FAST food fan Natalie Jackson was hit with a ?150 fine at KFC ? for staying too long gorging on a monster-sized ?family bucket?.

The trainee nurse and a pal plumped for FOURTEEN chicken pieces, SIX bags of fries and large CO:|S :| after driving to their local branch.

They spent an hour and a half scoffing the 5,456-calorie feast. Days later regular customer Natalie got the fine in the post for breaking the restaurant car park?s 75-minute limit.

The 24-year-old fumed yesterday: ?It?s disgusting. I spend a lot of money in there. Now I?m never going back.?

Natalie ? who eats at KFC three times a week ? complained to restaurant bosses that she was unaware of signs warning of the time limit in Huddersfield, West Yorks.

The mega bucket, which busts the Health Department?s recommended 1,940-a-day calorie count for women, cost her ?13.16p.

Natalie vowed there was fat chance of her paying the ?150 ? insisting: ?It didn?t feel like I was in there all that long. We were hungry.?

Last night KFC said restaurant parking was contracted to private firm Civil Enforcement Ltd ? but promised to review Natalie?s case.

A spokesman said: ?A parking restriction was introduced to prevent non-KFC customers using the car park.

?The 75-minute time limit is designed to accommodate our customers who generally eat for about 30 minutes.?

Wow....

My best mate and I generally head into our local KFC and spend a good two hours in there. Never got a parking fine or anything. (we dont eat that much and we're not fat...skinny actually)

But seriously. A fraking mega bucket!!! Regardless, by the looks of her, she'll be back, she always comes back...... TO ANOTHER KFC

I'm willing to bet there was no friend, she ate all that chicken herself and was too ashamed to admit it. Thats why it took so long to eat it. Two people could finish a bucket like that in under an hour.

On the friend I call "Pics or it never happened"

    • How do you future-proof a home or small office network?

      By Circaflex · Posted

      Personally, I’ve found that it’s usually worth investing in the infrastructure you don’t want to replace later, especially cabling. Running Cat6A (or better, depending on your needs) during an upgrade is relatively inexpensive compared to having to re-cable a few years down the road. For switches I try to balance current specs with realistic growth. If my budget allows it Ill choose switches with higher uplink speeds which leaves room for expanding later on, but I don’t necessarily overspend on access ports if the endpoints won’t benefit from them anytime soon. One lesson I’ve learned is that planning for scalability pays off. It’s much easier to add devices, VLANs, or higher-bandwidth workloads when your network infrastructure already supports it than to replace hardware later.  What is your budget like?

      I hate the term, "future-proof." We saw it back in the 90's / 2000's, if not before. You cannot future-proof anything, since there is no definition of how far into the future you plan on prepping for. Best idea is to tell us what you currently have and what its use is at the moment, and we can then offer ideas about some areas that might need an upgrade and other areas that can be left alone.
    • Celebrating Windows XP's 25th anniversary this year

      By Nick H. · Posted

      I can agree that it is being used in a small capacity. I worked for a company where their engineers still used XP, and when asked why it was because their sensor software wasn't compatible with newer operating systems and the software was discontinued so they couldn't upgrade the software. Given that the sensors were still in use by companies, they had to continue using XP to support the sensor, otherwise the price to the company would have gone into the millions or billions. Our response was simple: Ok, you can keep the XP machine. But we're removing it from the network. "But then it can't access the Internet or folder shares!" Yup, kinda the point. If someone wants to continue using an unsecure OS they can do, I have no problem with that. But it should be isolated. Simple. I had a fight with a guy in the engineering department for weeks before he finally relented. But we digress.   What do I plan on doing to commemorate the anniversary? Nothing. I have fond memories of the OS, but at the end of the day it's just an OS. If I had some time I might see if I could install it on my Raspberry Pi for a laugh. But my reflex memory with today's OS ideas would probably get me frustrated and I'd uninstall it after 5 mins.
