Forgive me BE, for I have sinned.
 

It's no good.

I'm assimilating.

I turned on my outside Christmas lights yesterday, to offer support to the Cochrane Light Up. And it was only the 24th November.

And I also like Hedley and Daughtry.

I am so sorry. :( :o





What are your new Canadian "sins"?

Re: Forgive me BE, for I have sinned.
 

Feeling somehow justified as the Toronto Argos kick butt over the Calgary Stampeders.

Mea culpa. But I'll feel even better if Wild Rose, sorry the Conservative Party, lose Calgary Centre tomorrow,

Re: Forgive me BE, for I have sinned.
 

Hedley and Daughtry? who dat?

sins? i buy a cup of coffee and take it home

Re: Forgive me BE, for I have sinned.
 

vaguely pop/light rock/soft rock/middle of the road blah, played incessently on Vaguely Pop/Lite/Soft/Middle of the Road FM.

And they're good. :sneaky:

Re: Forgive me BE, for I have sinned.
 

Their collective butts were well and truly kicked (so I understand, not having a clue which way is up in ye old CFL).

Wild Rose? Meh. Is anyone voting tomorrow - I did not know. They probably didn't mention it in the headlines on Vaguely Pop/Lite/Soft/ Middle of the Road FM.

Re: Forgive me BE, for I have sinned.
 

WTF IS GOING ON WITH PEOPLE TODAY!

Re: Forgive me BE, for I have sinned.
 

You mean, it's not just me? Yay! :p

Re: Forgive me BE, for I have sinned.
 

I found myself listening to light 95.9 FM the other day:thumbdown:...i had to stop the car and go for a walk to clear my head..its a slippery slope before you know it you will be liking Canadian chocolate:ohmy:

Re: Forgive me BE, for I have sinned.
 

She's a Witch :demon: - BURN HER!!!!!! :rofl:

The answer to your question - None - I am without sin :britflag: :rofl:

Re: Forgive me BE, for I have sinned.
 

How can one assimilate to a vacuum?

Re: Forgive me BE, for I have sinned.
 

Too many to count I suspect.


I sometimes say "toe may toe" now, automatically, without thinking:eek:

I like maple syrup on my crispy bacon:huh:

Worst of the recent ones is I have discovered I like Justin Bieber... offspring #1 is off to see him in teronna next week, so Ive been exposed to his musical offerings in the car, and hes alright...:thumbsup:



:getcoat:

Re: Forgive me BE, for I have sinned.
 

I fear it may be too late cheeky_monkey. I can get through nearly a whole Purdy's selection box.

And there are only so many Radio 4 Friday Night Podcasts I can listen to, before Middle of the Road FM sneaks it way back through the speakers.

Yeah right! :p

By giving up the good fight. The void, the void - it pulls me in.

Re: Forgive me BE, for I have sinned.
 

Syrup and bacon - iaink, go and stand in the corner.

Bieber? Oh dear. I'm so sorry again. It's bad, isn't it? I have to forgive you on this one, you can't help it. I took my daughter to see Avril Lavigne last year so I cannot claim any moral high ground here. (Enjoy! :sneaky:).

Re: Forgive me BE, for I have sinned.
 

Im not going... shes off with her best friend as a birthday thing. I may be gone native, but Im not yet totally insane, three 10y.o girls and the bieb? Someone else can supervise that:lol:

Actually the mum whos going on the Bieber trip is a friend of Avril Lavignes mom, they went to church camps together or something... Up until about a week ago the skaterpunkdwarf was DDs #1 fave.. but that was soooo last week:D

Re: Forgive me BE, for I have sinned.
 

I'm really struggling to think of anything. Poutine?? nope - always loved cheesy chips with onion gravy. Tim Hortons (yuk) - nope I still put the kettle on and make nescafe instant or when I have time use the cafetiere :thumbsup: Ice Hockey?? nope - watched it in England.(live and on TV) Maple syrup on poor quality overcooked fatty streaks of so called 'bacon' - nope I still eat proper bacon without syrup!! Country music??? - NOOOO!!!!! Avril Lavinge - yes please but not her music ;) Canadian Chocolate??? - I have an account at Bulk Barn and take delivery of Yorkies by the pallet :rofl:



It would appear that I' maintaining the thin red line. :britflag: :thumbsup:

Joking aside there is nothing wrong with asimilating if thats what someone wants. I enjoy living here and Im happy. I accept that there are differences some things better some things worse.

