Kia Armani. I shit you not.
There's a little lad who lives near me called 'Kenzie'. There's another one called 'Diego' nearby too.
They sound shithouse.
The president of Vietnam died yesterday. It seems to have received almost no news coverage at all, outside of Vietnam.
Name styles changes over time. Im all for staying with naming traditions through. If you were born in England to an English family with an English background. Your name should not be Fernando, it should be Dave.
My Indian friend is married to an Indian women. Both of their parents were born in India. They are having a baby boy. My recommendation for the name being Dhalsim was declined. Instead, they are planning to call him Leo.
You can call your child whatever you want. But like everything in life, there are advantages and disadvantages. If you have twins called Ping and Pong, im going to clown them at school from 9am to 3pm if they are in my classes.
This is currently making news in Vietnam. Latest series of the bachelor, and one of the woman announces that she has found love... but with another contestant. they then both leave together
Does anyone else find this allergy death story a bit odd?
If your allergies are that severe, wouldn't you just avoid anything that isn't able to comprehensively rule particular ingredients out, even if that means never eating anything that you haven't meticulously prepared (or researched) yourself?A girl with a severe sesame allergy died after eating an airport Pret a Manger baguette, which did not list the ingredients. Natasha Ednan-Laperouse, 15, collapsed during a flight from Heathrow to Nice on 17 July 2016. Despite her father administering two EpiPen injections, Natasha, from Fulham, London, died within hours, West London Coroner's Court will hear.
Yeah I can't understand their logic there. No ingredients listed so she can eat it and if she dies it's Pret's fault?
It's required by law now to have an ingredients list with all possible allergens available.
Edit: seems like they do have those available. Not sure why you wouldn't ask then.
I do like the outrage when stupid people die. It’s like these idiots that ‘fall’ from balconies every year.
And it's not like sesame seeds are hidden. As soon as it gets to your table or comes out of the packet, you're gonna see them.
I echo everyone elses thoughts on that story. I can't say I'm a particular fan of "Pret", but I don't think it's fair that they're effectively getting their name dragged through the mud in the national press over this.
Unfortunately, we live in such a fucking sensitive society now that if they tried to defend themselves by putting out a statement along the lines of "we're obviously very sorry she's dead, but if her allergies were that severe she either shouldn't have risked it or at least asked somebody first" then, even though it's a perfectly reasonable line of thought, the OUTRAGE would be so severe that it would ruin them. So there's nothing they can really do.
To be fair I'm not sure there's even a suggestion that they're blaming Pret. The article just states that there's an inquest, and that everyone's sad she's dead.
The dad was blaming Pret on the radio this afternoon.
His line about the epi-pen having always worked before betrayed a somewhat casual approach to not dying, imo.
Seems the allergy was fairly serious though. What is the allergy seriousness level above death? Spontaneous combustion on contact?
That'll probably end up in death too.
Epi-pen isn't supposed to save you, it's just supposed to buy you time. If you're on an airplane I can't imagine there's too much that can be done.
Imaginr being deathly allergic to sesame seeds though, lol.
Speaking of Epi-pen I recently learned about Naloxone. Now that stuff is mega.
I'm a twit
It's the fight for democracy everyone has waited a generation to see, it's Hitler vs Lennin.

I've heard of people named after pretty much every public figure except him. The fuck were his parents on?
The best one is in the final sentence. What's the thinking there?
It was the same when the first one opened in Edinburgh. People go mad for them for no discernible reason. It's just an above average donut. The owner of a cafe near me sent her husband through to Edinburgh for a box of them every morning then sold them for a fiver each, and they were always gone in about an hour. She must have made a few grand doing that before they opened one in Glasgow, and now they're everywhere.
I don't get it. They seem to be at every service station in the country thesedays, so it's not like they're scarce. Yet I constantly see posts on Facebook and Instagram about how UNBELIEVABLE they are. They're just donuts.
There's a kiosk in Silverburn doing them but demand is still high enough that the Tesco two hundred yards away can run a vending machine full of them that seems to need restocking three times a day.
It's not like it won't be there tomorrow or next week or next month either. The thing is 24hr with a drive through for fucks sake.
Same thing happened in Mexico. Multi-hour long lines to get a fucking donut, when you could just walk into the adjacent supermarket and get one of similar quality immediately. Mongs are everywhere.
They aren't even good donuts.
They are if the only thing you respond to is sugar.
It also irritates me they are called 'krispy'. Why? They aren't.
They're complete diabetes and every taste brings you closer to death. I'd rather have a Tesco jam doughnut
All the more recent American chain imports have just been twice the money for a product that struggles to better what we already had.
They are good donuts. They aren't worth the money, and I like those five for a quid custard ones from Sainsbury's (they do the best ones); but let's not pretend they aren't good.
Compared to other fast food burgers, at least they are edible. But yeah, at that price point you can get real food.
I lolled at the cup thing and the twat said the cup is the portion size but they just give you extra.
Five Guys is good, but for fifteen quid I'd like a plate, not a greasy paper bag that would look much more at home with the lip of a Tudor Rose bottle sticking out of it.
The one thing they do that isn't overpriced is the BLT. It's a fiver, but it's about twenty times better than those BLT sandwiches Tesco and that do for three quid.
Five Guys is ok but there's at least six places in Dublin I'd go for a burger ahead of it off the to of my head.
I'm very much sick of every new place that opens being a fancy burger restaurant at this point so will instead go for the cheapest shit possible which is still admittedly the third most expensive McDonalds in the world.
Five Guys is terrible.
