UK bans free drinks for women SMH
"Free drinks for women will be banned and free tastings of wine and beer will be limited as part of the British government's latest efforts to curb public drinking...
...According to the paper, the proposals are aimed at transforming social attitudes. That would mean ending drinking games organised by bars and a ban on drinks with suggestive names, like the cocktail Sex on the Beach."
Damn Shepard's!
i'll have to find a new icebreaker
One day, when I am a crazy billionaire (hey I am half way there!) I am going to start a right to vice campaign.
Seriously, if you have the right to work in a coal mine so that I can watch "House" in an air conditioned room while surfing the web, then you have the right to drink, smoke and what the hell have sex with consenting strangers.
There are a lot of big scary things in the world we need governments to protect us from, $2 beers are not one of them.
On the upside, at least they are trying to ban ladies night to cut down drinking, and not under some bizarre equal rights delusion.
Dude, the women aren't as bad as the men who get pissed out of their skulls every night.
It's the men who should be banned from having free drinks.
i dont know. the women here can be worse
at least with roiders (i think the yank term is Geardo) theres a rule of thumb: Roiders are like the sun; big, orange, and you never stare directly at them.
amd my other term i use on a night out: Lambrini (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lambrini) Girls just wanna FIGHT!"
WTF? What does it matter what the drink is named?
"Oh sorry love, can't have a sex on the beach anymore. How about this bucket of straight gin instead. That's not named anything raunchy."
People are fucking stupid.
I love when guys buy me drinks thinking I'm gonna end up in bed with them! Chumps!

Also, sexist. Don't brits have a gender equality clause in a constitution somewhere?

nah, I think women should pay for thier booze just like everyone else.
I want some women to pay for my drinks for a change.
wanting isn't good enough, you gotta need it, then it'll happenQuote:

You need to dress more revealing. They want incentive. ;DQuote:

its in their view of "if people dont view it, they wont want an east European sex slave". its their way of paying lip service to the papers without anything being done.Quote:

MP's are all about spin and brown nosing, rarely listen and dont make thier own opinions up. thank heavens we have the house of lords to detemper that bullshit as they no longer have to worry about constituents agreeing for them to continue on 130,000 per annum and an expense account which some use to the tune of 150,000. and thay all think we earn 20,000 (14,500, and i had to build that up from 10,000)
