chippy, if you think OLA is HALF DRESSED I worry about you. She's quarter dressed at most
unless of course you're from Newcastle where a tee-shirt is acceptable in the middle of winter on a night out. :whistle:
But yes I think there's more than a touch of hypocrisy there. let's be honest, it's not a factual read

1986: Printers and police clash in Wapping
Eight police officers have been injured and 58 people arrested in the worst outbreak of violence yet outside the News International printing plant in Wapping, east London.
One officer, a 27-year-old sergeant, was taken to hospital with head injuries.
Police estimated 5,000 demonstrators gathered near the printing works for a mass demonstration.
Similar mass protests have taken place regularly outside the Wapping plant ever since the start of a strike three weeks ago over new working conditions and the move from Fleet Street to cheaper premises in East London.
Summary dismissal
News International publishes some of Britain's best known newspapers - the Times, the Sunday Times, the Sun, and the News of the World.
Its owner, Australian press baron Rupert Murdoch, has been heavily criticised for his handling of the dispute.
He summarily dismissed the thousands of staff members who downed tools on 24 January, and brought in members of the maverick electricians union, the EETPU, to keep the printers running.
Ever since, the strike has become an increasingly violent and bitter battle between the printers, the police and Mr Murdoch
Riot shields
For the first time since picketing began, police used riot shields during today's fighting, and mounted police were brought in to break up sections of the crowd.
Wyn Jones, Deputy Assistant Commissioner of the Metropolitan Police, said, "We saw the classic example of honest well-intentioned union members supporting their cause being joined by diverse elements whose only interest was in causing as much trouble as possible.
"They were intent on disrupting business and assaulting officers."
Police barricades have been put up at entrances to the Wapping site, and traffic has been stopped from getting through apart from vans carrying copies of newspapers.
'Peaceful picketing' appeal
Michael Hicks, an official for the main union involved in the strike, Sogat '82, said today's turnout had been "magnificent", but added, "Unfortunately we had a handful of people who joined this march who did not carry out the instructions of the print workers' stewards."
The general secretary of Sogat '82, Brenda Dean, also condemned the violence.
She said, "If fringe people were responsible for violence, that is not helping our case. We would appeal to everyone to have peaceful picketing and demonstrating at Wapping."
