Off On One Again

A blog of no interest to anyone apart from me. Highly egotistical. Somewhat ironic that once upon a time people kept diaries secret. Now we publish to the world, even if no-one is listening (or reading). This may include stuff on Greece, history, rugby, cricket, Health and Safety, Wales, genealogy and West Hendred. It will almost certainly include complete rants about things I find amusing, interesting or annoying. There is no guarantee that anyone will share my views!

About Me

37, forgetful, cynical, sarcastic, would like to have been a struggling artist but ended up with a PhD in chemistry. Got bored with being in the lab, fell into Health and Safety and now can't get out of science without taking a pay cut. Rather enjoying the diversion into Environmental compliance. Unfit and terminally depressed. Lovely wife Sam - just about all that keeps me together. Son Rafferty GFX Hall born 24 Oct 2005 is growing up quickly. Greyhound (Buddy), cats (PJ and Boots), tortoises (Tinkerbell and Compost). Learning Greek at Evening Classes. Play Cricket badly for Didcot CC, haven't played rugby for years and am a little annoyed about that. According to my medical, am clincially obese. Earn far too little. Completed H&S and Environmental Diplomas

McDonalds vs Burger King

Am I shallow? I avoid McDonald's for two reasons:
Firstly I don't believe they are morally or ethically sound, they exploit third world economies and are environmentally unsound, I dislike their advertising and the way they associate themsleves with children's events, toys, films and sports, presenting themselves as some sort of healthy option.
Secondly, the food tastes like crap.

However, I (occasionally) eat at Burger King because I like their burgers and King Fries. Are they so different to McDonald's in the rest of the things i have just mentioned. Should I be boycotting Burger King as well?

Oh, the moral dilemma.
