Will replied to Peter Sharpe's discussion Improving my relationship with my father"I also like the idea of telling him what you said here. Of course, he may not want to; but I think it's very possible he'll be delighted."
Jess Levens replied to Peter Sharpe's discussion Improving my relationship with my father"You could just tell him exactly what you said here. Is he local? How hard is it to see him logistically? You could always invite him on some sort of weekend trip, whether camping, or Vegas, or whatever. Be honest. Tell him you want…"

Guys.I am 27. Since my parents split up 17 years ago my relationship with my Dad has never been the same. I talk to him perhaps once a week and see him maybe twice a year. However, all the affection has gone. Our meetings are very civil but I don't see him as someone "safe" that I could share my problems with.He remarried about 8 years ago and now takes much more interest in his new extended family than the relationship he has with me and my Sister. I can understand people moving on and he did…See More
Connor replied to Peter Sharpe's discussion A Night at the Honky Tonk"As many of the guys here said, the movies, tv shows and music videos pretty much sum up a good country bar. I live in rural ON Canada, and the country bars are all frequented by the same people, every guy who can dance is on the floor all night with…"
Drew replied to Peter Sharpe's discussion A Night at the Honky Tonk"That's the video shot in the bar I'm a regular at! It's the Cowboy Palace Saloon, if you're curious."
Jack Bauer replied to Peter Sharpe's discussion A Night at the Honky Tonk"That video's pretty typical for Toby Keith -- Good 'Ol Boy anthems. If you liked it that much, you should give him a listen.

Thank you for all your answers. I really liked the music video, very good!
I think I will definitely have to take a trip to the Honky Tonk next time I am in the States. We get force fed a lot of garbage over here about the USA which is far…"
Rick Shelton replied to Peter Sharpe's discussion A Night at the Honky Tonk"Good music, good people. Can be a bit rowdy though. I used to "roadie" for my dad who played a double-neck pedal steel guitar as well as 6 string lead for a country band. Never really had any trouble as we were…"
Jack Bauer replied to Peter Sharpe's discussion A Night at the Honky Tonk"Yep. Mixture of that, and a Toby Keith music video ...

Suburban Sentinel replied to Peter Sharpe's discussion A Night at the Honky Tonk"If you go to the rougher places sit far away from the pool table. The pool cues aren't too dangerous but when those billiard balls start flying around that can get you seriously killed."
Jacob Stokes replied to Peter Sharpe's discussion A Night at the Honky Tonk"Went to quite a few while in college. One we went to regularly it was a honky tonk sort but more of a country line dance bar. Good bands a always packed.There were several close to campus that we frequented that was more of a dive bar. Had…"
"Be ready for casual shit talk, but once past that the places can be a lot of fun. People will still be rather cliquish but I always found far friendlier and more open than much louder dance clubs. Also feels far more open to asking an…"
Drew replied to Peter Sharpe's discussion A Night at the Honky Tonk"Your imagination isn't too far off. The bar I frequent is one of only two greatly legit honky tonks in my area (Los Angeles). Live music every night, no cover charge and atmosphere out the hoohah. As far as the drinks go, I'm a beer and…"
Mike S. replied to Peter Sharpe's discussion A Night at the Honky Tonk"Just like any bar, depending on who's there, it can be a blast or a bust. I usually have a blast at country bars. Country girls know how to party, that's for sure."

Gents.I live in Liverpool, England. A great party town with plenty of places to go out, drink and just have a good time. Recently, I have been reading about Honkey Tonk bars, probably after listening to too much Country and watching too much Justified.As an outsider, these places seem like an absolutely fanctasic night out.So I am asking what your experiences are, what is the atmosphere like? what are the drinks? and the women like?Clubs in the UK are quite flat. There is a strange paradox…See More

Life Lessons I have Learned From Playing Cricket
Posted on May 10, 2011 at 12:00pm 0 Comments 1 Like
Cricket out of Compton, a Los Angeles based organisation, are using the sport of cricket as a way to help gang members in LA turn their lives around. The organisation arranges games in the USA and International tours for players (recently they played a series of matches in Australia)
As a lifelong cricket fanatic I found this fascinating. Cricket is a very popular sport in some parts of the world, but certainly not in…
