We stayed at the Amsterdam Inn on Bishop's Drive when we visited in 2007.

Re: UK student loan payment

Of course, they can only revert you to a £200 per month enforced payment plan if they have a bank account from which to take it! Not suggesting anybody ignores their debt, but they do not add £200...

Re: Fredericton - North or South ?

I've heard mixed things about this issue, though a lot of people do suggest Mcleod Hill struggles with water. That being said, it can't be all that bad given the many houses thhat have been built up...

Re: Fredericton - North or South ?

Re: Fredericton - North or South ?

Re: Nice Places to Live Outside Fredericton

Having bought a house in the city after looking all over the place I would recommend Douglas, some of Islandview/Silverwood, and possibly areas of Mactaquac and further along the 105 up around Tripp...

Re: Fredericton loses direct flight to London

Losing this flight is a pain, and getting the bus to Halifax isn't a particularly enticing alternative! It can take 7 hours one way on the bus, what with stops/pick-ups etc.

No easy answer to this...

Re: reckless driving misdemeanor and marrying Canadian

Thanks. Would these be 'deemed rehabilitated' due to time passing? If not, what would I need to do?

Just purchased a 32" LG LCD HDTV and the picture quality with normal Rogers is very average, worse than on a good CRT. We are collecting our HD box tomorrow, so hopefully this will improve things...

Re: CAN ANYBDY ON THIS FORUM SPELL?!

I retire, ungracefully, from the field of battle. I am switching off my alerts and leaving this for you lot to squabble over.

I have better things to do with my time.

I would quite like to alienate a fair segment of the people on here whose opinions hold no value for me at all.

Re: CAN ANYBODY ON THIS FORUM SPELL?!

Given that I am a poet the above has no bearing at all on my creative writing. Do you think I write papers like that?

Anybody know what the key drivers between GBP and CAD are?

I thought interest rates in the UK were likely to be cut in the near future?

Re: CAN ANYBDY ON THIS FORUM SPELL?!

You are probably right, although I was thinking more of the Creative Writing and English course which is widely perceived as being in top 2 or 3 in the country.

Regardless, I like it!
