Playing poker live

I prefer to play poker live, rather than online. sometimes at my mates house or in the pub or at an orginized poker club or casino. I find online poker to be a bit dull after a while, the main reason is that you aint got no one to talk to on line, apart from the crappy player chat thingy, wich most people use to abuse and insult the muppets, I`v done it myself, on many occasions.
Any opinions about live verses online, post me a comment and we can all live happy and fruitfull lives, for all of eternity or something.
