I think paying AED75 or 15 freeking quid for a burger is more than just taking the piss.

You and DXBtoDOH should get together and compare notes.

Default Re: I finally took the plunge...

It was 65 aed and yeah I seriously thought wtf when I first saw the price a while back... but I was in Marina mall and looking at the choices there a bowl of stir fried slop in the food hall was also 65 aed now that is proper wtf.!!? So anyway thought dammit and too the plunge... it was really good the regular burger is like a qtr ponder with two patties make from good quality mince, and if you're British you'll love the fries.. they're fried frikken spud chips I shit you not.!! and not only are there loads of them but they also have bottles of malt vinegar to liberally douse them in.. it's like chip shop chips.. anyway, on the rare occasions that I do feel like necking a burger I certainly be heading back to five guys.. oh and next time I'm gonna try a shake, my friend tells me they're pretty damn good too.

We already have. The conclusion is that regardless of the size, it's not as small as yours.

FYI I like Shake Shack better.

Byron in UK is better than either Shake Shack or Five Guys in the UAE. You can even have a pint with your meal. And it is slightly cheaper

Well, given we both had giant ones to start with, it really was splitting hairs.

Tell me, Iggles, how does it feel to have a brain that's smaller than your penis? Life for you must be like a pigeon. Always stumbling and flying blindly into windows.

Of course my Brain is smaller than my penis.

The average brain length is 15cm, my penis is 7 inch.

FYI

Average length: L=13 cm
Average diameter: D=4 cm
Radius: R=D/2=2cm
Volume of a cylinder: V=pi*R2 *L=160 cm3 (rounded to 2 significant figures)
Density: human body tissue is mostly water, assume density=1 g/cm3
Therefore, the mass of the average penis is 160 grams.

The average brain weighs at 1300-1400 grams.

Wow, I'm impressed, Iggles. A brain sub 200 grams explains a lot about you

Five Guys sounds good, especially those proper chips!

As with most things here, price is insane. Have to live with that...

I hope it comes to Doha soon
