Re: I phookin 'ate Canada
I reckon she's just trying to keep up with me! 
In 26 years of driving in the UK, I had just one parking ticket, ....ever!
Since April I have had one speeding (photo), one parking (was lucky not to be towed apparently!
, and I still don't understand why I couldn't park there) and have been stopped twice by the police for "disregarding a traffic signal" .... and they could have charged me for not stopping at a stop sign, and also failing to have my registration in the car with me!!!
OMG .... I quiver at the sight of a cop car now! Thing is .... I am SUCH a law-abiding person, I am totally humilated, ...... but I do a LOT of driving compared to my DH, and also have a lot on my mind most of the time, which is distracting. Sometimes I'm just surprised I haven't killed anyone yet!
I'm beginning to loathe driving in Calgary .... and have applied to a hospital-based job to cut down my mileage .... so don't be mean to Mrs C!

Chill out, kick back, and down a beer or two.
The house will be sorted soon, and you'll be so relieved to be in it that you'll forget the small delay.
As for Mrs. C's driving...... Give her a break..... Or at least show her how to use one..!!!! :scared:

Hi
Just a though, I hope that you understand the holdback on new builds, just in
case your contractor has not paid the sub-trades and they slap a lien on the buildings.

He was cowering a corner .
The idiot even told me 'well we started work at 6 and havent stopped', Problem was I sat outside for an hour (11-12) with noone there. (what a dick if he was honest I'd have been a little kinder to him)
Anyway the work WILL be finished when I left at 2:30 they had four drywallers, 3 painters, 3 finishers and two labourers working away!!!

Does your wife know that you speak about her that way?
You would pay big time if you were my husband!

Then when you don't have the money immediately to hand to give them, they wander off, and start another job elsewhere, still leaving the final bits unfinished!
Ours did thoughtfully leave old craft-knife blades lying about in nearly every room, just in case we felt the need to slash our wrists!
