Don't really disagree Belgian but that Holiday Inn lounge act quality may make it entertaining...our regular night talk shows have become so blase IMHO and Saturday Night Live last week was full of absolute humorless "jokes" and skits...I'm just saying it may be a bit of fresh air if only ...

Agreed Gary and there are several European blondes that I do enjoy but I never have been able to get over that skunky taste and I have definitiely tried.

Without meaning to disrespect anyone's opinion I find Heini to be one of the lousiest beers around...with Grolsch not far behind. Perhaps the style is just not for me. I could almost say I would rather have a glass of water...

Someone started with a French Onion soup but there wasn't any cheese on top or croutons/bread, definitely not the soup as most of ...

Well I suspect that no-one is anxious to identify themselves or their business due to fears of retribution...visits by the local building inspector or the like. I am not saying that would happen but I'm sure there are those out there who think it might. There are enough rules and regulations out the...
