Earn £48k As A Lap Dancer, Careers Advisers Say

15402476-608x342

The “aspirational career opportunities” were featured on the Business Wales website, where those interested in moving into the industry were told they could command an average of £232 an evening – an annual income of between £24,000 and £48,000.

Users interested in setting up escort agencies were advised “the escorts provide companionship to the client when attending events such as a formal dinner or the theatre”.

The factsheet went on to explain clients typically included single businessmen and women who hired an escort to “accompany” them to events and holidays.

It said: “Escort agencies usually have several escorts on their books. Agencies charge escorts an ‘introduction fee’ of between 25% and 55% of what the client pays to the escort.”

The guide pointed out it was an offence for an agency to “incite escorts to act as prostitutes” but went on to provide links to websites offering “transsexual post-operation and submissive escorts”.

Carwyn Jones, the First Minister of Wales, has now launched an investigation into the gaffe.

Plaid Cymru AM Jocelyn Davies said: “I’m certainly not a prude but it is hard to understand how the Welsh Government can believe it is acceptable to provide information to help women become strippers or run a lap dancing club, which is classed as a sex establishment.

“While jobs are difficult to find and money is tight, should the Welsh Government be effectively facilitating these activities by putting information on their website?

“Stripping is degrading for women and the Welsh Government should not the promoting the view that sexually exploitative work is an acceptable career.”

Her remarks were echoed by Lib Dem Eluned Parrott and Welsh Conservative leader Andrew RT Davies.

Miss Parrott said: “These are perfectly legitimate businesses. However, I was very surprised to learn that these factsheets are offered to young people via a link on the Welsh Government’s Big Ideas Wales website which is aimed specifically at youth entrepreneurs.

“The adult entertainment industry is just that – a field that is appropriate for adults, but not one that should be marketed as an aspirational career opportunity to potentially vulnerable young people.”

English language isn’t easy!

Posted on by

This took a lot of work to put together!

You think English is easy??

1) The bandage was wound around the wound.

2) The farm was used to produce produce.

3) The dump was so full that it had to refuse more refuse.

4) We must polish the Polish furniture.

5) He could lead if he would get the lead out.

6) The soldier decided to desert his dessert in the desert.

7) Since there is no time like the present, he thought it was time to present the present.

8) A bass was painted on the head of the bass drum.

9) When shot at, the dove dove into the bushes.

10) I did not object to the object.

11) The insurance was invalid for the invalid.

12) There was a row among the oarsmen about how to row.

13) They were too close to the door to close it.

14) The buck does funny things when the does are present.

15) A seamstress and a sewer fell down into a sewer line.

16) To help with planting, the farmer taught his sow to sow.

17) The wind was too strong to wind the sail.

18) Upon seeing the tear in the painting I shed a tear..

19) I had to subject the subject to a series of tests.

20) How can I intimate this to my most intimate friend?

Let’s face it – English is a crazy language. There is no egg in eggplant, nor ham in hamburger; neither apple nor pine in pineapple. English muffins weren’t invented in England or French fries in France . Sweetmeats are candies while sweetbreads, which aren’t sweet, are meat. We take English for granted. But if we explore its paradoxes, we find that quicksand can work slowly, boxing rings are square and a guinea pig is neither from Guinea nor is it a pig.

Chez Carlos Golf Society – Laguna Sat 22nd June 2013

Posted on by

16 players took part in the Society’s day at Laguna Golf Course on a gloriously warm day with a testing breeze.

The course was in fine condition.  The tees and fairways were immaculate, but the greens were really quite superb, being very fast and true.  Those who had played Laguna before will know that it is a very pleasant but difficult course and those that had not found out!

The scores with only three exceptions were in the 20’s, proving that Laguna will test even the best of players.

The winner this week was Peter Densham who informed us that he could not recall the last time he had won anything and so it was a complete surprise to him.  Peter scored a very creditable 33 points.

Second place went to Sinead Murray with 31 points – another excellent score in the circumstances.  Jack Sperey finished 3rd based on his back 9 holes, from Carlos Ferreira and Peter Bell.

Jack also won his bottle of wine for actually getting on the putting surface at the delightful 17th hole, where many players found it easier to land the ball in the lake!  The course is not called Laguna for no reason!

Once again Felipe provided snacks and refreshments at Chez Carlos Restaurant where some players and their partners also had an excellent meal afterwards.
