Vancouver Island
 

Hello Everyone,

Does anyone live on Vancouver Island?

We are considering relocation there and would appreciate any feedback on the following, crime, schooling and the general way of life there.

We are looking at the Nanoose area, as it is quiet but not to far away from Nanaimo, does anyone live there?

Thanks for your help.

Are you really expecting constructive help considering your other posts?

Ok Ok I am the author of my own misfortune...

Sorry if I have offended anyone, its not in my nature.

A quote, free kebab for the person who guesses who wrote it.

"Better to be silent and remain a fool than to speak and remove all doubt"

My money is on the Aviator..

If the cap fits!

Not had so much entertainment on this site in a long time. Every now and then a complete pillock comes along to liven things up, and in so few posts!

Re: Vancouver Island
 

All in the interest of time and economy Aviator...Glad to have perked things up...

Ps Read RM, I think you are on the money with that

Re: Vancouver Island
 

Hi, I live in Nanaimo & haven't read through your other posts!! :rofl:

I would imagine the most crime in Nanoose would come from bored kids or lunatic golfers on Fairwinds flinging their balls around. If you have high school age kids they would have to travel a bit to get to school as there's only an Elementary there.
www.sd69.bc.ca is the school district website & Ballenas would probably be the high school although I worked in a high school in the north end of Nanaimo this year & we had some students from Nanoose.

Nobody said that, not least because it doesn't make sense the way you've misquoted it. What Abraham Lincoln is purported to have said is "Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak out and remove all doubt" - although it doesn't appear in any of his speeches or written papers. It's also been attributed to Mark Twain, Samuel Johnson, Socrates and Confucious, among others. The origin probably owes something to Proverbs 17:28 "Even a fool, when he holdeth his peace, is counted wise: and he that shutteth his lips is esteemed a man of understanding."

Extra chili sauce on my kebab please.

On it's way>>>

Re: Vancouver Island
 

Bloody hell OP you seem to spread yourself around alot. Ithink you've created more threads than me and that's saying something. You can find out most of this simple stuff for yourself on Wiki or maybe even google.

Re: Vancouver Island
 

I doubt that....:rofl::rofl::rofl:



I'll get my coat :p

Re: Vancouver Island
 

Why do you need a Taxi your on an Internet forum? :confused: You've lost me a little.

Re: Vancouver Island
 

I was hoping it was a stimulator:p ..oopsy, I mean simulator:o:rofl:

Re: Vancouver Island
 

Cassie, whats the point of a forum if you can just goggelwogal it...that would take the steam out of the job..

Re: Vancouver Island
 

Its the real deal.. wings and everything. It does have a stick shaker though, this activates near the stall along with an audible warning "Pull Up-Pull Up".
Open to interpretation I know...

Re: Vancouver Island
 

4 books for the price of 3..........wow I thought, thats a bargain, perhaps I should pick up 'How not to come across as an moron when posting on forums" and send a copy to Tony the Pilot?

Re: Vancouver Island
 

Stop making your thread drift, you don't like that remember?

Re: Vancouver Island
 

Sorry just rambling!

Re: Vancouver Island
 

Sorry! I will not chicken pot again.. promise

Re: Vancouver Island
 

Because we all need to cover the "basics" before we type questions. Everyone on this forum everyone has asked a silly simple question we could have found on the Wiki from time to time.

Just try looking at it, before you post yet another thread.

Re: Vancouver Island
 

So enlighten us, what is it? If you get near the stall and pull up you are in deep shit and getting deeper.

Re: Vancouver Island
 

I'm starting to think it's the paper folded type.

Re: Vancouver Island
 

If you really want to know, and think this will contribute I to the forum I will tell you. However, I would not like to be accused of drifting.

Re: Vancouver Island
 

It happens.....it's normal for threads to drift....then they get closed:(

Re: Vancouver Island
 

Go on drift!

Re: Vancouver Island
 

Has he landed? I don't want him drifting with us on board!:(

Re: Vancouver Island
 

Which part of my 15 years in aviation do you want me to start with...18 through to 41 this will include a selection of non stick shaking a/c and a selection complete with the bells and whistles, and the odd fire axe.

Re: Vancouver Island
 

I like that..quite funny

Re: Vancouver Island
 

Thank you, I do try.:D

Or is that, I'm very trying...?? I can never remember.;)


Answers on a postcard please...:rolleyes:

Re: Vancouver Island
 

I for one am still waiting to be enlightened ! Please do tell us.

Re: Vancouver Island
 

Make me two;)

Re: Vancouver Island
 

What do you need to know...and will it make a snausage of difference to this thread!

Re: Vancouver Island
 

The answer to Aviator's question about stall warnings. Post #24 I believe.

Re: Vancouver Island
 

So sorry "terrain terrain", it's been a long day.

Re: Vancouver Island
 

Stick pusher doesn't have the same ring, shaker sounded better for the post..

Re: Vancouver Island
 

It could well make a difference to how you are regarded around this forum. Right now I would say that if the negative reputation feature was enabled, you would be loosing a lot of points...

Re: Vancouver Island
 

A pusher is always better than a shaker, IMO:p
