Re: Edmonton V Halifax (cant decide)
Me and my partner will be moving to Canada around May 2009 to check it out after we have been to New Zealand. We have narrowed our preferred choice between Edmonton and Halifax. However we are undecided of which one would be the better choice.
Could anyone give us some information which might help us decide. Down below is a list of what we want and don't want out of a city.
Don't:
Not too windy: I can't stand it when it's windy neither can my partner. If anyone has been to Edinburgh you'd understand why!
Crime: High crime rate is a no no, although if everything else fitted into our desires I wouldn't mind so much considering I lived in London for years.
Graffiti: So long as it is not plastered everywhere we don't mind so much.
Skyscraper delight: I personally don't like sky scrapers but my partner doesn't mind. So the less the better
Wants:
-Nice cafe's: comfortable ones, not the plastic seating type you get all the time. One's with lovely sofa's and a relaxing atmosphere.
-Nice architecture: I know nothing will compare to Edinburgh but it has to be NON industrial.
- Affordable housing: although by the time we move a lot will change.
- Greenery: Plenty parks and greenery. We love Adelaide for that, there are so many parks and trees here it's great. We like walking so parks etc are important, we don't want to walk around and just see sky scrappers.
-Relaxing city - nothing like London where everyone is running about and banging into you.
- Friendly people with a good attitude.
- Nice pubs: Ones that have sofa's and comfortable seating and a relaxed atmosphere - not your old mans pub or yob (if that's the correct word usage) style loud ones.
- Good job opportunities in the community sector (Occupational Therapist and Community Educator; Youth Work etc). Hard to answer I know but someone may have an idea.
- Shopping: Like a typical women my partner loves her shopping. I couldn't care less.

In that case it comes up trumps in that respect. Keep searching and you will probably unravel a lot of other things, that will help you decide where you are going to move to. Also most people that live their seem to like it a lot anyway.

You clearly know as much about meteorology as you do about statistics. SFA.

By the way these meteor thingys are always dropping down in Peru and the locals believe they are green men from far far far away.
But please Novocastrian do everyone a favor and don`t turn this thing into another CRIME RATES thread. Someone open the door and let me out ah......... The little green men are after me.

But what has that got to do with the occurrence of high winds?
Sorry for the cross thread reference, but in both instances you were pontificating about things which you clearly don't understand. If this appearance is a only result of imperfect english, then I apologize for drawing attention to it.

Apology accepted and you know something you really are as they say in the UK a great old stick. One of the few understanding people on this forum.

You knowsomething I first started to learn English reading Biggles books so that explains that. Maybe I should call you a good old bean. Is that better?

On the other hand, I consider "Wey, he's a canny bugga, y'knaa", to be a well-turned compliment, so what would I know?

Called an Irish guy near where I work a today "a bugga" and in return he called me a cheeky git!!!!!!!

Any chance of keeping on the topic. I don't think anyone has a clue what you two are rambling on about
