More often than not, they're union executive talks them into it. They go along because they don't want to comprimise they're barganing position by looking weak. Mc Guinty did them a favour by legislating them back to work. Now they have to allow an arbitrator to come up with a solution. I'm guessing money (hourly rate ) had little to do with this dispute. I think it's more about schedules and working conditions which go hand in hand

Now that's a photo I can honestly say I've never seen. God, they look like kids in that one. Cool picture Roxie

Cheers Ev. Carlin has alway's had a wonderful eye for this crazy world. We need a few more like him

Quiet night was it I think I'll have a pint of bitter. I 've earned it today

Bizarre weather we're having. I can't speak for Alberta but snow on the west coast in the middle of April is unheard of. It was sunny testerday but cold for this time of year

Red , White and Black. Bring it on Lebanon

Whoa. OK folks. You know it's usually me that's the first to get thrown out of the bar. Face first through them saloon doors many a time Let's try starting over. I buy a round then someone else buy's a round and we talk. We buy more rounds and we talk some more. We've all been bad on this site from time to time let's try to bury the hatchet for a while and maybe we'll find that we have more in common than we realize....... Bartender, keep them coming

You betchya

Your amongst friends girl, should we step in ?

He's here, He just bought the last round

Thanks Gerald !

My thoughts exactly. I've alway's liked it but I think I like it more now than when it was first released. I agree, it does seem to have more of Robert's stamp on it but I think Jimmy shines. Very underated album

Make that two bartender

One on the way, Bonnie and Ev call in your order. I'm buying

We'll just have to make it a fun place again Cheers

A very intereting read. Such a sad story for such a great talent.

You seem very dedicated and all joking aside, I respect the fact that you have chosen a field that will make a difference in young peoples lives. Good luck to you

Remember, your the boss, right !

See what happens when you drink beer

Those last 15 sec. are priceless, typical Jimbo

Excellent post Ev. I'm not a fan of EVH solos. The only time I hear any soul in his playing is with his riffs. Maybe the best rhythm player I 've ever heard. I mean that as a compliment

Where would you park her ?

If there is anything out there it is likely that the Fudge were the target band and Zeppelin were on there by accident. You just never know.
