WES - I went to Azkadenya at the Mall Of The Emirates and actually had some great shawarma. In a fúcking Mall restaurant! Cheap as fúck too, well for Dubai.
No booze of course, but the bar war open at the Sheraton attached to the Mall :lager:
Ah ha! I've been to that mall once only and the first thing I thought of was that I needed to get to the food court to have a kebab!Quote:

It's hard to take such lists seriously, since it is impossible to avoid the suspicion that the answers are motivated as much by a desire to signal one's level of sophistication as by the food itself.Quote:

Equally, 'cheese in France'? What? Which cheese? Where in France?
But that's not the point. The real point is for the respondent to show what a colossal bell-end they are and thus garner bell-end points from their fellow bell-ends.
Someone had to say it, 71. I bet there's not even a ham egg and chips on that list.Quote:

This, basically. Although I might argue that it's less of a suspicion and more of a cold, hard, fùcking fact. :sherlock:Quote:

At Xmas, al the supermarkets loss lead with foie gras and sauternes doubles, so you can afford to have that with 2-3 mates for the price of a couple of pints each in a London pub.
Usual anti-EU racist bull**** from a paper owned by a couple of tax-haven based incestuous twins.
The only GB stuff I ever eat in France is PG tips. {G20 in Rue Rivoli sells them, round the corner from where I stay.} Though I might bring out some horseradish for my mates to try once next time, just so we can make loads of Rosbif jokes at each other.
Sometimes the yolks aren't even runny. :-(Quote:
