Hey Terry,

Please accept my apologies.

It's (was) a cut/paste of the script from a popular beer commercial meant to poke fun at Canadian culture.

(It's now affectionately called "The Molson Canadian rant".)

No offense was intended.

P.S. OK . . . I'll admit Crosby got lucky!

(What with Ryan Miller acting like a brick wall et al. . . )

I thought it was rather funny myself.

Sometimes I can be a little too sensitive. No offense taken at all Mark. BTW - my last name is also Crosby. No relation to the hockey player....at least that I'm aware of! Wonder if I can hit him up for a "loan"????

Might be worth looking up the ol' genealogy tree . . .

He's is the highest paid player for Pittsburgh . . .

USD$9million / year . . . (not including the Reebok deal)

I've been to a few functions where he was speaking (fund raisers /etc.)

He is an exceptional person. Really down to earth type guy.

If his home town / province is any indication of the type of person he is . . .

& if you are family . . . he'd help you out. There's no question about that.

That's the way people are from Atlantic Canada.

It's almost creepy how friendly everyone is over there . . .

So is Swindon that bad that you differentiate between 'near' and 'in' ?

Yes. In Swindon, computers change hands too quickly for any serious development to take place.

Sounds like Johannesburg. I'd probably feel right at home there.

Of course, you have all the right weapons. Now wait a minute - GilaMonster is almost an anagram of Gangsta :ermm:

No, Swindon's barely a would-be apprentice to Jo'burg's top league of bad places!

I can still go there shopping alone, though there's far nicer places since I've moved further away across Wiltshire

Any navigation of the Swindon magic roundabout is complex and random - I think it's linked to DBCC_TIMEWARP 😀
