stop being so diplomatic len- its him who had the strippers on.

What?? Who mentioned strippers? hehe

Come on, hold your hand up. Who else had taken part in Sunday afternoon refreshments at the Rovers return? or should I say, Who else had taken the dog for a long walk on a Sunday afternoon.

Must say though… It was a good crack at the time (a novelty) and I was fortunate to never get myself covered in oil or talc powder.

Hehehe, we used to have nights out there in the late 80's as student nurses......Male stripper night was always fun, there were female strippers too but us lasses used to ignore them. Unfortunately I never got to slather baby oil onto any of the male strippers but plenty of my mates did.

Was that the one that used to be Sett End?

Len · 04-07-2006, 20:35

How is it? That we blokes had to covertly sneak into these places on particular days? I mean that if the girl friend/ wife had found out you’d been then you where dead and not only that, touching any of the artists was a definite no no!! Other wise you were shown the door or the minder of the artist would have had a quite word with you.
Yet when women attend these functions (male strippers) it’s all hands on?
