I think this is a fabulous idea. The Chinese have a new bar which specialises in offering stressed customers a place to vent, to break glasses and to assult the barstaff after a hard day!
“The bar employs 20 well-built men in their 20s and 30s who have agreed to be hit. Customers can specify how they want the men to appear – they can even be dressed up as women”
I always fantasise about a scream room at work, that and a very heavy boxing bag where you could let loose. Interestingly in China “most customers are women, particularly those working in the service and entertainment companies, such as karaoke bars or massage parlors.”
And unrelated, a tip: never flush bad tofu down your toilet. I have always used the loo as a kinda waste disposal unit for food left out too long. Well, y’know soups and coffee grounds mostly. Seemed to me that’s a better place than dumping it dripping evilly in your garbage bag. This time I pushed it too far, and for 48 hours I have been standing nervously over the loo, pouring down sink unblocker, bleach and Coca-Cola down there (well, it destroys almost anything, doesn’t it?). Finally this morning, and with a reassuring watery burp, the block cleared and I no longer fear having to call a potentially judgemental and elderly (in my mind plumbers are always greying, short and cockney) plumber to explain my error.
Oh and a shout out to the lovely Hackensaw Boys whose Pop/Old Time stylings popped out of my TV as incidental music in an episode of My Name Is Earl. Go guys! And come back to Amsterdam soon!
