One does one's best.

You certainly do....can imagine your pick up lines during "your younger years".

I never used pick-up lines. I never stood a chance with the fairer sex anyway.

Hey baby, I'm a genie in a bottle if you rub me the right way.

Never fails!

mmm....and who was it that was telling us a few months ago about a liaison with the most beautiful woman he had ever met in his younger years......the name escapes me for the moment.......but I'm sure it will come back to me.

Really? Sure the person concerned said it was a liaison?

Well, I thought so, but wouldn't know where to begin to look for the message again, but knowing the person involved, I'm sure he could state the time and date off the top of his head!!!!

Is this what you refer to, perchance? No liaison there, but probably what you meant...

Ahem - I said Brit meetup, not Brit beat up! But carry on guys - it sure beats Eastenders (not that I could bear to watch it these days anyway!). Talking of bears - I had the chance to check out the web cam at www.polarbearcam.com The polar bears are normally in Churchill during Oct/Nov while they wait for the Hudson Bay to freeze, so you get to see them lazing around, babes in tow, ahh, such a lovely sight. It's a good long trek from here - 2 days and nights by train but should be good fun and well worth it!

Really, would be curious to know what type of women it attracted, sure does nothing for me......hehehe

Only you, only you....could find an obscure message like that. I thought there had been some sort of liaison or something between the two of you - perchance there was another message with a little more action? I'm sure i saw one.

It's called going off-topic and happens all the time and is always done in good fun.

Again, it really is worth it. I can't remember how we got there whether by car or train. They had a CBC special about Churchill and how during certain times of year they had to put the bears to sleep because they were coming into the town and walking along the street trying to find food. Can you imagine one day looking out your window and seeing a polar bear with cubs strolling down your street.....really amazing. After you go, let us knwo your thoughts about the experience. It's been a very long time for me.

Yes I know it's off topic - hence my comment Fun yes but not always fun for the poor shmuck who wants to read the real topic originally stated which has somehow got hidden away, way deep inside some strange conversations perpertrated by strange and weird imaginations that only the writer can truly appreciate the direction and meaning within which they may be going in the cold dark wilderness of the BBC cupboard within which Gordon the Gopher used to reside.. Mmmm, sorry, you've got me at it now

But it's lots of fun, sometimes more fun than staying on-topic.

What part of Winnipeg are you living in? I was born in St. Boniface, and lived there for a number of years, before finally moving and living in East Kildonan? before we left Manitoba for Ontario permanently.


Lots of snow in Winnipeg these days?

I think that we ought to make a sepcial efort to keep on topic, though.

St Boniface is the patron saint of brewers, I believe. Are there breweries in the area?
