If I hadn't stood you up, the pair of you would likely be bed-ridden by now. I was, and still am, suffering from a horrible virus. I slept for 14 hours after phoning dbd.

If only.

Hope you're more functional now.

Up to a point. The worst appears to be over, although the stuff coming out of my lungs is quite disgusting. I haven't been this sick in many years.

I'm actually glad that Souvette isn't here.

I have been on f***ing fire lately with the roll up to wins. I haven't paid for a coffee in almost a week. I am blessed with an amazing instinct to pick out winners. I am damned good.

I, on the other hand, am always the first to put myself down!
Maybe it's just my own insecurities making them seem so . . . .bolshy!

I don't understand how you can tell they are "Canadians". Is it because they speak with a Canadian accent?

My children were youngsters when we came here forty years ago. They are married now and have five children between them. You would never know that they are British unless they told you.

Not in the Maritimes. It may even be mandatory.

There is no English accent, that's how English words sound when they're pronounced correctly.
