Not even given it an ounce of thought when there's usually a Costa or Starbucks nearby. Coffee drinkers have told me McDonalds coffee is much better. They might be tight and that’s why they say it but I wouldn’t know. Quote

But going to McDonald's for a coffee or hot chocolate isn't really the proper reason people usually go there for Granted the food is unhealthy as fuck but if you're walking in there expecting some Michelin star food or organic rabbit food you've already made a mistake.

When I first saw the sign and it has the word McDonalds above the door I will be honest mate it had me fooled... I thought it was going to be a classy up market establishment and thought to myself 3 Star Michelin food all the way... Boy was I in for a surprise, No-one at the door asking for my reservation or able to guide me to a window seat, no table cloth, napkins in a glass, candles or even mood lighting, no waiter, or waitress to take my order and to be at my beck and call at the click of a finger.. no fine selection of wines or spirits?? even the seats were not the upholstered kind I was expecting... even worse there was no washroom attendant to offer me a towel after washing my hands or nothing?? And all that simply because I saw the word McDonalds and somehow linked that to being a classy place to eat like the Ledbury... Edited October 16, 2018 by Bluewolf 1 Quote

I wasn’t aware there was a “day” for it but social media is telling me there is. I find it a bit silly that there’s a specified day for it because everyday should be Mental Health Day but I’m digressing from the real reason why I’m posting. We all spend far too much of our lives on here discussing Football with relative strangers. Most of us haven’t met, will probably never meet but have ‘relationships’ with other lads behind a screen, phone or tablet and really we don’t know the first thing about each other. I reckon I’m not alone in saying that my private messages are open should anyone ever decide they want to get something off their chest to a complete stranger. Talking does help and any message sent would be in the strictest confidence. A bit of a soppy post but most of us here are blokes between the ages of 18-40 and suicide is the biggest cause of death for our age group and as blokes, we’re usually terrible at talking about feelings and stuff like that. Speak up lads. Chat to someone. Offload it all on someone. It might save your life. Stay safe lads. Have you ever suffered from mental health issues? Quote

I don't suffer from depression anymore, but I'm very prone to it as I still have anxiety. Everyday should be mental health day. Is that generalised anxiety Brian? Quote

These are nonprofit organisations, most of which are run by volunteers, that I gladly donate to. Somebody is always there to listen. I got put of them. I rang one once and I heard the girl laugh. Don't let that put other people of though I'm sure most are good Quote

There's a lot of tight people these days and it's no longer embarrassing to be tight. As for Costa and Starbucks... It's coffee made in a commercial manner and has very little relative mess to a coffee that done properly in a proper coffee place. Quote

SirBalon Posted October 17, 2018 Posted October 17, 2018 It's extremely rare, but on the occasion where I'm absolutely rushed and going from one place to the next without time for lunch and want a bite to eat, but want it instantly... Then Pret A Manger is where I end up going in and out of. McDonald's like KFC is really proof that people disrespect their body in every way. Quote

All the same as with smoking and abusing alcohol etc... The truth is out there if people really care and they only have themselves to blame for the results. Quote

Bluewolf Posted October 18, 2018 Posted October 18, 2018 Typical... just finished shift and off for 4 days and I have been hit with 'Man Flu'... I was fine this morning and have obviously been ambushed by something nasty this afternoon... I have not got the energy to fight it.. the symptoms have taken hold already, I am ebbing away.... it's the end.. I can feel it!! Better get a rota up for the rest of the family on who gets to bring the teas and coffees up to me while I am laid up in bed for the next few days recovering.. I had better do it now while I am still strong enough to hold a pen without assistance.. 2 Quote

My voice will be so weak I doubt anyone would hear me calling out so better with the rota that way someone is available at 15 minute intervals to check up on me in case it gets any worse.. I would hate to think that I might pass away with a cold cup of coffee in my hands.. that would be the pits.. When a woman is in labor the pain is so great that she can almost start to imagine what the man is going through when he has this flu... Quote
Subscriber RandoEFC+ Posted October 18, 2018 Subscriber Posted October 18, 2018 Have to say I don't mind McDonald's that much but on the Isle of Man it's a pretty captive audience, no KFC, no Burger King, no Nandos and we're now down to just two Subways. First world problems and that. Quote
