New U.K. Law Bans Barmaid Banter
Submitted by Roy on Wed, 2008-04-02 15:41
Britain appears to be competing with Canada for the top spot in feminist tyranny -- story here. Excerpt:
'New discrimination laws to make employers liable for customers behaviour may make banter with the barmaid a thing of the past.
Landlords who allow sexist jokes or even words like “darling” or “love” at the bar could be taken before tribunal and handed unlimited fines.
Operators will need to show they have tried to combat sexual harassment of workers by customers if they are to guard against the risk of compensation claims.
Pubs have been advised to put up warning notices telling punters that staff harassment will not be tolerated.
The new rules, pushed through by Women and Equalities Minister Harriet Harman, allow tribunals to award damages for injury to feelings if a case is proved. The regulations will come into force on Sunday.'
(More criminalization of normal heterosexual behaviors? Injury to feelings? If the barmaid tells the customer to bleep off, is that also an injury to HIS feelings?)

TIPS!
Anytime I go to a bar the female bartender or barmaids love to flirt. Why? So these drunken idiots leave a bigger tip.
I've had female bartenders ask me "what are you having honey?"
Not to mention skin tight pants with cleavage on full display.
Its gone much further than "look but don't touch"
Now its look, don't touch, and shut the hell up!
Looking?
You better not be looking. You're objectifying the poor girl. Raping her with your eyes!
Predators
Kinda funny but not ....
This doesn't just happen in bars; it also happens in restaurants.
My dad is 81 years old, widowed, and rich.
You cannot believe the action he gets when he goes out for coffee, lunch, or dinner.
The waitresses actually sit down next to him, slide a little closer, and ask --"Honey, what can I get for you?"
I have a shotgun locked and loaded for these bimbos if they ever make a serious move.
Not on my watch, skanks.
(And to his credit, he sees these women for what they are. Prostitutes seeking a trip to the church....)
CURIOSITY
Roy, I was curious, do you live in England?
I've always wondered how many posters aren't from the US. I know xtrnl is Canadian. That's about it.
Me? I'm a WOP from NY. Mostly Queens with a few years in Syracuse.
.......................................
FYI:
[WOP]...Without Papers
When the Italians migrated to the US during the early twenties they were called 'wops'. This term originated because the Italian migrants were taking jobs without legitimate documentation.
Why am I mentioning irrelevant information?
I just watched a documentary on Lucky Luciano.

"Whoa, the servants they're so helpful, dear
The cook she is a whore
Yes, the butler has a place for her
Behind the pantry door
The maid, she's French, she's got no sense
She's wild for Crazy Horse
And when she strips, the chauffeur flips
The footman's eyes get crossed"
[Roliing Stones]
The solution.
The problem can be solved very easily. Stop hiring women to work behind bars.
Civilisation: man's greatest, and most unappreciated, gift to women
Chi' Town Boy
Nope. I'm just a Chicago boy who's been around the world enough to know a couple things.
I did live for some time in Grenada, Nicaragua, and Cuba, back in my revolutionary days.
I know my way around an AK-47.
And if that idiot Reagan had just left me alone, I would still have a nice beachfront cottage in Petite Baycaye St. David's parish in southeast Grenada island.
I really hate it when the U.S. marines show up and terminate a pleasant reggae revolution.
Pizza
New York or Chicago style?
I've never been to Chicago so I'll go with a NY slice.
Cheezy Blonde Bar Joke
A blonde, a brunette and a redhead went into a bar and ordered their drinks from the bartender.
Brunette: "I'll have a B and C."
Bartender:"What is a B and C?".
Brunette: "Bourbon and Coke."
Redhead: "And, I'll have a G and T."
Bartender: "What's a G and T?"
Redhead: "Gin and tonic."
Blonde: "I'll have a 15."
Bartender: "What's a 15?"
Blonde: "7 and 7"
This Is Scary
It seems now that us men are out of line if we say anything these days. Women can get away with murder, but we can't get away with expressing ourselves. Truly ridiculous!
BTW, ur right Anthony. I'm from Edmonton, Canada.

Edmonton
Isn't Edmonton a part of Calgary Alberta? Bare with me, my Canadian geography is weak.
Edmonton and Calgary are
Edmonton and Calgary are both Canadian cities in the province of Alberta. Edmonton is the capital city and is about 54 degrees North, where Calgary is closer to the border, around 51 degrees North.

Calgary Stampede
The Hart wrestling family is from Calgary.
I'm a collector of old wrestling video's. I own some rare footage. Yes I realize its fake but these videos/DVDS have great value on e-bay.
I've sold videos with pristine footage of Killer Kowalski, Lou Thesz, Bruno Sammartino, and Stu Hart.
Ur Right
And also I'm sad to say that Chris Benoit is from Edmonton. He was one of my favourite wrestlers until he went psychotic and killed his family and himself. How tragic.
