Beast of Burden
why not, really...
i want to go there.
occasionallly the idea of eating ribs and chugging vast amounts of weak, tasteless beer that's more or less impossible to get convincingly drunk on to a soundtrack of animal by def leppard, round and round by ratt and cherry pie by warrant seems like the pinnacle of western civilisation.

Er...it was something about orange reminding me of Jobcentres, EasyJet and Thai monks, none of which do it for me...

Mind you, it's funny how the Jobcentres went from bright orange to blue and yellow. A colour expert could probably read all sort of things into that. Did you know that blue's the colour of authority? It's why the cops wear it, it looks like black but it's blue. If you send someone a letter on blue paper, you're more likely to get your way than if you send it on white. Yellow's the colour of jaundice and cowardice. EasyJet obviously modelled its design on the old fashioned Jobcentres, so perhaps orange has become synonymous with financial hardship (also, see Happy Shopper)? Which makes me wonder why Hooters has adopted it for its employees.

But regardless of this, I'm intrigued - I might accompany you along on a visit. This seems the kind of thing that led to the decline of the Roman Empire.

There is something a little quesy with the following sentence from the Hooters article -

'The area has become a mecca for restaurants, including Bella Pasta, Nando's and La Tasca tapas bar in the old Yates's Wine Lodge.'

I was going to write a long and impassioned screed on Southend but this cold I've picked seems to have screwed with my syntax generating capabilities.

Can't see how Hooters is going to make Southend's nightlife any worse tbh.

And the garlic and herb sauce is hotter than both of them!

I could attend this, since I don't live too far away and I don't currently have any plans for Thursday. But I would face the risk of being the youngest and most out-of-place person present. Joy.

Ha ha I think everyone will be a bit out of place, only a few of us know each other really well... come along, it'll be a laugh!

Southend has a pub on the seafront that does lunchtime pole-dancing.

I think you'll find that there's more than one.


Great breakfasts at the arches though and we have got the finest ice cream parlour in Rossi's - still got the pictures of food from the fifties on the wall and service culture to match.

I am young also. We can establish a dissensus kids corner and talk about race issues in SpongeBob.

I can PM people my mobile number if they like?

Then you can ring it or text something obscure and watch with hilarity as I try to scan the room to find you.

But Woofahs will probably be in evidence. :)

I'll be with my trusty green Suburban Base record bag and might turn up early to play the quiz machine (the pub is a wi-fi hotspot so possibly has itbox).

Am looking forward to meeting STN.
