France's 'burger war' takes a surprising turn

Paul Heymont ·
Burger King, which long ago lost out to McDonald's as #1 fast-food burger chain in France, has a double-pronged plan for getting back in the ring: It's bought out the 400+ French outlets of the Belgian chain Quick, and it's entering the halal fast-food market to serve France's 5 million Muslim residents. French competition authorities last week approved the takeover by Burger King, which has only 30 restaurants in France, saying "this deal does not harm competition. They did require...

Re: Tombs of The Kings, Cyprus

Great photos Ian. Paphos is one of my favourite places I have been to ever. I was in Cyprus for 7 months in the early 80s and visited Paphos several times. The Tombs of the Kings was a great place to explore. Thanks for the memories.

Travel Rob ·
It is scary to me that museum workers are being prosecuted. I'd like to think no one would botch a job like that on purpose. And it's hard to believe the workers would not take that job seriously. Maybe they didn't have the expertise to do it?

DrFumblefinger ·
Without knowing any specifics, it's hard to say whether there is justification. Sometimes people just don't do a job perfectly and that's okay. Othertimes they show up drunk and stoned and do botch what they do. If the latter is the case, I'd say they have a case.
