If you wish to meet "Professional" ladies they can (apparantly) be found in the seedier parts of town, and often have contact numbers posted in public phone booths, or under "escort agencies" in the phone book

I see the (real) world around me. Hard to miss.

Went to that pub once, didnt like it. Its not a real pub and it doesnt serve real drinks, so why would I waste my time there

Must be because you're a man I guess....or we just don't have those types of things in Victoria.....

You have to let the pub grow on you .......like moss....take what you like and ignore the rest......

I went speed dating for the first time ever on Monday.

I had a real blast, and not just because it made a change from the 60+ year olds I'm hanging out with these days.

Most of the people I met were pretty normal, friendly and had good social skills. Strangely one of the exceptions was the Brit who was running the show...

Find out today if anyone was interested (ahem!) in me....

Still haven't found a Calgary pub with real ambience ... they're missing the patina formed by 40 years worth of nicotene, blood and vomit you find in your average traditional boozer ... and they have carpets, what's with that?

Careful....I think Iain has lost his sense of humour in all the snow they have in Ontario these days......

Don't waste your time searching in the NW for one unless you want 40 tvs in your face whilst you're trying to have a conversation.

I have two locals within driving distance in the SW ... haven't been in either in almost four years. Brew Brothers on 11th Ave is OK ... you can actually talk, but it's so clean. I've been in a couple of others, but I wouldn't recommend any of them ... at best they're wine bars for beer drinkers. The worst and most expensive beer in the city is of course available at the Saddledome concessions.

I think last time we discussed this, we decided that most Canadians drink heavilly and quietly at home rather than go out an do it socially ... if you try a selection of Calgary pubs, you'll understand why.
