NB was not listed as a Province for a few months on one of the larger rental car companies last year..they said it was a printers error...I think they just forgot us.

Did you read the comment? Someone obviously doesn't realise 22 minutes is a comedy program!

"it sure didn't look like those 2 ladies were promoting N.B. it sounded more like they were poking fun at N.B. Shameful."

they say its comedy but it doesn't make me laugh

I've never watched it, most American humour is humourless to me... one exception being The Big Bang Theory, which is fairly amusing.

This hour is 22 minutes is Canadian and surely you must admit that Big Bang Theory has run its course.

I stand corrected - apologies. I still don't find it amusing at all though.

No, I still like the Bg Bang Theory, lol.

Most of the time This hour is quite corny/parochial (hmm.many posters on this forum would easily deduce it must be canadian then. :eek::eek:).

Big Bang is like many american sitcoms...take an idea/storyline/premise and just repeat repeat etc as it is all based on advertising revenue and the advertisers don't want to let go of a good thing.

I love Big Bang Theory and have done from the beginning. I used to work in Medical Physics so appreciate the characterisation. As for running it's course no i don't think it has as it changes as the characters age and new ones are introduced.

Wow the Liberals have thought about something that I actually agree with . Gasp !!

"The Fair crossing the road plan".....Fines for people using a cell while walking into traffic at crosswalks. Finally !! However it's just a plan for now not law.

Dunno, it's a 1965 build with a 66 year of registration if that helps.

Have other PC Financial Bank account holders checked the website today to see the new name/new look?

It's all the same layout. Kind of disappointing.

Being on a scooter last night coming home from work likely saved me from being in a bad accident.

A car was speeding in the opposite direction at a high rate of speed for a 2 lane residential area, and couldn't go around a curve at the speed and crossed over into my lane, had I been in a car, I would have had nowhere to go and would have resulted in a serious collision, but luckily on the scooter, I was able to swerve enough to avoid being hit, but it was still a very close call.

Luckily a cop was at a red light one block up and caught the arse wipe.

One thing I hate about my shift is the commute home, people seem to think at 1am because there is so little traffic they can drive at high rates of speed, and I am sure some are drunk.

Sounds like a lucky escape! Are you a scooter rider these days?
