Re: Random stuff - the anything else thread

No, but I ate in Vancouver last weekend and am confident that the Chinese cafe is not the best place to eat in Vancouver, never mind all of Canada.

It used to be astonishing to learn that people lived beyond the North Circular, Now it's astonishing to learn how they lived

Re: Random stuff - the anything else thread

I did enjoy the parties during the era of living with the Young American. Food, adverts, half time show. I don't think anyone even knew which teams were playing but that's not the point. Note that...

Re: Random stuff - the anything else thread

I don't find it interesting, I find it to be Trump recycled, and I don't like nationalists. Usually I respect the milk truck drivers because they do have a "must get there" kind of job but today the...

Re: Random stuff - the anything else thread

Specifically the truck protest. There will be other far right demos and the related disintegration of the Conservative party will be problem for years to come, but these vehicles have been moved.

Re: Random stuff - the anything else thread

Replace "not true" with "not as simple as all that", then, yes, I know, but, IMO, the vaccine mandates are a sideshow to the protest which is really a generalized wail against the federal government...

Re: Random stuff - the anything else thread

That is very wide of the mark. Firstly, it's not the Canadian government that passes the mandates. In the case of the truck driving related mandates it's the US government and the Provincial...

Re: Random stuff - the anything else thread

Re: Random stuff - the anything else thread

I installed the dishwasher when we renovated the kitchen and ran it for a test. Since then it's sat unused, there in case of wanting to sell the house.

Re: Random stuff - the anything else thread

There's no shame in that, we don't all have a maid and, in this era of social distancing, a trip to the laundry to have them ironed is, arguably, not essential.

75 at lots of petrol stations here so probably 71 or so at Costco. I'd go everywhere in the Jag, if I was going anywhere.

Re: Random stuff - the anything else thread

Years ago I had a horse called Austin, because he ate the Austin-Healey money. Right now I have a XJ12 in the barn, I think it looks great but, alas, no one else does. "A vehicle of its time",...

Re: Random stuff - the anything else thread

A 959 is a rare car. They don't meet the US standards for road use but Bill Gates wanted to import one so the US changed the rules to make an exception for it. That's real car money, enough to bribe...
