Thirsty Bernie's is a bar owned by a friend of mine I was there last night..... its a great place if you like to watch sport and eat great food with your beer.......... and you are hanging around in Arlington Virginia......... the last bit about hanging out in Virginia is the tricky bit...... the bar is really great you should certainly check it out if you are in Arlington........ but the whole Virginia thing is probably best avoided if you are a Brit and driving a car ...... I was talking to another pretty well known Brit journalist today who has also just been done for speeding in Virginia........ it is a serious drag for him too...... what seems like pretty ordinary speeds in Britain are regarded as mega serious offenses in Virginia...... it really is somthing totally alien to a European..

I heard today Virginia law makers want to keep their law that allows guns to be sold with no background checks at gun shows....... er yeah..... Virginia Tech massacre victims parents petitioned to have the gun show background free pass removed ...... but no ....... Virginia..... its an alien place alright......... hard place to understand if you are a Brit.

Hey its not all bad Thirsty Bernie's has great sport, beer, food and a great crowd .......... This picture looks like it features Christmas lights but its just condensation on the outside window that is giving the points of light the crazy festive glow.
