Re: Your internet 'habits' ?
lol nothing wrong with that if they are over 12 ( ish) theres quite a few kids play - ( can just be annoying when they are all being silly in chat channels) most are usually in their teens but there are one or two younger ones - my lad is 11 and he plays ( with supervision) but i have to help him as it gets a bit complicated at times for little ones lol theres also alot of ' grown ups' play it too lol - Just need to be careful as there are the chat channels and always have the same risks as any 'chat' network.
Many think its a kiddy game but it really isnt - it's quite strategic especially at end game level - dont usually find many kids ( lower teens) at this level - Im in a guild that has about 85 members and not one is under 18 with the majority being over 25
oh help i really am a geek

Re: Your internet 'habits' ?
The quality of the Intl news over here (at least on my cable TV) is dreadful, all I ever hear about is US news & local BC news.
At least with ITN, Channel 4, Sky & BBC I was *guaranteed* at least 5 mins of Intl news each time I watched it.
Why can't they ditch the poxy weather channel and replace it with a decent 24x7 news channel?

Just my opinion.

Re: Your internet 'habits' ?
I have to totally disagree with you there, based on my recent stay in the UK, and being a "newsaholic". I think our CBC and CTV news is on a par with BBC/ITV, plus we have CBC Newsworld, 24 hour news, and the CTV has a similar channel as well. Global National every night is superior to the stuff on British TV.
Just my opinion.

One big news story on global this morning was about the mail not getting delivered to one community, because of an unruly dog.
A story last year was run about a garden gnome being stollen.
I really want to be more educated than this while watching the news. I stick with BBC on line.

Re: Your internet 'habits' ?
quite unbelievable really, but we are in the canadian bubble i suppose. watch cnn for a bit, it brings reality sharply into focus from just over the border.

I agree the way the news is delivered in Canada is not the same.
One big news story on global this morning was about the mail not getting delivered to one community, because of an unruly dog.
A story last year was run about a garden gnome being stollen.
