Depends where you are. We can get all manner of curry here because there are huge Indian and British-Indian populations as well as Jamaicans and Thais. Last night I took the train to Brampton (a suburb of Toronto) and was the only white man in the packed carriage; everyone else looked as if he or she could have come from a curry eating nation.

We are, however, a bit short on Mancunian transexuals.

Now there is an oxymoron....can of real english beer....believe me guys like Dukie usually drink some bland germanic euro lager in copious quantities or some underbrewed english lager. I have met these kind of guys in England many times (I believe you may be the son in law of my uncles 3rd wife (long story) and they almost always drink crap lager and never true 'english' beer (cask conditioned ale).

Dukie...if you are a troll you are doing a great job...if not, you need to learn how to spell, use grammar and get back to a dead end job back in England where you will be happiest.

The show is called Shameless and it is the Royle Family (strong M/CR area surname....I have relatives with that surname in M/CR). Do you think that the rich footballers living near M/CR may be somehow related to the fact that MUFC are one of the top teams in the world.

Is there any other way your father could earn money other than just collecting enought to buy a few pints and a curry......

Don't let the door hit you on the way out at a Canadian airport.

Attention-seeking trolls


This class of trolls seeks to obtain as many responses as possible and to absorb a disproportionate amount of the collective attention span.

Examples of behaviour:

- Advertising another forum, especially a rival or a hated forum.

- Claiming to be someone they cannot possibly be (no one is that idiotic)

- Messages containing an obvious flaw or error

- Asking for help with an implausable task or problem

- Intentionally naive questions:

- Messages containing a self referential appeals to status.

- Intentionally posting an outrageous argument, deliberately constructed around a fundamental but obfuscated flaw or error. Often the poster will become defensive when the argument is refuted, but may instead continue the thread through the use of further flawed arguments; this is referred to as "feeding" the troll.

- A subclass of the above is the flawed proof of an important unsolved mathematical problem or impossibility (e.g. 1 = 2); however, these may not always be troll-posts, and are sometimes, at least, mathematically interesting.

- Politically contentious messages: "I think George W. Bush is the best/worst President ever."

- Posting politically sensitive images in inappropriate places.

- Pretending to be innocent, after a flamewar ensues.

- Off-topic complaints about personal life, or threats of suicide: sometimes, this is the "cry for help" troll.

- Plural or paranoid answers to personal opinions expressed by individuals: "I don't believe that all of you really believe that, you are teaming against me."

- Any combination of the above: For example, a troll will combine inflammatory statements with poor grammar and AIM-speak (which is also known as "netspeak" or "chatspeak"). "lmfao u are so weak minded and predictablei thought i wan iggied i play ya like a card"


Dukie unforunately fits the Definition of "attention seeking troll", the worst I have seen on this site in many years.

Can a moderator please step in and stop this madness. HE has hi-jacked a perfectly logical and potentionally helpful threaded started by a New person to the expat site. If this thread has not scared them off and they have not written off this site as a waste of time i would be shocked. We as people and Expats as a site are better than this.

Spamming the thread with dreary cut and pastes is hardly helpful.

ok but ......... the title of the thread is:
Honest advice from those returning from Canada

And as bad as his grammar and language certainly was, he was being very honest about his own opinions of Canada and can't wait to get out.

Can't help thinking that you might have spoilt a bit of fun reading for me tonight - lol.

Unfortunately as moderators we can not read every post made on this forum, we just don't have the time. However if a member ever comes across an inappropriate post or one that does not adhere to the site rules they are encouraged to click the "report" button (that is along the bottom of every post) so it can be brought to the attention of a moderator and then we can take a look.

Thanks.

You could get them on the Island ............seriously not nice and i dont mean Mancunian transexuals

Ruby Murray

Ah, fair do's.....Manc terms for my old man could mean either Dad or OH I suppose. You're mostly likely right then

Dukie

id like to make a complaint. a lot of peeps swearing at me and personaly insulting me because i posted on this thread why i didnt like canada and wanted to retrn to manchester. ive got nothing but abuse from most people. even that chuttny told me to piss off. weres the tolerance here then. if you dont like what someones says after answering a qestion you abuse them and want to stop then talking with threats. how fair you all are. i might slam canadinas for being boring, ignorant and backwards but they at least dont shout abuse at me or make threts when i tell them i want to go back to manchester.

Sue
