Re: Random stuff - the anything else thread
My morning commutes were always too early for the morning shows....lol
On another random note there is someone in the neighbirhood who sets of fire works usually at 1 or 2am and only a couple times but this morning they were on a roll from 630 to 645. Scared the life out of me. |

Frum: Hello, this is CBC radio in Canada, is Idi Amin there? Palace: No, Idi Amin ****ed off! You could hear the chatter of automatic weapons fire in the background. |

When I was in Ottawa, a miserable time, Lyse Doucette was the voice of "As It Happens".. Now she's the Chief International Correspondent for the BBC so I hear her every day on the World Service. I like her voice but it always brings memories of that hideous climate; frozen or buggy, and I wonder why Canada hasn't moved the capital somewhere tolerable.

I lack ambition; I don't deny it, but this guy really makes me feel lazy. If you showed a time lapse video of me over the past 60 days it wouldn't look like this.
