    @sparky

    Irish-American? Did he change citizenship?

    Edit: It appears not although he did have homes in the US.

    Sharkey Ward, CO 801 Sqn during the Falklands, 3 kills (like my grandad) and an opinionated gobshite - but lead his men well and knew how to have fun.

    My Grandma loved him. Only thing I really know about the bloke was the Fred Dagg description of something unusual happening: "it stood out like a moment of fun at a Frank Ifield concert"...

    Veering off topic perhaps but I wonder what old mate Don thinks ?

    70-year-old Don Gorske extends record after eating 34,000th Big Mac

    70-year-old Don Gorske extends record after eating 34,000th Big Mac

    Don Gorske eats Big Mac burgers every single day and holds the record for the most Big Mac burgers eaten in a lifetime.

    Yeah I’m not sure a Maccas burger is really THAT bad, it’s the fries and sugary drinks that don’t help.

    When I used to travel more for work I’d occasionally binge a truckload of Ronald’s finest. Like anything in life it’s moderation. I remember the Supersize movie and thinking even a month of solid Maccas wouldn’t mess someone up that badly. 25 pounds in a single month is a heap of weight.
