The nature of Monkey was irrepressible
Monkey, the classic 70s TV show adaption of the Chinese tale of a priest and three companions searching for Buddhist scriptures, is getting remade. One of the stars was in the pub near location shooting in NSW, and locals started singing the old TV theme song at him.
McDonalds in trouble for waiting so long to declare their French fries have wheat and dairy products in them. I wonder if they’re also getting into trouble because the fries aren’t French? How come this is news anyway? I went out with an (almost)-Vegan girl years ago who avoided Maccas fries.

The way to keep feral animals at bay is to scatter the area with tiger poo. Not that you can find it at the local pet shop. (Thanks Amanda)

Re Monkey: Not being remade - HAS BEEN remade. It’s currrently showing here (i.e. Japan) Monday nights (tonight) at 9PM. My wife is watching it. Shingo Katori, one of the stars of uber-group SMAP (you can’t watch a day of Japanese TV without seeing at least one member of the the 5-member group on TV), is the lead. He’s a one-note actor. The other stars are all talentos of some description, although one (play Pigsy) is an actor. Check the website for the actors.

I believe that McDonald’s used to use beef fat to fry the fries, which is why the fruits-and-nuts crowd wouldn’t eat them.

The problem with maccas is that they’ve been saying “gluten free” for years which means that coeliacs (like my niece) have been eating them and probably damaging their intestines and dramatically increasing their risks of cancer! I think you’ll agree a pretty nasty problem.
