Dining at McDonald's of Wapping was a pleasure. I ordered two large Coca Colas with extra sugar, four Big Macs, three sharing boxes of chicken nuggets, five portions of large fries with extra salt and extra oil, and two large servings of barbecue sauce, which went down extraordinarily well when poured into, and mixed with, my Coca Cola. While the meal was satisfactory and the service excellent, by far the highlight of my experience was the respectful and ever-erudite Nayeed, an old Etonian with a classical education. We conversed over light topics like the impact of the death of Tiberius on Roman class consciousness, the legacy of the arts and crafts movement of the 19th and early 20th century, and ways to combat the youth's declining interest in Latin and Ancient Greek. Goodbye Nayeed. Your food may evacuate my rectum in a few hours, but I will never forget you. read more
