There, there, Mike...(pat-pat)...it's just a game. Cheer up! Next year, you can move to a city with a really good team, okay?

Hello

Thought I'd pop in and say hello

 

I wasn't exactly away, just not logging in and being active. I couldn't do without my dose of JC fanfic

So are you a Leafs fan then Mike? I used to be crazy about hockey and stay up and watch the games, but they are not transmitted here anymore so I've completely lost touch.

 

That's sad to hear Mike. Can understand it though. We did the pilgrimage to the old Maple Leaf Gardens only to watch the Leafs get beaten 3:0. Still, it was interesting to see how quiet the crowd is - was like being at church. I'm used to hearing people yelling, whistling and insulting the opposition and officials

 

Definitely something to put on our list of things to do when we visit Toronto, plus the obligatory visit to Wayne Gretzy's restaurant - really nice perogies

I'd like to go see more of Canada so I'm gonna attempt to save up and visit several places - maybe drag the husband around so he can carry all the shopping and luggage

 

Welcome, go-away!

No, wait...I don't mean go away, I just wanted to tell our new visitor go-away, welcome.

No! I mean, not that I'm telling our new visitor to go away, but that...

Ah, I give up.

Hmm, almost makes me feel like posting on the Welcome board

I think I'm gonna like Lynora when I finally meet her lol

 

So far, quite a few of us are planning to save up for Celebration III. We haven't discussed going over the border into Canada yet, but I'll throw it in sometime.

I'm so glad it's spring I woke up to a bird singing this morning. First thought that entered my head was "It won't last long, somebody's cat will have it"

 

Ok, I'm totally ignorant, but whereabouts in Canada is Victoria?

No flowers yet But it's nearly May. When do they start appearing?

 

I'm in the office learning about how things are done. I've been wanting a change for some time now and my agent is retiring next year so I'm gonna be taking over from him. It's strange being in an office environment. I don't like that side of it to be honest - it's stressful even when there is little work.

 

Finally managed to crawl in the door

Are you still feeling tired? Sometimes days can be like that.

I think people on here come out when I've gone to bed

 

Some of us actually do participate in casual or mundane conversations between only a few people, except we generally do that though MSN/Instant Messenger. You'll find our locals generally only come into the Bar and Grill when there's interesting discussion or merriment happening in here that anyone can take part in.

It's not that we're not around, it's just that I don't think anyone wants to interrupt what appears to have evolved into a private conversation over the last page.

Ah, Canadian politeness

I can't always use MSN, etc at work which is a pain

I know what you mean though about two people in a thread. Hmm, the more the merrier definitely applies. I like to chat to several people at once in a thread - I never used to bother with social threads until I joined up here.

 

*wanders in and sits down at the bar*
well.....nothing like a nice beverage after work.....so how does a guy get a drink in this place?????
