.....why would they be praised?

more like the red hand gang.

we are all very scared- scared of offending, scared of ourselves, scared of each other.

happy christmas to you one and all.

we are scared of being scared

i am - 20 years or so and a veteran of many a war

knew you'd bite!!!!

:hihi:

try arrogance instead - think that might apply to you tony.

.....watch the ban.....

oh:| crikey

The reality of this is - it will eventually be banned, there is no doubt about that.

How anyone can put the fine dining experience in a niche, persecuted activity is beyond me!

I suppose you will be harking on about the rights of cravat wearing pillocks to parade around town next!

I do say that I love you all - would you like to love me Feargal?

Humans are omnivores.

 

Anything else is fussy.

Maybe we could say the same about sexuality?

But we would be up in arms suggesting that, wouldn't we meak?

Says he who can't spell a five letter word

 

PS - Sheffield Geography isn't on the national curriculum

NO!

Stix suits you better - much better in fact!

STIX STIX STIX STIX!!!

:thumbsup: :thumbsup:

Are you saying that there is no longer any fox hunting, animal testing, battery farming, and meat eating?

 

Errrr....

foxhunts have been banned mate, or at least thats the idea...and the rest, yeh they exist, but animal testing is a lot more controlled, free range is on the up and up and meat eating will always exist, but there is now a credible alternative commercially.

dont be so naive to think all veggies think the above will never exist, but there is a change in attitudes and protests do that.

aaaah! naive carnivores!

The clue is in the title stix. :hihi: You should actually read the thread titles. Clearly uneducated....

By the way, it is one of the worst pubs in the universe.

Well if the world has a right to protest about anything they want then here I go. I protest against the protestors at the Blue Room. I am staff at the blue room and it's bloody hard work to do everything we have to do in a night (won't bore you with the details) and then run outside to make sure some smelly got-nothing-better-to-do hippies aren't causing a raucus or abusing our customers. who! by the way pay an average of £200 a table to have a fantastic dining experience and most of whom don't even eat chuffing foie gras. what they are doing is just annoying. and so pointless they don't even realise it. the silly idiots wrote a letter to the restaurants owner and head chef "requesting" it is taken off the menu or they will continue to be smelly and stand outside with a sign disturbing innocent people for no reason. does my nut in to be honest. and ok so we can't generalise that all protesters, demonstrators, whatever, are smelly. but these ones are. they went into the blue room one day last week to speak to the owner and i came on shift only a few mins after. the smell that was left could only be described as an after-a-curry toilet visit covered up with bad air freshener (the kind that only makes it worse). so, is it fair for me and mycollegues to have the opinions we do over the protest? probably not P.C. but neither is them coming into the restaurant and saying we all support animal cruelty and may as well be murderers because we are paid to provide a customer service. and a bloody good one at that. at least we work. and in conclusion might I say that the whole debate and protest is pointless, because the blue room won't stop serving foie gras, the customers won't stop coming in, and the phonecalls to the police we make to move the protestors won't end and it's winter now so maybe they should get a life and not stand in the rain for hours being idjits, BECAUSE THEY AREN'T GOING TO GET ANYWHERE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! we have a job to do. so just bugger off!!!

the thing you don't realise vicky is that generally protests like these do work - you only have to look at the foxhunting issue, animal testing, free range hens, the rise in veggies, the fact that supermarkets stock more cruelty free products etc to realise that this is how things get changed.

i am glad they are annoying you, as it means it is obviously working and long may they protest!!!!! :thumbsup: :thumbsu

Thank you all!

Some good suggestions!

Thanks ever so much and i'll give it some serious consideration.

By the way, i love the Kashmir myself - dont know why i didnt think of it:confused:

Ta

Pasty, Mrs Pasty and the wee Pasties.

at first glance, i thought this said:

"How do i dispose of a corpse (lawfully)..."

anyone got any good suggestions for curry/chinese/pizza in sheff thats good with kids and serves between 5 - 8pm

many thanks

the only difference is, there is no difference when you say it.....

nice that you've made joie feel so welcome

joie - get used to strix - that is one seriously patronising lady.

if she were any smugger she would explode in a self righteous ball of smugness!

:hihi: :hihi:

what is "spice?"

sounds a bit saucy to me?

I hate the little toerags and their identikit uniforms - grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr:rant:

Your obviously funneling your attention to the spelling and not policing your own exclamation marks.

Funneling!!!!!!!!! Funnelling????$%^&

What about the Boots&£$&$%&()?/?/?

:help: :help: :help:

Why do people always jump in with both feet, criticizing others when they know nothing about them? I know about the production method and i don't agree with it either or veal for that matter. However, I've realised that criticising people and trying to force them to adopt your own ideas, is often counterproductive.

 

Please don't judge me in this way, I don't judge you. You are perfectly at liberty to come and picket me as I go in after all. I don't eat meat myself but I feel perfectly at ease with people who do. As I said before I doubt very much that anyone will be eating either foie gras or veal at our meet, as, unlike yourself, they do take the time to consider other people's feelings and know that a number of us are non meat eaters.

Fine

Just enjoy the reality that you are encouraging them to stock it.

Bon Appetit!

Have you been drinking?

 

What the hell have lesbians got to do with protesting about duck livers? And where was the 'joke' about others suffering?

 

 

 

 

 

 

Indeed.

Scroll up and you will see - plain obvious.

This is a little bit more than respecting your friends right to eat meat, it is about an extremely cruel and simply unneccessary practice in delivering foie gras to the table of those who choose to eat it.

I think just because you dont choose to eat it, does not mean you are absolved of any guilt, as by giving the blue moon your money in any way at all is condoning the practice by association.

I think it is extremely patronising to think that people who voice their concerns about others eating at this place is about taking choice away from people, as i think a life is a little bit more important than that.

I am realistic enough to know that people will not stop eating meat, but surely they can choose the more humane ways to do it?

And Meaks - you should know better than making a joke about others suffering - how would you like it if we all had a laugh at gay and lesbians??

Double standard methinks....

Thank you.
