Why on earth would he take them to a place like that?

If a woman feeds her husband roasted owl, he will become completely subservient to her every wish. Words to this effect appear on hundreds of folk wisdom web sites although none has any information about the source.

@ Andy
One of my Indian work colleagues (recently arrived in Nottingam) took his wife and children to Hooters thinking it was an owl-themed eating establishment…

Nottingham is one of the few international locations of the infamous “Hooters” franchise. Synonymous for it’s burgers and fries served by bootalicious babes in vests and orange hotpants.

I first experienced “Hooters” in the gargantuan Edmonton Mall, that’s Edmonton, Alberta not the North London Alabanian enclave. I was hugely disappointed at the quality of totty who had more in the wrong places than our FATTY SAMMY. Personnally I am a Pret man now myself.

Can’t believe the errant apostrophe in “marmot’s” there – I’ll get my coat.

Couldn’t remember what a marmot looks like, so looked up this:

Cute!

Then couldn’t remember what marmot’s are, so went here:

I especially like the fact that they are groundhogs and that Alaska now calls “groundhog day” “marmot day” to distinguish it from that wonderful movie.

Very appropo to the media groundhog day described, KC. Is that post-modern or post-post-modern?

Samit Patel needs to read this article :- Washington, June 3 (ANI): A new American research on appetite stimulants for hibernating marmots could help understand obesity.

To be fair to him, there are quite a few top class eateries in and around Nottingham. I particularly recommend Maryland Chicken if you don’t mind the jibes about your weight and a decreased chance of national selection that inevitably follow.

Samit Fatel looked very large on TV this afternoon. Not Mark Cosgrove large but large nonetheless.

It’s because there is no real surprise other than perhaps Bell being recalled and Yardy favoured over Bopara and/or Shazad. And they were all pretty debatable anyway.
