Re: Ottawa
Are residents of Ottawa known as Ottawan? Or is that a disco group from the 70's?

Re: Ottawa
21 last year eh? Good thing I got thermal underwear for Christmas then
It just snowed here in London and almost brought the place to a standstill, I guess people in Ottawa are better prepared?

Footie pub of Ottawa . . . . had a great time there during the FA Cup, until three minutes from the end.

Re: Ottawa
You'll appreciate your longjohns when it's -30 and you're going to be outside for any longer than two minutes. I walk 40 minutes to get to work, but layers of wool under a windproof shell, good boots and mittens and a windproof balaclava on top, makes it easypeasy. The worst part is the extra time it takes to get dressed.

Pub looks good, nicer then some of the fleapits in London, most of the proper pubs seem to be closing where I live.
Yes must have been tough, even I was rooting for the Hammers in that game

Re: Ottawa
Actually, aside from this deep freeze week, Ottawa is a very nice place.
Also your job opportunity will increase tremendously if you can speak Quebec French.
What was I thinking....I could have stayed down in Texas for warmer weather.
I haven't found a nice girlfriend yet so I couldn't upgrade Ottawa to a wonderful place.
