Poor indense. Once again, we see that... Sarcasm + The Internets = Trouble.

Let 'em slide, adma - too easy.

I've heard it said many times that generally held Argentine beliefs re their self-perceived 'European-ness' and their ostensive differences from their continental neighbours (which I understand to be seen as significantly greater than a mere "tad") are overt and oft-stated. I don't think this...

"Greg Sorbara says the province would be happy to help cities like Toronto that are struggling with budget deficits or considering hefty tax hikes to balance their books. He says the province can send in experts to take a look at the books of strapped municipalities, or agencies like the Toronto...

Howard Beale: "I don't have to tell you things are bad. ... We know the air is unfit to breathe and our food is unfit to eat, and we sit watching our TV's while some local newscaster tells us that today we had fifteen homicides and sixty-three violent crimes, as if that's the way it's...

^ Interesting interview - thanks for the link.

^ LOL. *Very* funny.

unimaginative2 speaks The Truth, penetratingly and concisely. transit 'geeks': Read this post again. Now... read it AGAIN. Know this to be true, and unite with us 'Straphangers' in demanding basic and ludicrously overdue 'world city' transit for this town.

lordmandeep rocks - I want more lordmandeep! Pep'rJack is having one of those moments when the entire globe seems even more uproariously mad than what is now casually accepted as 'the usual'. He is drunk and getting drunker, 'cause he no longer knows what else to do. Absurdities upon...

Of course. I invite anyone reading to provide an example of a single person who *isn't* bothered by the lack of speed on this route, or on any other. This is part of what I meant when I posted earlier that those who are cooking up this plan, and those who support it, seem to exist in an...

It's inconsistent at all locations. I've had really very good fish & chips here, and also surprisingly bad. Don't know if it's a supplier issue or what - I suspect inadequate training of the cooking staff may be the culprit. Always a crapshoot. Probably the best fish & chips I've ever eaten...

As is now delightfully de rigueur, apparently, ample rendertail to be scoped above. Dig the severe pantyline on Lil' Miss Blue-Purse in "Lobby, Looking West". The building looks OK, too.

Just to clarify: I can't say exactly what Bogtrotter meant with that statement, but I didn't take it at all to mean that architecture can't be art, or that architects are never artists, or anything like that. Gehry, Calatrava and others are pretty clearly artists first and architects second, if...

Great news for Montreal. The title of this article seems somewhat misleading, though: This is not explained - there is no "how" presented in the article, only a pronouncement that this is the case. It seems generally commonsensical that higher rates of education would lead to lower...

Completely agree. LOL. Yikes. Delightful solarium/garden in the back - nice brunch spot. I'm gonna give that a try. Chinese food in general remains something of a mystery to me. For many years now I've been searching for its oft-promised wonders in several promising places (HK...

Dear Fiendish (any chance of that proposed forum section materializing...?), Could you briefly point out some examples of this? The Nazis' use of Christian imagery and lore is clear, but the pagan elements have always been a bit unclear to me - vague references to a sort of pre-Christian...

Good lord... just unreal. You are genuinely pathological wrt this shit. Adjust meds.
