Having just caught up with seven pages I have realised that we may or may not be taken over very soon and someone may or may not be banned from H&V.But what really jumped out at me was the mention of Arthur Negus and the nostalgic return of the word 'Div'.

Nine pages here and what really jumped out at me was Canada, what is the point? Maybe NATO could do a deal and give it to  Putin in compensation for keeping out of eastern Ukraine, not that I think for one minute Putin would want it.
Canada gave us John Candy, so it's alright in my book.


Then again it also gave us Jim Carrey...what's Putin's phone number?


Cobie Smulders

In before the red sox


For that I'm willing to send Putin elsewhere. Maybe France.

Mmmmm Cobie Smulders.

Canada's a great place to live and personally as a non-white person has given me 16 racism free years. I wish I could have said that for my time in England. Now, the winters are cold and long and there's too many French people...

Quite spectacular. Yes, played a few rounds of golf in the mountains. It really does not disappoint.

Probably better than -20c and 6 months of snow / slush

They aren't French, Toronto. They just think they are. Its because they live somewhere shit and its a reflex reaction. *

* I actually really like Canada. Lovely country.

Hey I hope nobody thought I was being serious with my French comment. Montreal in some areas is a bit of a dump though. Quebec City is lovely.
