Hooters in Newcastle

I'm quite nervous posting here as you wonderful women seem to be a lot more articulate than I am. So as the title suggests Hooters are trying to open a branch in Newcastle, this disappoints me so much. However I don't feel able to concisely say why apart from I feel it is blatant sexism and belittles women to nothing more than breast and a pretty face. Is there anything that can be done do you reckon? www.chroniclelive.co.uk/news/north-east-news/newcastle-could-set-hooters-bar-8178710

I am a jealous minger, yes.

You must be psychic! Have you thought about going on tour with Derek Acorah? He's got lovely hair.

Why does it matter? How is it sexiest? For men to appreciate the female form? You just sound like jealous mingers
Yes im a woman saying this

I used to work in Hooters in Miami in the late 80's while at university. I had a lovely figure back then and as I was an athlete used to wearing very skimpy outfits, I thought I might as well get the massive tips I knew others were getting. I can vouch for their statement that past staff have gone onto be mothers, pillars of their community etc etc. BUT... I'm a feminist now, I guess I didn't give the issue much thought back then. The concept makes me uncomfortable and I'd hate for my dd to do it but I had some great times and the money was fabulous, I can't deny.

Not many people know that !

They say laughter is the best medicine.

(It isn't, it's Tramadol.)

You know, I'd almost forgotten what your eyes looked like. They're still the same. Pissholes in the snow.

LineRunner, AF - you're only supposed to blow the bloody doors off!

I've heard that if you let them pee in the corners they keep others of their kind away. It's worth a try.

AnyFucker · 29/11/2014 15:22

Yeah, mediocrity sucks Smile

LineRunner · 29/11/2014 15:18

Or this one could be an archetype?

ApocalypseThen · 29/11/2014 15:11

I think, if we're going to consider keeping this one, we need some small spark of originality. I think we need one new idea. Just one, obviously there's no point in looking for anything special.

LineRunner · 29/11/2014 14:16

Or live in a field.

AnyFucker · 29/11/2014 14:14

I think we might have to take a wall out

LineRunner · 29/11/2014 14:10

I think we're going to need a bigger flap.

AnyFucker · 29/11/2014 14:09

Would the flap be able to accomodate the massive chips on the shoulders

LineRunner · 29/11/2014 14:07

I could put a big flap in the door.

chockbic · 29/11/2014 14:06

Oh massive tips...

rubs eyes

AnyFucker · 29/11/2014 14:04

is he house trained ?

LineRunner · 29/11/2014 14:03

Please please please can we keep him??!

chockbic · 29/11/2014 14:00

They really aren't a family friendly chain.

What next...take your toddler to Spearmint Rhino?

Most depressing.

PuffinsAreFictitious · 29/11/2014 13:59

Dull!

Anyway, I vote we keep this one, he's so ridiculous it's actually quite funny. He types from the script well as well.

AnyFucker · 29/11/2014 13:53

Apparently so

PuffinsAreFictitious · 29/11/2014 13:52

Lovely! Handmaidens, a troll and a racist. Just what we need on FWR.

Do we still have to play nicely with the GFs?
