State of the Game

Going back to the wimpy discussion, I had my 5th birthday party (shared with someone I don't remember) in a wimpy.

I got into trouble though, when the Mr wimpy character came round to wish me and someone a happy birthday.

Because I punched him in his big bulbous nose.
I remember him getting pushed over by some kids outside our local Wimpy years ago with predictably hilarious consequences. (Two blokes had to come out from the restaurant to get him back on his feet :ROFLMAO:) I imagine he carried the memory of the indignity to the end of his days.

Hahahaha! He was kinda asking for that being outside the wimpy nowadays! It must be an awful suit to try and wear...!

Wasn't even nowadays, this would have been mid to late 80s - the Wimpy got bought out and turned into a Burger King a few years after that and even that closed years ago, we only have a McDonalds now :( These days they'd probably just take a pic of him and post something snide on insta about him, which I guess is progress of a kind.

True. I guess it depends where you live really - I'm sure he'd get shanked somewhere for doing that! ;)
Disappointing that you can't get a bender or a whopper now though :(

BK will always remind me of skiving off school, grabbing a burger and going off up a big hill in my mates cortina with a bottle of cider.
Our local one shut in the mid 90's and the was lamented for decades however a new one reappeared a year or so ago.
Don't give up hope - even in the crummiest of areas the skanky, roadmen filled mess that is macdonalds eventually gets deposed.

Bristol Airport BK is the place to be. Nothing fortifies you more than a BK XL bacon double cheeseburger before the Ryanair runwalk to the terminal.

Years ago I arrived at the bus terminal in Memphis at about 5am and starving hungry.
I bought a McD cheesburger, bit in to it and a massive globule of something (assumed greasy fat) exploded in my mouth.
Never eaten one since and feel physically sick whenever I see the golden arches :sick:

I had to consciously, physically shut my eyes before finishing that second sentence.

I used to work at a Taco Bell. You wouldn't believe the things I saw going into burrito supremes.
