Royalty to the Brits is the same as Celebrity is to the U.S. And you can't deny people are starving for any news to do with the Flames or their appearances around these parts. It's human nature.

Wrong thead Fotze...although judging by the Cowboy broad's fake mammies, I doubt people would be complaining about clausterphobia when in that losey goosey.

There are a lot of other places that I can pay a chick to pretend to be interested in me if I was so inclined.

TRUE DAT! haha.....
Tipping a waitress because she's hot is a bad idea all around. You waste your money, and encourage her that her looks will always outshine her service, which in my opinion, is counter-intuitive to a great service experience.

simply no . . . but I do like to go to a bar with hot waitresses. If I'm going to pay for a beer, and have someone bring it to me, given the choice between fat hairy old guy, and beautiful hot chick, I'm taking the chick thanks.
I'll tip the same, and if the beer is the same price, gimme hot over not.
Nothing wrong with a little eye candy and meaningless flirtation

Did this whole Prince Harry at Cowboys deal turn out to be bogus?
There was a bunch of news ads on the radio saying they were going to get to the bottom of it on the local news tonite?
The bar tender has also hidden her facebook site late this afternoon.

Realistically who cares, sure he's royalty, but that dosen't mean he isn't human.
He's doing what any kid coming up on a night of leave from training would do. Believe me, he probably gained points with some of the soldiers serving under him.
A real soldier can raise hell once in a while.

I'm sure Cowboys is loving this exposure. Puts their bar on the map. Good for them, I guess. I couldn't care less about the broad he hit on, though; she looks / seems pretty generic to me... but hey, what do I know... I'm not an overnight tabloid celebrity.

Ooops I guess Muta just posted under my handle...Guess we're using the same user name tonight!! Anyways....
He kept asking about my underwear.....I asked him to go on a dinner date.....I'd love to be a princess.
I honestly can't help but roll my eyes at this. It just stereotypes those girls even more, and helps perpetuate that clubs classless, redneck perception.
I do give props to Harry though, approaching one of those female bartenders over there is a privledge usually reserved for either celebrities or the local 250-pound beefcakes who drive fast cars trying to compensate for having a small johnson....May as well make the most of your celebrity status when you can.
Too bad the same didn't work for our girl Paris =)

You can bet that if I was a celebrity I would be the worlds biggest jerk. I would pay people in bars to fight for my amusement while drinking $1000/shot drinks from gold cups, forcing Cowboys to play Barry Manilow sets while acting like a total lounge lizard and hitting on the hot waitresses while lighting a $500 cigar the size of a baby's arm(ignoring the non smoking law) with food stamps destined for the starving. At the end of the night I would order the bar and surrounding neighbourhood to be burned to the ground since it would never know my greatness again. Then I would drive home in my fast car while admiring my endowment with a specially angled mirror in my car.

What Calgary girl can you think of would use the term "mobile phone" instead of "cell" or "cell phone?"
You've also had two Calgary papers, neither of which paid for the story, giving quotes from people there saying the Prince was fairly demure and quiet at Cowboys . . . . . instead of entering and yelling for the "Trooping Of The Beautiful Women," a complete contrast.
One thing is for sure, Prince Harry won't be dialling her up for a date any time soon if she's already sold her story before the first kiss.
Something like this is an eye-opening glance into the scrutiny these guys face and, in spite of his life of wealth and priviledge, you're probably fairly glad you're not him.
Lastly, while he's not going to Iraq it does appear he might be going to Afghanistan.

As a Journalism teacher can anyone verify that Harry was actually at Cowboys or do we go by the word of anyone associated with Penny Lane Entertainment as they are the only ones saying the Prince was their at 12:30 am the other night. Hmmmmm
