Followup: The Dark Horse Pub persecution of the Irish is alive and well in the City of Toronto!!!!

Today I was at my neighbourhood internet cafe and I passed by The Dark Horse Pub. They now have a conditional pass from The Toronto Board of Health. Now I have eaten there and it is a clean establishment!!!! I wonder if politicians in the neighbourhood of Bloor West Village are taking bribes to replace good pubs everyone can attend, with Yuppie,Condo,Posh, places. They did the same thing to The Fan because a local politician lived behind it!!!!

Today I was at my neighbourhood Internet Cafe, (down the street from "The Dark Horse Pub"!!!!) I looked at the patio crowd, aswell as the menu and I was a bit horrified!!!! It was a yuppie lovefest outside!!!! The menu did feature the 14 different types of draughts that people could enjoy, but the food was a bit foreign to me!!!! I mean why not feature Fish and Chips, or Stew, or Bangers and Mash? Pubs to me are a place to let loose, get smashed, and enjoy Celtic or British pub fare!!!! This fitness craze to me is stupid, when the purpose of a pub is alcohol comsumption, and social interaction this truly perplexes me!!!!
