We are late to take this decision
Should Pubs close down at 11pm

It becomes most unrealistic when people who have not visited pub anytime in their lives start commenting on pub life, for me visitng a pub not at all affects the social causes, we call our ancestors were socially more realistic than us on the point of social values. its often called that we are soci...ally degraded or a person is degrading the society by visiting a pub, no , out ancestors were having the same thing with an other name'madira'. it depends on totally the thinking of the person that what he thinks abt visitng a pub, or enjoying the pub life. pubs provide you an atmosphere to have a drink without disturbing ones family. so for me its fine untill its fine fine with your body.Read More

Oh yes, it's that drill, whizzing around Now there’s the sucker, to catch all the bits And to finish, a mouthwash, mind the drips! Maybe in a minute, I’ll read my book Maybe in a minute, I’ll take a look I'm waiting at the dentist, patiently for my mate But somehow I just can’t seem to concentrate I look around the room, how many people can I see There’s about nine or ten, but that’s including me Some reading the paper, or an old magazine Some watching each other, as if in a dream I was waiting at the dentist, watching cartoons on the tv I was waiting at the dentist, thank goodness it was not for me I was waiting at the dentist, I was with a friend today I was waiting at the dentist, now we’re off I'm glad to say'''' all the above lines seems to good while reading but when it comes to oral care it becomes damn important to visit your dentist regularly. aakhir its the question of visiting your girl/boy friends.............
