On the football side of things, it said in the Examiner that there had been problems both at and after games this season. I know there was trouble after the Leicester match, but thats the only one i know of.

Mary Whitehouse is alive and well Berty - surprised at you, thought you had some decency about you in terms of moral standards. Like I say I'm no prude, but if it carries on like this they'll be putting out Jazz mags at Mcdonalds instead of the daily rags. Imagine the staff... "would you like fries with your w**k sir?" Had that story appeared in the examiner 25 yrs or so ago (not that it ever would have..), there'd have been bloody uproar. |

It has the look of a planted/paid for story. Unfortunately, much of the press is run that way nowadays. Best not read the paper if it offends you, eh? Most definitely never pay for one.

There's nothing seedy about modern burlesque nights - they're just a lot of cabaret-style fun. Good excuse for everyone to dress up for a good night out.
The acts are deliberately coy with humourous accidentally-losing-your-clothes narratives. Breasts always remain nipple-tassled (it's quite an art to swing then in opposite directions) and fancy retro knickers always stay on. Try it you'll might like it - even a mad fundamentalist would have little to object to.
Also the club in Honley wasn't dodgy at all - it was a fetish/BDSM club for consenting adults. You'd find a stricter ethical code there than in the average nightclub.
Also I've lived in a lot of towns and cities and the Examiner is head and shoulders above every other local rag I've read.

I don't really see the problem myself. Not my kind of thing but sounds as though it could be a bit of harmless fun.
Not entirely sure what the 'moral' issues are here - you probably see more naked flesh on your average soap/MTV video at this place!

FFS - I didn't say I was offended or anything else. I was reporting the hypocrisy of our media. Happy to take the moral high ground when it suits and similarly drop any so called ethics when it serves a purpose, commercial or otherwise. Anyway, having 2 young kids who have shortly to brave this pisspot of a society I'd just like to see the runaway train to out & out hedonism have it's brakes eased on a bit...
As for buying a paper, probably once a week if that - property paper on thurs, so wanted to see how great the housing market's getting on, otherwise no I don't pay for the rags.
Or maybe I'm just an old git? :-)

Maybe blimey, maybe...  Just kidding  Though I take your point about the hypocrisy of the media. You sound a bit tense though mate, you know what you need? I've heard there's this new burlesque night starting in town... ;D |
