide is an extreme reaction.

 

[Uzzy]

A non tory government & peppered steak.

Mmm, peppered steak. Not sure they can do much about the first though.

A sausage roll from when they used to be like 40 pence.

There's been a horsemeat scandal since then, I'm not sure they could get the prices that low again.

In other news, I saw this over on r/ukpolitics and laughed.

Don't despair, in a few months the press will have to face the wrath of a mildly worded letter of frowny faces from the PCC

A bag of boiled rice. Save that money for what is to come.

 

[hodgy100]

5 guys food is shit.

Their shakes are amazing though!

 

[Stop It]

Supposed left wing forum in elitist food argument shocker.

Fuck you all. When I visit Manchester I always forget about the Taco Bell there as it's an aim of mine to try it.

Also I like Nandos.

To the above poster who mentioned Benito's Hat , it is indeed nice.

 

[Chinner]

I don't think I can buy a bag of boiled rice.

 

[Mr. Sam]

Chipotle? Meh.

Benito's Hat 4 lyfe!

I hate Benito's Hat - it's always loud and dark and the portions are tiny. I don't know if it's just the one near me that's lit like an Abercrombie and Fitch with the soundtrack to match.

Tortilla's pretty good, though I tend to go for the vegetarian option because I find it more flavorful.

Shout out to Honest Burger. We have one in Greenwich now and they are great.

No idea why people would go to Five Guys when there are so many proper burger restaurants around.

 

[Linkstrikesback]

Neither. You're already going to be sick tomorrow, why make it worse?

 

[Meadows]

If you come to Manchester and have Taco Bell instead of Pancho's then you deserve to be put in an internment camp

 

[QuicheFontaine]

I find it bizarre.

They give you chips, in a cup! Imagine that!

 

[Audioboxer]

Your local food bank might do them. Remember some Tory MPs said food banks are a blessing. Might as well use them.

 

[liquidtmd]

May-bot cannot imagine such things, 404 not found. Cones for all

 

[Uzzy]

Doubt they have chip spice though, so why even bother.

 

[BossDarkseid]

The results will be depressing but the roller coaster of emotions over the weekend as I spy on people's reactions in the E3 Threads will be fun. Small mercies and all that.

I have no opinion on burger joints. Although when I went to Madrid two or three years ago I did have a burger that made me question life. It was nice, just pretty massive. Was surely a trip to Shit Mountain after that one.

 

[H1PSTER]

Bacon Double Chess XL > 5 Guys.

You can ask for an extra patty + cheese, obviously it costs more but THREE burgers in that bun is just incredible.

 

[King_Moc]

I don't think I can buy a bag of boiled rice.

Not with that attitude you can't.
