Had a drink with Mario earlier. In passing he told me that last night he had 34 plastic chairs stolen from outside his bar. Seriously, what a petty crime that is. Fair play to Mario he was very philosophical about it, but at the end of the day it is not something that he, or [...]

December 10th, 2008A well stocked bar & big kitchen at the D-Bar
I have been using the D-Bar more these days, which on one level isn’t hard as for years I never used it all! There are two reasons primarily why this was the case:
