Strip clubs to be banned?

I've heard this before. Not sure if it's a loonball conspiracy or if there's any truth to it.

She claimed her husband cut her hair during lockdown and it’s a scientific fact that Straight men are incapable of being hairdressers. It’s something to do with our wrists not being limp enough

What more scientific proof do you need

Even if it is true - who the f**k cares?

When he told me this story, I laughed and said "jeez, that sounds like something straight off Facebook" - to which he just said nothing (as that was clearly the source).

We are in the realms of Brendan Rogers being a transvestite here...................

People with an agenda?

Usually with "55" in their twitter handle

A weird interpretation of a move that was driven through by a Tory Councillor from Morningside on a council where the SNP only have 25% of the seats

Puritanism finds more and more fertile ground in Sturgeon’s Scotland.

[topcat(The most tip top)]

I was at Glasgow University at the same time as Nicola Sturgeon and I can’t remember her ever trying to get off with me

Which fits in with this whole “Secret Lesbian” theory

That makes a little bit more sense than the first attempt.

However there are plenty of examples of similar stories playing out south of the border as well

Reading this report, for example, feels like someone has just done a find/replace to switch Edinburgh for Bristol

If one were to say “Puritanism finds more and more fertile ground in Brexit Britain” instead then that would be just as valid in a very narrow sense but just as disingenuous in insinuating a causal link.

I think a casual link exists.

Casual or Causal

Maybe they should take a look at the 10 utterly massive American sweet shops on Princes St that have about 5 customers a day yet somehow keep opening more outlets.

I was in one in Glasgow the other day.

Unsurprisingly, I bought nothing, as it would almost have been cheaper to have a family holiday in Orlando than to actually pay the prices they charge

Both, to different degrees.

Best case scenario is the sherbet and cocaine have been mixed up when they have made their way over here.

In which case I direct you to my original reply

Wouldn't some of the strippers just go online, ie webcams or Onlyfans?

They'd be doing similar work and would be "objectified" in the same way. 

Absolutely nothing will be achieved in banning the clubs.

That'll be great. It adds a certain je ne sais quoi when there's pictures of the weans or dirty washing piled in the background.

Did you hear about the transvestite from Lancashire?

He had a Wigan address

[Benjamin_Nevis]

More than happy to say I've never visited a strip club. Do remember a casual debate at work years ago about the point of a lap dance when you weren't allowed to touch. One lad piped up, "Aye I know but sometimes they get that close to you, you can smell their fanny".

Did you work with@red23 ?

I'd highly recommend it. I make on average £13 a month

Give it time mate, someone else will join me on your subscriber list soon, and I personally find £13pcm to be very good value.

I care. Not from the point of view that there’s anything wrong with it at all, but from the point of view that our society clearly has more work to do if the First Minister of the country feels that being open about her sexuality would negatively impact on her career or public profile. It’s incredibly sad if that’s the case.

Have they banned the sunbeds?

I’m not going to post anything that could see Div machine gunned in his hot tub but this nimby banning is doing something police have tried to do for about 20 years but couldn’t as there was a legitimate paper trail of accounts despite their suspicions where money may actually end up.
