Re: Anything negative to say about Nova Scotia

Re: Anything negative to say about Nova Scotia

As it goes, he predates even me.

Rack of lamb in the oven as I type, rest of lamb in freezer, save the head which is in the dog. (The dog seemed confused by it so, for a moment, I thought it...

Re: Anything negative to say about Nova Scotia

Let me go all out then. I enjoyed the bar scene in Halifax, being partial to squiddly-diddly music, and I found the locals to be friendly, albeit in a "please don't follow me home" kind of way.

Re: Anything negative to say about Nova Scotia

Hamilton Ontario is highly industrialized. Sudbury was highly industrialized but the industry left giving it the air of a post-Thatcher mining town (or, for you, a post-Beecham railway town). In this...

Re: Anything negative to say about Nova Scotia

They're mostly sold by Cypriots in London aren't they? There's a shwarma place by our office in Toronto run by Turkish Cypriots, alas the product is unimpressive, so they might as well be Germans.

Re: Anything negative to say about Nova Scotia

Oh yes, I think that's fair. I'm only saying it offers more cultural diversity than NS; Black Americans, Arab Americans, White Americans.

Re: Anything negative to say about Nova Scotia

I assume you mean that the customers looked a bit Asiany rather than that they were certainly Vietnamese, nonetheless I don't doubt that there's a Vietnamese restaurant in Halifax. There's rather a...

Re: Anything negative to say about Nova Scotia

Where in Moncton would you get raclet cheese, truffle oil, andouille sausage, grits, durains? I suggest that you can't get all of them and that it's inevitable that, if you live in a smaller place,...

Re: Anything negative to say about Nova Scotia

The sushi is not literal but illustrative, falafels or roti would have served as well. The disadvantage of living in a place with a small population is that there's little ethnic diversity and so...

Re: Anything negative to say about Nova Scotia

I looked at moving out of London to the north but thought, **** it, if I'm wandering off into oblivion I might as well go to Canada. And I did.

Re: Anything negative to say about Nova Scotia

The thread header asks that we dump on NS, I think I've actually been quite kind to the place, it's desolate,...

Re: Anything negative to say about Nova Scotia

I hesitate to say you have your head up your arse, but... Firstly, it must have been cold. Secondly, it's a long way to fetch sushi. Thirdly, the nearest art gallery or opera house is in another...

Re: Anything negative to say about Nova Scotia

They do here too but, in keeping with most of rural Canada, they do alarming quantities of drugs. Weed, of course, but I don't count that. Meth and, down east, oxycontin are the big worries.
