Ugh sorry - misread your original post - didn't realise it's the blood pressure one...
Hope you manage to get some sleep :) Either I managed to sleep through two of them or it wasn't every hour this time. |
Re: Random stuff - the anything else thread
In Vancouver's West Side, you need to earn $450,000/year to buy and maintain a house. Median income there is $65,000
Most 'affordable' area is Maple Ridge, where income gap for a house is $35,000 https://www.citynews1130.com/2018/09...ncouver-homes/ There are 7 markets where a median income earner could buy a condo, Vancouver is not on the list. Our income is around 60% under the median, so I think its safe to say we have no future in this region. |

If someone knows someone travelling from Regina to Vancouver I'll send you a laptop. Networking like this can work with a little luck. I'll ask everyone at work today.

Re: Random stuff - the anything else thread
Why is it when life is pretty crap we start looking at moving back to the UK? I thought we had decided on Ontario, but I think that we has changed to I.
After our recent trip, I thought wow far too busy and we couldn't afford it anyway, however Mr Piff thinks Norfolk would be the answer, brainstorming resulted in me saying how about a car import business? Well that got cogs turning. I still like the little house on a lake and lots of travelling idea myself. |

I do thing same but instead of thinking of going to the UK, its the US. My wife wants to move to Switzerland, but I am not keen on living in Europe anywhere, prefer this side of the world, just not above the 49th parallel. |

I grew up in the Norfolk/Suffolk border and my folks and one sister still live there. While I couldn’t wait to get away when I left school, I now think it would be an entirely decent place to live we’re we ever to consider moving back across the pond. |
Re: Random stuff - the anything else thread
Donald Trump tweeted this today 3000 people did not die in the two hurricanes that hit Puerto Rico. When I left the Island, AFTER the storm had hit, they had anywhere from 6 to 18 deaths. As time went by it did not go up by much. Then, a long time later, they started to report really large numbers, like 3000... Ok Barack Obama, John McCain , Joe Biden, or anybody with a working brain, wherefore art thou? Will no one rid us of this ignorant, obnoxious, narcissistic fool? |
Re: Random stuff - the anything else thread
Today, 14 years after arriving in Canada, I heard my first Canadian 'eh' that was said naturally rather than for humour or some other effect.
"Beautiful day, eh?" said the woman to me while I was waiting for my taxi outside Superstore. Quite unremarkable and exactly the same use as I've heard many a time back in England. Why is it considered Canadian? |

Because it is a commonly used term in Canada.... there's no accounting for your experience since I might hear it 50 times after work in the bar.
