OR do a search for clubs in Toronto here:

OR hell, pick a bar in midtown (yonge & eg) and buy the first round and I'll bring my board.
EDIT: whoops, no it's not... still had my mind on those chaps...

lol...
darvlay, you are one strange individual.
are you sure you're boring enough to live in the Big Smoke?
yonge and eligible, eh? you ever go to Berlin (snicker) - where men meets woman?
Originally posted by darvlayah.. no. I'm a bit old for Berlin. (I think I exceed the maximum IQ limit as well, but that's a different issue)

local places I like tend to be the pubs and a few restaurants...
if you ever get the chance, "Across The Road" is a wonderful restaurant with great service. There's also a new Thai place on Eglinton called Lime which is pretty good, but get the young lady waitress, because the guy is a grumpy prick.
as for pubs, I'd say the best hangout in the area is "The Longest Yard"

What countries have legalized gay marriage?
What countries have the death penalty?
Do you have chess clubs in your cities?
In what countries is abortion legal?
(Never mind the squiggly lines)
Does this define a civilised/uncivilised country??
Or a moral/immoral one?
Or is this just to pass the time, EDG?
😀
Originally posted by DecanterI used to frequent the area around 4 years ago but cabs home used to hurt my slim wallet but I should get up there soon. My main vice is nice restaurants and they have a plethora of them there. The best that I went to in that area was Zucca. What a chef!
ah.. no. I'm a bit old for Berlin. (I think I exceed the maximum IQ limit as well, but that's a different issue)

Other than that, I've drank my face at most pubs around there and have even done a few karaoke numbers at Kramers...

What squiggly lines?
We have roundabouts that you don't seem to have in america.
Anyway:
Gay Marriage - soon, maybe.
Death penalty - not for 50 years or so.
Chess clubs - yes.
Abortion - legal.
Squiggly lines - I'm still confused.
On the roads in the UK they have squiggly lines painted

Originally posted by elvendreamgirlI also thought that the USA had no roundabouts, and was therefore very shocked when I came across a "rotary" in my hire-car on my vacation in New England last month. They're not proper though, they don't have multiple lanes on them or filter lanes or any other high-tech traffic jam creators like our proper British ones.
Well, we are roundabout challenged here then :-(
One great thing is that (in most places) in the USA you can turn right at a red traffic light... great fun, watch out for pedestrians!
