Is this what the boards have come to?? no wonder it's deadly on here, nit picking and sniping galore and no decent comment at all. I get what your post was about but I can't for the life of me see any reason to fall on your post like a starving dog to pick it to pieces. I don't begrudge them their fun, Lightning, I guess it's all they have.

It's very funny, I think, that Russia could consider banning Macca's ... but the restaurants in Russia are actually owned by MacDonald's Canada.

From Icy's link:

Reuters reported the first moves against McDonalds in Russia came from a health watchdog that accused the hamburger chain of sanitation violations and in a statement said the restaurant had deceived customers about the nutritional value of its food.

All you have to do is watch the documentary 'Super Size Me' to realize that losing McDonald's is no big loss. They're probably doing their citizens a favor.

Well, if your diet consisted of iceburg lettuce for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, you'd probably feel the same way about lettuce.

"Maccas don't sell anything I can recognise as a food item, ban it all and ban the trans fat industry as well."  Then ban Ronald McDonald House Charities ?

"On the ward
Each inpatient room has facilities for one parent to stay. If you intend to stay, please bring a sleeping bag or linen and a pillow. Alternatively, we are able to supply linen for you. Please store the linen in the drawer under your bed to use the following night. Parents are able to use the ensuite. Please reuse your towel.

Off the ward
Ronald McDonald House has 45 rooms for parents/carers of critically ill children, breastfeeding mothers and parents/carers who have had to travel a long distance. Ronald McDonald House also looks after limited accommodation close by to the hospital."

2009

FAST food giant McDonald's has been given the green light to sell Big Macs in Melbourne's new Royal Children's Hospital.

Gosh!

Way up on the Arctic coast

There's a club that's just the most

It's the place where the Russians go

Where the party lines on hold

The best nightclub in the USSR

Music vodka caviar

It's the cossacks local spot

Where they come in from the cold to that...



Jukebox in Siberia pounding out hysteria

Get down get down Vladivostok

Drop a rouble in the slot of that

Jukebox in Siberia Jukebox in Siberia



In the land of the midnight sun

Rasputin's having so much fun

Trotsky, Marx and Lenin too

They're all drinkin' at the bar

Kruschev he's there looking cool

Mikhael and Brezhnev shooting pool.

Ivan's up from Gorky Park

To hang out with the Tzar at that...



Jukebox in Siberia deep in the interior

Get down get down Vladivostok

All the Russians wanna rock to that

Jukebox in Siberia pounding out hysteria

All the Russians wanna rock

Drop a rouble in the slot of that

Jukebox in Siberia Jukebox in Siberia



When the needle hits that 45

All of Russia starts to jive

When Chuck Berry rings that bell

You know the revolution's alive and well



Deep beneath the polar ice

The Yankee sailors are dressed up nice

Take the sub up to the top

So they can get on down

If you're CIA or KGB

They might let you in for free

There's a red star on the door

You can hear the sound

Of Balalaika's ringing out

The Beatles singing Twist and Shout

I love the West I love their beer

I'm so glad Glasnost is here at that...



Jukebox in Siberia pounding out hysteria

Get down get down Vladivostok

Drop a rouble in the slot of that

Jukebox in Siberia Jukebox in Siberia

All the Russians wanna rock

Drop a rouble in the slot of that

Jukebox in Siberia Jukebox in Siberia
