Had no choice. Handed back the lease car last month and the summers were slick so I left the winters and rims on there to compensate and not force me to buy a full new set right away for a car I was handing back. Otherwise I would still have winters on here too.

We had pretty bad flooding in Fredericton last year - they are warning the same could happen this year but we'll just have to wait and see. We didn't get quite as much snow here yesterday as Moncton did though thankfully.

You poor poppet.

I will think fondly of you when I munch my next chunk of Balderson (this one is six years old - to die for).

You really do know how to hurt a guy. :sneaky::p

Have you ever tried those "fat free" cheese (think plastic) slices? :eek::eek:

I've used them to fill holes and cracks in walls. Do they have other uses?

On the lines of "kicking a man while he's down";

It is a-snowing not in Richmond Hill.

They are edible (only just), don't taste of anything though. :huh:

They'd be better for filling cracks and holes. Can you paint over after they dry?

Yes, if you let them cure properly and use latex paint.

I don't mind rain - it is good for us Brits to have some rain - reminds us of our past lives in Great Britain :thumbsup:
