McDonald’s loses ‘Big Mac’ chicken trademark in EU ruling McDonald’s does not have the right to use the term ‘Big Mac’ for poultry products after it had not used it for them for five consecutive years. Europe's second top court said on Wednesday, in a partial win for Irish rival Supermac's in a long-running trademark dispute. All centered around Supermac's attempt in 2017 to revoke McDonald's use of the name Big Mac which the US company had registered in 1996 for meat and poultry products and services rendered at restaurants.
Telling your parents your gay.
I actually spent a ridiculous amount of time thinking 85.8 was great and my eyes just never went there. Gf saw it straight away.
Two Crocodiles were sitting at the side of the River. The smaller one turned to the bigger one and said, 'I can't understand how you can be so much bigger than me. We're the same age, we were the same size as kids - I just don't get it.'
'Well,' said the big Croc, 'what have you been eating?'
'Politicians, same as you,' replied the small Croc.
'Hmm. Well, where do you catch them?'
'On the other side of the river near the Parliament car park in Canberra.
'Same here. Hmm.....How do you catch them?' asked the big Croc.
'Well, I crawl up under one of their big Lexus, BMW or Mercedes cars and wait for one to unlock the car door. Then I jump out, grab them by the leg, shake the shit out of them and eat 'em!'
'Ah!' says the big Crocodile, 'I think I see your problem. You're not getting any real nourishment. See, by the time you finish shaking the shit out of a Politician, there's nothing much left but an arsehole with a briefcase.'
