Of the top names, The EEE & Whistle is my favorite. I like to get away from that US term Bar & Grill. Makes me think the patrons are belived to be to slow to know what the establishment is for.

I don't know what the Whistle is for. I'll just ask the first time I stop in, may help break the ice.

In olde days in Britain, drinking vessels in pubs would have a small whistle built into the handle. When you needed more beer, you'd "whistle for it" That's where the term comes from. Also "wet your whistle"

Not that that's why I picked the "EEE and whistle". It just has a nice pub sound to it=-)

The EEE and whistle sounds familiar.
Nice and warm, has that rusty ethereal character with it.

Of course, I just go to a pub named Ship and Anchor so...

Don't you just hate how a good day can turn into a bad day instantly? I hate it. I absolutely f***ing hate it.

All it takes is one person getting mad about the dumbest thing, and poof, game over. Put on the pout face and start the yelling screaming match.

Like I said, I hate it. That is why we must all expect our days to be bad from the get go. That way when they turn to ****, we won't be surprised.

Nothing good Last, everything bad does. Does this depress you? It does me.

Sorry, I had to vent.... women

I'm similiar to Tesco, (thats scary), I try to live every day as it might be my Last, Yes sometimes the arguments and yelling are going to happen and its depressing, especially afterwords, but one must live with that as part of life's obstacles. The main thing is to be careful in what you say so you don't regret it afterword. Remember words can hurt and once said can never be taken back. Its hard when this happens, but you must learn to live with it, if you don't, then you are making it harder on yourself. Sometimes, what I do, when I want to yell or give a barb back, is bite my tongue and just walk into another room and mumble to myself, this doesn't always make you feel good, but sometimes is the best thing to do. However, I am not always successful and then the regret will set in, but I try very hard. I'm basically easy going and this does help and I try not to let it get to me.... I don't know if this helps, but, always try to have a good day, you never know when it might be your Last and then its to late and what's been said or done is out of reach.

good luck and like Tesco said, have a good day.....

just some ideas mac

Not I my friend. I enjoy every day. Occasionaly Tesco must cry ( like when Ray Bourque raised the cup Last year ) but most days Tesco's motto is F*&^ it two s**&^ in a bucket. and be very polite to everyone. And if I get mad, i go quiet and think out exactly what I am going to say so there is only a responce and not insults etc...

People need time to adjust to that style but it works ( so far )

I just figure in the day to day activities of life there is nothing to worry about. Because the bad stuff will jump out of nowhere and you will have to deal with them then.

And have a good investment plan.
