I've had that too...especially funny when the "I pay your wages" punter is someone you are dealing with because they are unemployed and always have been.:rofl:

To answer the initial questions, every place has it’s pro’s and con’s. Con: It’s COLD in the winter. After moving here I realized that Canada is very similar to the UK. I currently reside in Vancouver BC. If you like the outdoors, biking, hiking and skiing. This is the best place to live!

I would have to agree with JayMill on that one. Vancouver is a great city with an endless amount of outdoor activities. You will feel right at home since they do tend to get quite a bit of rain...

ok so where in the UK is similar to the Yukon? The Rockies? Drumheller?
OH I always thought some of the best skiing and mountain biking was at Kicking Horse my mistake, and of course the hiking in Kananaskis is SHITE.

Hmmm, I guess this must be another one of my pointless threads that no one wants to contribute to like Iain mentioned! Strange that it's now on page 51:confused:

Good reason to ban me I guess!:blink:

Act1980, ditto what Tangram said. Particularly as you are discussing moderator actions, which is against the rules - so let's not have another ban for that eh? ;)

Besides, the ban had nothing to do with this thread:confused:

Do I need to spell out again (in public this time) that starting a handfull of innocent FAQ threads can be seen as just human nature or part of "finding your way around", but a long series of them is going to be viewed as attention seeking trolling and dealt with accordingly.

Oh, and by the way, the range of situations where "Whatever" is an appropriate response to a moderators post is very narrow indeed.

Lets all move on.

Well said - got a job offer with Calgary Police so came over recently for a looksee. Does the place get greener in the summer?
