Re: Master Chef Canada?

As someone who finds cooking to be very dull, I was surprised when I couldn't stop watching it. Watching a bunch of cooks get creative in a cut-throat environment...It's just very addictive...

Re: Blizzard

Moncton is really getting a lot of 'gifts from the sky' this year. I see many houses with snow nearing the height of their roofs. That unwanted white crap blocks my view when I have to turn on main...

Re: Some quirky history for where you live

Interesting, I was not aware of Moncton's origins. Funny piece of info that it was the product of a misspelling-great foreshadowing for what would eventually become the population's general spelling...

Re: For Zoe Bell

In episode four, the Force seemed to be merely a power source that few individuals had access to-we were given instances of 'force intuition' and Jedi mind tricks. Despite Obi-Wan's words about the...

Re: For Zoe Bell

Well I felt the first movie was a bit cartoony what with simplistic tropes like 'peasant boy rescues the princess', and as an atheist, I was not a fan of the little glimpses of the Force we did...

Re: How many times would you call?

I wouldn't leave further voicemails as you don't want to give the impression of being 'desperate'. One voicemail only would have been ideal I think. I would still call once or twice a week to try to...

Lucky you...it really must have been something to witness the start of the Star Wars phenomenon. I only got to see Revenge of the Sith in the theatres(was introduced to the series in 2004), and being...

Re: For Zoe Bell

My worst Star Wars fears have been realized. Having just seen this trailer, I cannot see how this new trilogy will ever be something more than a rehash of the originals with a few new characters to...

Re: coming to Canada, and the future of our children

Oh so it's now considered 'prejudiced' to debunk the myth of Canadians being less knowledgeable than Europeans?(You know, the one real prejudice expressed in this thread?) Aren't you a funny one...

My, what a productive post, posting your disagreement of my opinions without bothering to explain why.



My bad, looking back at my post I can see more than a few typos. Should not post this...

You are either trolling or you have the displeasure of being surrounded by World's Biggest Pea-brains. Who have you actually met that cannot locate Europe on a map?!

Re: How much do you spend?

Well I am not sure pills would satisfy me in the taste department, but it wouldn't be a bad idea to use this option as an energy booster in slow days. I would be hesitant to turn to pills on a...

Yeah, I really need to start shopping for another coffee maker. Mine is designed for prepackaged coffee pods only, and as far as I am aware, SecondCup only offers a selection of beans. Should give...

Re: How often to change oil in a car?

My current car needs oil change every 14000km, so once a year. My previous vehicle was similar in size, but needed oil change every 5000km. Without being qualified in any way to assess such things, I...

Re: How much do you spend?

I wouldn't think so as it's only a coffee shop, not a restaurant(although they do sell a variety of salads and sandwiches).

It probably would improve my long term health(and err, polish my bank account) to completely drop coffee, but as an easily addicted person, I am afraid I will turn to nastier...

Re: How much do you spend?

Probably not, I don't have the required discipline to cut back on caffeine. All my attempts to substitute SC coffee for tea(70$ a year of David's Tea if drinking one cup per day) have failed. I...

Interesting mentions. I've skimmed their profiles on imdb, and I have to say that Cronenberg appears to have created juicy material that could caress my inner-Halloween, and Maddin seems quite...
