Re: Random stuff - the anything else thread
So a free coffee and paper for spending a tenner. Sausages? 
It shouldn't be difficult to find something for £10 and make it worth it even if whatever it was only cost £8 or £9 in ASDA. But it's probably just worth it for the social aspect.
Now that would be a reason to meet up with someone . Makes more sense than going to Tim Hortons.
The same one as before?
Go out with DandNHill instead. Well, the N part anyway.

Re: Random stuff - the anything else thread
Now dependent on your hosts and the type of Super Bowl party it should be that you don't know or care about the rules you cheer for the team that is wearing the nicest coloured uniforms, do you prefer bottled, canned or kegged beer, do you want your wings with sauce or brushed with tongue numbing hot sauce or do you want chicken or beef on your nachos. As for Timberlake you will be hoping that there are no wardrobe malfunctions and I doubt Janet Jackson will be a special guest.

It's all about the adverts. Hang around the kitchen until half time then pay attention for half an hour.

The worst thing about American sport is how looooonnnggggg it takes. We were given maple leaves tickets. I am not a sport fan but I thought an hour, how bad can it be? Three hours later... Makes rugby seem reasonable (not really). Drink plenty of beer. Or plenty of anything really. Go Eagles.

Re: Random stuff - the anything else thread
Haga, I've read and absorbed all the advice. I'm keen on the hanging about in the kitchen part. I have to take my own gluten free snacks and wine so I'll guard them until I've had enough then I'll let the hoards tuck in. I'll try and stay reasonably sober as I had a skinful on Thursday and my liver doesn't recover as well as it used to do.

Yeah. BC govt made us apply for CPP over the summer. Just got the decision which was no. CPP has a higher threshold to meet.
BC PWD system recognizes having a disability doesnt necessarily one cannot work but may not be able to work full time or work consistently long term so permits one to work and earn some income.
BC PWD also includes healthcare above normal MSP coverage. For instance most medications prescribed are covered in full including dispensing fee.
Eye exam I think every 2 years and 1,000 basic dental every 2 years. Dont quote me on the exact amounts as I could be off.
If a single parent there is also training programs available for in demand jobs.
