Sorry, my last couple of posts weren't very precise – a bit late at night, and all that. I was just saying, don't apply to McDonald's if you aren't prepared to flip burgers.

You're probably right, but what did she expect? Having got the job, she might have been expected to attract male customers but what did she think she was applying for, a job in a funeral parlour? Who's supposed to be wearing shrouds, the staff or the customers?

If this woman had gone for a job at a slaughter house, she'd no doubt have asked whether it was "halal". Since she seems to have thought that she was applying for a job at a knocking shop, why didn't she ask whether she would be expected to shag the customers? Hadn't she got eyes to see what the the resident waitresses were up to? Or not, of course, not having an offer of thousands more for being offended than they could have got for their sexual favours.

Yes but on the other hand –

'Luca Scanu, the bar manager, denied the dress was intended to increase sales and tips from male customers by being “sexually inviting”.'

Come on…that dress is not intended to be sexually inviting?

I am offended that you would publicly accuse us innocent Muslims of "extortion"! This is strictly forbidden by the Holy Profit (Bless His Cotton Socks) in "Noddy Goes to the Tribunal" (Ch. 5: Para. 3: Lines 24/25). I am suing you for £20 Million for my hurt feelings, and if I don`t get the money we can see to it that your life becomes very unpleasant indeed, Sunshine!!

Atishoo! Atishoo! We all fall down!

Mustafa Nerve.

If the photograph was taken before the trial then it seems likely she has committed perjury. It would be good to get a few of these serially-offended religious types done for that.
