Re: Hyndburn's Honeys.
If anyone wants to see any more of my flesh they should come and see Habeas Corpus at Ossy Civic Theatre, 23rd - 26th April. I've had a costume fitting tonight and it fits where it touches.

Re: Hyndburn's Honeys.
Hmmm i'm not sure why people have a problem with it. No offense to anyone here...
if you don't like it don't read it or look at it and stop complaining?
I know two of the girls in that competitions and they're both great people, have great personalities and I wish them both luck in winning.
I'm not trying to start a fight or anything just giving my opinion. If they want to take pictures of themselves that way and send them to a newspaper thats upto them, no one else

I don't think anyone has said anything derogatory about the women in this thread, just the fact that they are in the paper, which as you correctly said is a 'news'paper.

If the Observer only had decent news in it the entire publication would struggle to fill a side of A4!
People shouldn't take the local rag too seriously. The editors don't

Re: Hyndburn's Honeys.
Surely they have to call a halt to it some day? I completely ignore the page, it could be full of adverts for cricket bats for all I notice it now.

Re: Hyndburn's Honeys.
I don't buy the observer, but I have a look at it when I am in the chippy or whatever just to see if I know any of the girls, as most are around me age. I recognise a few but the competition clearly only attracts a particular type of girl to it, and I guess that is why it looks so tacky.

Re: Hyndburn's Honeys.
Lets just hope there are none of the "particular types of girls" members on here, think they might find that remark offensive
