Other than cradles? Of course, it never crossed my mind that you'd have cradles in your basement. Didn't you say that you're in the GTA?

No, never.

That's true, we do need a reasonable level of commitment.

I'm not at all bothered what you post. I don't believe very much of it but your exploited immigrant schtick has been quite entertaining.

Touched a nerve did I your response sounds very touchy? One idea of this forum is for expats to share experiences - and what we did to resolve them as I posted on this thread. You spend most of your time here trolling and ridiculing. Its been quite entertaining for me watching your obsession with this thread and anywhere else I post. Its like being stalked by an emotional Chihuahua with PMT - no effect whatsoever.

I wonder how many newcomers actually stay on this forum with the way you and some other members troll them.

You'd have to have a basement first....
