Re: London Riots

It's only a email address though afterall. Now what would be really dumb would be a link on every one of your forum posts to a blog profile highlighting your real name, DOB, Place of birth, parents...

Re: Want to immigrate to Vancouver, am i too late!!!

Swap Van Island for Edmonton? :rofl: That aside, the OP is also hoping to be mortgage free and although there are properties (3 bed houses) available for $260,000ish, you really wouldn't want to live...

Re: Went back to the UK for 3 weeks and.......

It's interesting how emigration affects the relationships and dynamics within the extended family.

For example, the main reason we came to Canada was to get a really nice big house, but in doing...

Re: Question re:Meet Ups/Meet and Greet!

In light of that statement, you do see the irony in fact that you're frequenting a British Expats chat forum don't you? FFS.

Re: Cost of living....which is cheaper UK or Canada?

Good point. Once you take Euro Disney out of the equation, there is very little of any geographical or cultural interest in either of these countries.

All things considered, I have a feeling...

Re: "We're doing it for the children..."

What a horrible thought. I suppose the best one can hope for is that the little dears grow up with no sporting ability what so ever and instead sit quietly in the basement playing on their Xbox until...

Re: Loons

Have you also noticed all the Black, Asian and Gay people? You may want to start a thread on the subject? You could title it "N*****s, P*****s and Qu***s. You know, just for consistency.

Re: HELP!

You're welcome.

Now, on the rugby front I'm a little concerned. If I'm not mistaken Mike Tindall is a center for England, and although his athletic build and rugged charm won over a royal bride, I...

"In demand" professions - the reason Canada has the most highly qualified taxi drivers in the world. :rofl:

Re: "We're doing it for the children..."

That's a fairly emphatic endorsement in favor of Sherwood Park. What in particular led you to the conclusion that your kids were ill-equipped to hack it back in England?

Re: "We're doing it for the children..."

Really? Just going by posts read on here that seldom seems to be the case. Plus, "stuff" for kids to do out here invariably appears to involve the outlay of large wads of dosh.

Re: Lazy Buggers

Don't really get that here. In fact on several occasions I've had street-guys offer to take my trolly back to the dock/bay to get the $. Win/win.

And yes, in general the super-markets here are...

Re: BC's Teacher Federation and school strikes

People get into such a tizz over teachers. Lets be honest here. For the most part teachers provide a couple of years of cheap daycare for kids while parents crack on and earn a living. If the kids...

Try getting a GP in Edmonton. The reason they're in short supply is because no one's hiring.

Re: Edmonton’s 29th homicide

Credit where it's due. Edmonton's now gone over a week without adding to it's grim tally. Though not through want of trying. The teenage victims of a double South-side drive-by shooting survived.

You come over here soliciting votes and don't even include the plucky Canadian team in your poll? Charming. :frown:
