He was buying a McDonalds on Hammersmith High Street in the 80s.

Not much of a post or a story, but I thought I would share.

I also met Geoff Capes at around the same time. Not at the same McDonalds. At Peterborough train station.

Could you sense a seething hatred for drag queens smouldering behind his eyes?

No, but he was looking lovingly at a Big Mac. Not sure what that means.

Untrustworthy and frankly not right in the head, because no one in their right mind would choose a Big Mac over a double quarterpounder with cheese, or even a regular quarter pounder. Get that Big Mac in the bin.

A true legend I hope he makes it to the final day.

It was the 80s. A different era. It was all about the Big Mac.

I was originally a Big Mac fan but probably in 00's switched to Qtr Pounder w/cheese, I have since about 3 years ago reverted back to the mighty Big Mac

…I won’t make a ‘which do you prefer’ thread as I don’t eat meat but it needs to be done for the love of all sacred burgers…Le Big Mac or Royale with cheese…?…

Speaking of, have you tried the McPlant? It looks decent but I haven't tried it yet

…I might try one also…I’m not a vegetarian, I just don’t eat meat so I’m not generally attracted to the ‘it’s like meat but not meat’ type of things…

I am disappointed that you are all far more interested in McPlants than my meeting of Geof capes at Peterborough train station.

I stopped eating McDonald's when they started charging ridiculous prices for below average food. They're charging £2.39 for 1 hash brown now, that's utterly insane!

They stopped selling the McPlant here and it was all I could stomach when I was pregnant :bawling:

We don't know why Daley might be disliking Danny yet.

I'm going to give him the benefit of the doubt until we at least hear Daley's point of view.

That's a shame to hear Jessica.

You should petition to the Portuguese Government to force your local McDonald's to sell the McPlant again.:fist:

TBF, I don't like Danny much because of his contrived arch queen bitch adopted persona, not because he does drag. It's just a cliche personality type that I've always found off putting.

Maybe Daley was just sick of him being over loud and 'look at me'. It would be entirely valid.

Exactly.

That's why I'm personally being careful before judging Daley completely on this, because he might have valid reasons to find Danny annoying.
