Listen fella., I contribute plenty. Over here. Do have any idea how many Canadians have gone on holiday to Scotland after sitting and having a session with BR 1314? Loads.

duncan II Posted January 7, 2019 Share Posted January 7, 2019 35 minutes ago, Scotty CTA said: It's not derogatory... In practice, "separatist" and "sovereignist" are terms used to describe individuals wanting the province of Quebec to separate from Canada to become a country of its own. If you want to 'separate' then you're a 'separatist'. (No point in making an issue when there isn't one.) Fair enough. It's used as a derogatory name here but appreciate you know terminology better there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Ramy 1314 Posted January 8, 2019 Author Share Posted January 8, 2019 Sooooooooo. Elgin St in Ottawa is to be closed for an entire year as the Watermain and sewer pipe has to be replaced, it's 100 years old. Closure started yesterday. There were multiple signage and closure details, detours, and what not. All were in French and English but 1. Guess what? People calling in and complaining that "1" fucking sign was not in English and French. One other sign had an "I" before "e" and was also complained about. Are you kidding me? This is the shit that does my head in. Not "1" bilingual sign in Gatineau, that's ok though, but "1" sign on Elgin St is not bilingual, and the shit hits the fan. Unbelievable.....

I don't know about you but I've got very little influence over signage in North America. Think you misunderstood what I meant by posting this. I was just merely pointing out how pathetic some people can be. Pointing out how touchy the French can be over one little mistake. Nobody can fix this problem mate, not the TAMB, nobody. It's the government of Canada spoiling the province of Quebec for decades that whatever they want they get, no matter how big or small.. Imagine calling your council because of a spelling mistake on 1 road sign when the entire rest of the city is bilingual. Anyhoo. Have a lovely day Tambers,🙂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Start with Monday (which is really 'Moon Day'). The French say 'Lune' (for moon) as in 'lunar' or 'lunatic'. loon-dee (Lundi) is Monday. OK... You do the next one...

I could dedicate a 10 page thread to her list of complaints, they are so ridiculous it is actually funny. But she is my friend as well a colleague and is a kind person when she isnt spending her time moaning . 9 hours ago, Orraloon said: It's maybe got more to do with how much she values her kit kat?

She eventually got the company that maintains the machine. They emailed her today and told her to go down to the 5th floor of the building we are in where they have a cafe , and they would replace the kitkat. We are on the 7th floor 🙄 She spent all that time on a kitkat that cost 85p but has bought sofas on 3 different occasions from those wee magazines you get in the junk mail , and has had to give them all away free after a few weeks as they weren't comfortable and no-one would buy them.
