Am at macs (had d+v so couldn't face cooking for ds, si happy meal and water as a rare treat)

Mr spoc you are right... I'm sure I saw there 4x4 parked outside the chippy just now, and heard them asking in their plummy voices for a deep fried mars bar and a bottle of bru Grin

WTF is wrong with you OP? Why would you go to a restaurant when carrying a D&V bug?

MrSpoc · 18/05/2011 17:21

Ha ha greenline its a wind up

Goddamn it. You mean I went to the effort of calorie counting a big mac for no reason? So now I'll be sitting there eating one next time I'm in MaccyD's knowing how bad it is on a diet? :(

Pfft!

MrSpoc · 18/05/2011 17:24

Yeah i think I saw him on the strangeways programme. Was he the ginger fat man who kept undertaking all them dirty protests? I think his name was Dave???

MrSpoc · 18/05/2011 17:25

Nixea its ok. If you eat one then as long as you dont eat anything all day you will be fine.

Me I prefer the new Prada diet. Eat nothing then when your about to faint eat something little Smile

valiumredhead · 18/05/2011 17:25

You are actually judging someone eating in McD's and you are eating in there yourself???

Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha Grin

thaigreencurry · 18/05/2011 17:27

No harm in the odd happy meal. I agree with the OP that a young child shouldn't need to be fed a supersized adult meal, fast track to obesity imo. I'm surprised at the amount of people who think its terrible to feed their children McD's and yet happily feed them the plastic rubbish that calls itself food in Costa and Starbucks.

MrSpoc · 18/05/2011 17:27

Oh dear

Nixea · 18/05/2011 17:27

Ponders the wisdom of dividing a big mac meal into thirds....do-able. Definitely do-able! Breakfast, lunch and dinner right there I reckon! :)

MrSpoc · 18/05/2011 17:28

Just clicked. This is a special scientific thread to see how many people do not read post the opening post.

MrSpoc · 18/05/2011 17:29

Nixea because there are only 1200 calaries in a set meal could we just not have a large meal for breakfast then one at super? technically that will be 1 1/2 meals per day.

Nixea · 18/05/2011 17:31

Now that is sterling logic MrSpoc. If we went for a medium meal rather than large then there may even be enough in the calorie budget for a McFluffy for pud!

colditz · 18/05/2011 17:32

If I give my 8 year old a happy meal, I have to cook him a large meal when he gets home. If I give him an adult meal, he only has a snack.

he's a perfectly healthy weight, and always has been.

YABU for being in a place that serves food when you knew you had D &V

MrSpoc · 18/05/2011 17:33

do you think two apple paies are better than one Mcflurry? or two of the choco doughnuts??

Nixea · 18/05/2011 17:35

I was happily popping back and forth between the computer and the cooker doing tea...and now all I can think of is apple pies. A curse on you I say!

MrSpoc · 18/05/2011 17:37

Hmmm Applie Pies. Just realised we could set up a custard company selling little pots of custard to people going into McDonalds. I bet we could even get some profit on thier pies as more people would be buying them

TheVisitor · 18/05/2011 17:38

Sorry, I couldn't be arsed to clear up the sick. Mind you, isn't that what Johnny No Stars gets paid to do? My kids NEED 4000 calories a day to help them cope with the 40 fags they smoke.

Nixea · 18/05/2011 17:40

And imagine if we could franchise it as well....you could even go for syringes of custard to squirt into the middle. The possibilities are endless.

saffy85 · 18/05/2011 17:43

Public places like MacDonalds would pour that sand stuff over the mess first so they can sweep it away and then mop and disinfect the floor. TBF to this lady, sorry, "lazy slattern", she probably would have been told she wasn't allowed to use ther equipment due to 'elf and safety'. I was told this when DD ws suddenly and spectacularly sick on the floor in the library. I offered to clear it up and they said no for this reason.

YABU and unfairly judgy.

MrSpoc · 18/05/2011 17:43

Nixea - how dare you lower the tone with syringes. I have you know that they should be used out the back behind the bins. Cheeky bugger.

2BoysTooLoud · 18/05/2011 17:50

You all believe the op when she says it was a joke?
Maybe she decided to make it a 'joke' when people started having a pop at her!!
Just a thought....
