He's awesome in the Canadian sense. i.e. ok, but a bit mediocre really.

He's a knob, not in the remotest sense funny. Same goes for that little gnome like fellow that jumps up and down a lot.

How long you been here?

Mercer irritated the crap out me until two years ago - he hit the right note in Bon Cop, Bad Cop as the hockey pundit - he played an irritating git with a loud tie that hates Quebec and European players, not too hard to guess who it was based on.

Still not so sure on the hoppy gnome ...

I don't think he's that bad - kind of like jon stewart with a much lower hit rate. I can't say I ever watch his show or am even inclined to do so either. As for a gnome like fellow that jumps about a lot - never seen him but you make it sound almost funny in your description

In the same vein as canadian as inserting the word 'buddy' into all sorts of sentences.

i.e

So, I sees 'buddy' down there at the Tim Horton's and he's orderin' a double double which he donts usually dose, eh?

OK - as Canadian as:

Calling a teabag in a cup of microwaved water tea!
Watering a baseball cap with fuzzy moose antlers.
Never tying your laces.
Calling jello with grated carrots in it a "salad dish"
Calling jello with instant whipped cream topping "trifle"
Mullets
Having a national sport that we can never win at (though that counts for the Brits too - except for the last eight games:thumbsup:)

If you're going to criticise the least you can do is get his name correct.

It's Ron JAMES.:sneaky:
