Thank god for the internet then. It was originally invented so that nerds/geeks could see what naked women actually looked like, and that tradition continues to this day...

Relatively inexpensive sushi and sashimi, especially dynamite and spicy tuna rolls for lunch.

I rather like the idea of bus transfers, so I can pop downtown to buy something and have a cheeky pint and come back only pay one fare.

Having lots of new things to moan about.

That's disgusting, full of floppies and uglies, fortunately they have the good grace to do it out of the way. I hate hippies, especially as it rains so much here. There's nothing much that smalls as bad as damp hippies.

I like hickory sticks. In fact, I think they were originally my main motivation for moving to Canada.
