Forbidden Fruit

 Thursday 4 Mar 2010, 9:13 PM

Actually it was anything but fruit - today I went for my first proper McDonalds in 4 years (although it may only be 3) during a day out in London. The last one I had was a McBreakfast one morning on the way to the Royal Brompton hospital for my first appointment about my allergy - I remember it was May 10th and It would have been 4 years ago (or maybe 3 - the years seem to blur into one these days).

Anyway, in the meantime I have had the odd mcFlurry but today was a proper "meal" (regualr sized, not super) consiting of McNuggets with BBQ sauce, fries and a vanilla shake (Hmmmmm.... I can still taste the boiled hooves....)

Some people are really down on McDonalds but I don`t particularly see the problem. Yeah the food isn`t brilliant but it`s fast food - it`s not supposed to be. And yeah, a lot of it isn`t exactly healthy, but in moderation it`s really not an issue (one meal every 4 years is fine! 4 times a week like some people do is most definitely not good)

Eating the occasional McD`s when out and about as part of a healthy balanced diet should not be a problem. I will stop now as I sound like a government public information film.

Picture from Gong Tau

Gong Tau

Gong Tau, which, according to the film, translates as Chinese Black Magic, is a film about, well, Black Magic. And it`s not the usual chickens blood and yellow paper type of magic usually found in hopping vampire films either. This film proudly wears its Category III rating and generally deserves it although Arthur has seen worse...  Read More >>

No. 40: Cleaning Bedrooms

Bedrooms should not be scoured in the winter time, as colds and sickness may be produced thereby. Dry scouring upon the French plan, which consists of scrubbing the floors with dry brushes, may be resorted to, and will be found more effective than can at first be imagined. If a bedroom is wet scoured, a dry day should be chosen--the windows should be opened, the linen removed, and a fire should be lit when the operation is finished.
