Something different for today's offering. I trawled for this one after thinking that I'd love to just walk in for a 'last one' at my favourite watering hole instead of being 'Dexed and Dry'
Although I ran a pub/restaurant for 7 years before MM got me I have never been a big drinker… but I did belong to CAMRA (A Real Ale Society) and enjoyed…[Read more]

'Should get all you musicians together to cut/burn a record…Tom'.

DaiCro replied to the topic A POV From Pat… in the forum Treatment 15 years, 2 months ago
After re-reading Pat's argument I have something to offer.
