How much would you have to be paid to work in say, Burger King, at a service station for a year?

[Jake]

And live in the Travelodge opposite.

It would be far away, off the M4 in Wales or something.

How much would it take?

[Ashberto]

[Snin]

plus be lots of bantz..go for it jakey boy..do some surfing too..save some cash living out your travel lodge...get your partridge on and go for it

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

Loving.' One of my favourite novels, like, evs.

I commend it to you highly, young j.

The answer is, just enough to live and afford a few pints of a Friday night. I am content with the simple life these days. And a service station on the M4 is going to be a sort of cosy, self-contained community; a comfortable, self-contained oasis, remote from the care of life.

I'd love it.

Also, and I cant stress how crucial a point this is, the other part of the happy venn diagram is that they're rather easy with their favours too.

In fact, I would suggest summering in Magwyr Services Burger King would improve a chap's average significantly more than a gap yah spent being bitten by malariasquitos in Thailand.

The idea is that it all adds up to something half-decent, I suppose. Hemingway, for instance. Lots of short words. No adjectives. Still good words.

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

I never knew that.

[Berni]

However, rather a lot of them are fat and orange these days. And you can't imagine the ones you pick up in said establishment (what I have visited many times) are likely to be up to much. Although, given what the nylon trousers are likely to do to one's downstairs hygiene, it's a case of beggars can't be choosers.

Not that I'm making a moral judgement, I admire a sexually liberated lady, especially one with low standards and high consumption.

They sent another the other day and had included a 6 grand pay rise.

Nailing her colours to your mast identifies her as a lady of outstanding taste and discernment.

Whether she goes like a ****house door in a storm is not a matter for our contemplation.

[Snin]

quite prim and proper and very naive imo ..and once the snakes unleashed they leg it.

Also there are a LOT more fat and orange ones these days

they arealso quite family orientated..id say you wont get as much as you think your going to get at the start of the night..if you get my drift

At least amongst those capable of human speech.

I'm glad it's all worked out in the end.

Paypal okay?

It would be a terrible undignified end. :-(

John Henry is an African-American folk hero and tall tale. He is said to have worked as a "steel-driving man"—a man tasked with hammering a steel drill into rock to make holes for explosives to blast the rock in constructing a railroad tunnel. According to legend, John Henry's prowess as a steel-driver was measured in a race against a steam powered hammer, which he won, only to die in victory with his hammer in his hand as his heart gave out from stress.

[Berni]

type I am describing.

I think deformed may be a touch strong. Obviously, one is not selecting from the top drawer here (one is in Wales, after all), but I can pretty much guarantee she would put a chap through his paces and no mistake.

The large version of that is by some distance the best thing Burger King has to offer as I recall.

And onion rings, of course.

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

It's for real?

How much is on offer? What qualifications would I need?

Best we ever got was some out of date chocolates he had to nick.

They sounded like f**king nazis.

I happened to be in one last saturday, a "motorway service station" no less.

Chicken Fries.

:nod:

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

Here, you can watch it if you like.

[Steve Williams - gay for Mark Knopfler]

The whole public thing, especially with a bad hangover.

They sacked me on the pretense of "not being suitable for retail".

[Berni]

chicken.

At one point, I noticed in a service station that Wimpy had taken to doing fried chicken as well. It struck me that this was a rather splendid idea. You could order your burger and whatnot and just have a couple of pieces of fried chicken on the side. Why not? Why must I be forced to choose between fried chicken and burgers? Why not both?

What is wrong with people in this country that this hasn't happened years ago?

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

Chips with chicken?

[Berni]

One of those.

[Steve Williams - gay for Mark Knopfler]

One would not be shocked to hear such a racket at the local GAA hall in Termonfeckin.

"a philosophical or rhetorical question"

[Steve Williams - gay for Mark Knopfler]

I had Lego shaped chips last year, in Legoland oddly enough.

Not my best meal ever.

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

How was it?

[Steve Williams - gay for Mark Knopfler]

I had barbecue sauce as a side.

And a whopper of course.

[Jake]

As well as chatting to most the staff whilst steamingly baked.
