A cocktail bar owner has installed a Faraday cage in his walls to prevent mobile phone signals entering the building.

Steve Tyler of the Gin Tub, in Hove, East Sussex, is hoping customers will be encouraged to talk to each other rather than looking at their screens.

He has installed metal mesh in the walls and ceiling of the bar which absorbs and redistributes the electromagnetic signals from phones and wireless devices to prevents them entering the interior of the building.

Why you hating on millennials, Bro?

    Oh please, Pink Floyd lyrics?
    Why that's nothing compared to the artistic styling Nicki Minaj:

    If you cute then the crew can roll
    If you sexy eat my coo-coo raw
    Put ya cape on, you a super hoe
    2012, I'm at the superbowl

    Stupid hoes is my enemy
    Stupid hoes is so whack
    Stupid hoe shoulda befriended me
    Then she coulda probably came back

    Stupid hoes is my enemy
    Stupid hoes is so whack
    Stupid hoe shoulda befriended me
    Then she coulda probably came back

    You're a stupid hoe
    You're a stupid hoe
    You're a stupid hoe

    And I ain't hit that note,
    But, fuck you stupid hoe
    Yeah, fuck you stupid hoe
    I said fuck a stupid hoe,
    Yeah, fuck a stupid hoe
    I said fuck a stupid hoe,
    Yeah, fuck a stupid hoe
    I said fuck a stupid hoe
    Yeah, fuck a stupid hoe

    Seriously though, I nearly flubbed typing the 'artistic styling' line due to laughing so hard I couldn't type.
    If you truly want NSFE....this should be near the top. It make BS* totally listenable in comparison!!!

    I miss lyrics with meaning.......
