Hooters well past its breast-before date

THE most surprising thing about the demise of cringey diner Hooters is that it was still going after all these years.
The global norks ’n’ forks eaterie has gone, ahem, bust, after customers tired of its dated pitch of greasy stodge served by top-heavy waitresses.
I can see why. I went to the one in Atlanta many years back out of curiosity. Just how tacky could it be, I wondered?
Well, the answer was very. The ageing and almost exclusively male clientele made me wonder if there was some sort of special OAP deal on that night (there wasn’t).
But the most depressing thing about it was the food.
Deep-fried globules of unrecognisable “meat” soaked in sticky sauce was pretty much the order of the day.
A beige banquet no amount of jiggling jugs could improve.
GLOVES OFF ON RADIO 4
RADIO 4’s Today programme is hardly Towie but the bitchiness levels are on a par, we’re now told.
Former Woman’s Hour presenter Emma Barnett is said to find her co-presenter Nick Robinson “overbearing” and allegedly complained about him not long after joining the show last year.
I’m sure she is right but it takes one to know one.
I listen to the show every day and often find Barnett’s interviewing style overbearing, especially when chatting to Tories or anyone else she doesn’t like.
She frequently comes across as haughty and patronising.
What is it about Today that seems to attract so many conceited sods?
They should give more work to Jonny Dymond, a genial occasional host and the only one I wouldn’t mind having a pint with.
Good luck, pet
InstgaramKatie Price is facing fresh fury from animal rights campaigners after investing in a racing greyhound called Barbie Bullet[/caption]
OH God, put the vet on standby, Katie Price has got another dog.
Must be some space left in her “pet cemetery”, where eight of her former animal friends now lie.
PETA’s Enemy Number One has plumped for a greyhound this time, poor mutt.
And looking at the picture of careless Katie and her racer confirmed the old saying that dogs really do look like their owners.
Although if the worryingly emaciated Price gets any skinnier, she’ll look more like the pup’s lead.
Deja chew
l FOUND myself on the end of a bar of “viral sensation” Dubai chocolate this week.
These £10-a-pop treats are the latest fad for those weak souls susceptible to food fads (of which I am one!).
A few bites in, I felt a sense of, er, deja chew.
Then it hit me – Dubai chocolate tastes exactly like a Tunnock’s caramel wafer.
Which may seem a lot less glamorous but at around 30p a bar is certainly the more pocket-friendly option.