Re: Forgive me BE, for I have sinned.
 

You are a bastion of all things Brit.

My tongue is so firmly wedged in my cheek - I totally get there is nothing wrong with joining in. But music and Christmas lights were things I was holding firm on - and I failed. :lol:

But at least it's not Country Music, eh, mandymoochops?!

Me :rofl:

Re: Forgive me BE, for I have sinned.
 

Is it OK to call someone a bastion??


Maple syrup and bacon IS good. So is coating bacon in black pepper and bworn sugar or maple syrup and baking it. It sets of the smoke detectors but it's worth it, bacon candy.

Re: Forgive me BE, for I have sinned.
 

Awesome

Good to go

lover of timmy ho's

losing ability to appreciate irony :thumbdown::(

pub culture seems alien

oversharing with people I don't know that well

Re: Forgive me BE, for I have sinned.
 

I had the opposite experience the other day. I was listening to Boards of Canada and the missus asked where they were from. I always assumed they were Canadian (cos, you know, the name), turns out they are scotch. I wasn't sure whether to be relieved or disappointed.

Re: Forgive me BE, for I have sinned.
 

Hmmmmm..... :frown:

Re: Forgive me BE, for I have sinned.
 

I see your Hedley (runners up for Canadian Idol no less) and raise you Nickelback who I floved when I first came to Canada. Of course, I didn't realise that a) every song they do is exactly the same and b) they are pretty disgusting excuses for human beings.

Other than that, I quite like Tim Hortons.:eek:

Re: Forgive me BE, for I have sinned.
 

I don't like any Canadian bands so at least there's that. :thumbup:

Re: Forgive me BE, for I have sinned.
 

I like hockey.

Mea maxima culpa.

Re: Forgive me BE, for I have sinned.
 

Well, you did at least get the thread right this time.

Re: Forgive me BE, for I have sinned.
 

I feel for you.....

Re: Forgive me BE, for I have sinned.
 

Are you a big fan of Telly Savalas' music?

Re: Forgive me BE, for I have sinned.
 

Thinking a brown car and brown seats looks Okay. I like some Hedley. Starting to really like some of the furniture in stores, erm and Poutine.

I still draw the line at going out in my PJ's and I still hate the yep when you thank someone.

Re: Forgive me BE, for I have sinned.
 

Sinner !!!

Re: Forgive me BE, for I have sinned.
 

I blame neuroplasticity. I think our brains are being re-circuited or whatever they call it by Canada.

Re: Forgive me BE, for I have sinned.
 

Hate to interrupt your whine fest, (sp), but what about Doug and the Slugs? C'mon, best drive-show tunes ever!:thumbup:

Re: Forgive me BE, for I have sinned.
 

I have to agree. I hated the furniture and yet now I'm starting to like certain bits. Oh no, what's next... :unsure:

Re: Forgive me BE, for I have sinned.
 

Ooh, that's another one. I'm going to hell. :unsure:

:p :rofl:

Re: Forgive me BE, for I have sinned.
 

Found myself studying the crock pots which were on sale in Wal Mart last night but managed to pull myself away from a bargain just in time. Those pot lucks will have to make do with my good old cheese and pineapple hedgehog for a little longer.

Re: Forgive me BE, for I have sinned.
 

Christ! I think I'd prefer a real roadkill skunk.

Re: Forgive me BE, for I have sinned.
 

No doubt it's an ironically retro hedgehog.

Crock pots. Ugh, the death of cooking.

Re: Forgive me BE, for I have sinned.
 

Brown walls, baby cack coloured walls. We have a couple :(

Re: Forgive me BE, for I have sinned.
 

I wonder if a Canadian, after living in the UK for a few years, would one day say "oh, I love having carpet wall to wall in the bathrooms - and these little rooms with doors everywhere, it's just so cute".
:lol:

Re: Forgive me BE, for I have sinned.
 

"ooo and instant coffee, my favourite"

Re: Forgive me BE, for I have sinned.
 

and toilet seats with carpeting covers on them and anaglypta wallpaper and immersion heaters and canned potatoes (yikes, I am showing my age).
