What's next about that is if they had activity bothered to treat the case seriously and bumbled their paperwork so hard the judge ruled against them.

And to Wendy's in Netherlands, which is why there's no Wendy's in the EU.
Not just Ireland, southern Ireland is EU so they lost it in the whole of Europe
The BK near me was offering King Macs for a while just to take the piss

Most yanks don't know the difference, just clarifying for them here father dougal

Brilliant film. Absolutely chilling though.
100% horror, just… in a different kind of way.
Facebook and the Zuck commonly taking an L
Thanks for sharing, I hope they stand their ground and will definitely will keep an eye on this one. LOL
The name and the logo remind me of the parasitic worm.
