They've opened a Taco Bell in Newcastle.
I am teh excited.


I don't understand. :huh:

Its not something  that is traditionally seen in the UK, or indeed Europe. I've only ever encountered it in Korea before.

Yes, that's why they redubbed a line in Demolition Man, replacing Taco Bell by Pizza Hut since Taco Bell was unknown outside of North America.

Really?  :unsure:

*Goes to check their website*

Edit: Ok, apparently there are 52 Taco Bells in Spain, but they're heavily concentrated in Madrid and the Mediterranean coast, with a couple of exceptions.

And it's the only one in the whole north of Spain, I guess we're not their target audience.

Does the air wing of the US Marine Corp own any boats?

Almost certainly.

So that would be the navy of the air force of the army of the US navy? :unsure:

Watching the news about trade tension between the US and China, I got completely distracted from what the IMF's chief economist,Gita Gopinath was saying because she's a rather attractive person.  :blush:
