    A Different Sign on the Burger Van

    Travelling in between one site and the other, I decided to pull over and have a bacon roll (sorry if there are any jews or muslims reading) and a cup of coffee at a burger van.

    As I was scanning the board for the chosen meal and associated prices, I noticed a day-glo sheet with the following on it.


    "Gay, Wierd (sic) or Vegetarian ?"

    It then listed various food stuffs under that heading.

    A tad unusual I thought, but it did make me smile.
    Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

    There's some amazing creativity in World of Warcraft. Must be the thinner oxygen from living in castles in the air.

      I was talking about a burger van on the A12. There are not, to my knowledge, any burger vans in WOW. I think the Taurens might object.

      Not quite sure I understand the castles in the air reference. The only castles in the air I saw were during the Scouge invasion a few years ago.

        Don't worry, it all went over your head.

        Still, may be an idea for a Plan B. Fast food to WOW, for when you absolutely mustn't leave the game. Surely McDonalds have already cashed in?

          I'd think the van owner was a narrow minded twat
          The court heard Darren Upton had written a letter to Judge Sally Cahill QC saying he wasn’t “a typical inmate of prison”.

          But the judge said: “That simply demonstrates your arrogance continues. You are typical. Inmates of prison are people who are dishonest. You are a thoroughly dishonestly man motivated by your own selfish greed.”

            Maybe he simply mixed up his marketing materials between his plan A and plan B

              What was in the gay foods section? Hot pork sandwich?

                I think it was stuff like pineapple burger.

                The van is there every day if anyone cares to have a look.

                It is located just off the A12 dual carriage way turn off to Witham (from London). 1st lay by on the left, opposite the vehicle fuel refilling station.

                  Can you take a photo next time you're there and post it here?
                  Don't ask Beaker. He's just another muppet.

                    I thought of that today, but I didn't want to get clocked by the owner or the customers, who might think it odd that I was taking pictures of their burger van.
