Ah, so it was a sudden thing then. I was going on the basis you wouldn't have done the deed without planning body disposal, alibi etc.

In the vein of "Before you criticise someone, you should walk a mile in their shoes", the point being that when they get pissed off you will already be a mile away and they will have no shoes.

Apparently HID's halloumi nut casserole she attempted last week had a bit of a malfunction and as we're doing the ThnxG meal this weekend it was suggested I came home early to put the oven on to the self-clean function. Still, it does mean that while my eyes are watering and I'm generally being asphyxiated, I can have a peaceful afternoon of drinking and Xbox.

Pilots who try and blame ground crew for something they failed to do are not cool.

Exciting news, Peterborough has a good Indian restaurant.

Whatever happened to that one on hwy 7 somewhere east of the 'Log Cabin' place where the bus from Toronto to Ottawa stops. It was on the south side of the road and I think it was part of a motel? It never seemed like a good location away from any town.

Haven't tried that new place yet....heard its good though! However to be fair I do enjoy Shafiq's taste of Inida.....Shafiqu knows me by name when I pop in for my Chicken Vinadaloo takeout!

It is good though my husband said his vindaloo wasn't good. The veggie stuff is excellent . Never really took to the other two places.

Are you going to friends for thanksgiving ?

To be fair, we do also.

From a Guardian article about how to write complaints:
Good advice for those who use the word.

Yikes...calling staff at Heathrow at Christmas time a 'jobsworth' got me nowhere but my Canadian born kids learned a new word.

Received a threatening and random call from a very incompetent scammer this morning.

It was a CRA scam: “you MUST provide all your bank and credit card details RIGHT THIS MINUTE because the MOUNTIES are on their way to arrest you RIGHT NOW!!!. You have 2 minutes before they arrive”.

Now, this was amusing to me (not least because I played dumb and requested service in French as well as asking for their mailing address...), but not so amusing when one thinks of others who may not have a good grasp of English &/or the way CRA/government agencies here function .
