Abstract
We have investigated the cosmological implications of the bulk viscous cosmological model with variable G and $\Lambda$. These results are found to be compatible with the present observations. The classical cosmological tests for this model encompass the Freese et al ones. The model has some sprits of the Standard Model. The inflationary solution which solves the Standard Model problems is obtained as a special solution. The influence of viscosity is shown to affect the past and the future of the Universe.
