  1. I wouldn't suggest spending billions of pounds on snowplows and salting trucks, but it's winter and the southeastern UK gets snow and freezing moments every year. I would've expected some measures to prevent a few centimetres of snow from shutting down a metro system, effectively preventing shutting down most of the city itself. That's where you could learn at least from other European countries that don't see as much snow as Canada. It's also basic economics to prevent a city from losing millions of pounds per day of productivity into the economy. So I can't imagine it being so costy to make the signals and railway tracks to be more resistant to temperatures down to at least -10C. Skipping a school day might not be too costy, but it means giving the teachers and workers a day of salaries for nothing. It is also not expensive to have a set of snowchains to keep in your car's trunk in case it gets too slippery for the tires. Snow tires are a plus as well though you wouldn't need it more than a few times per season. I know it's unusual for you Londoners this year... But this time I am talking about hearing the same thing every year on the BBC website. Now don't you think it's a little silly to let a few centimetres of snow cause such chaos? Unless BBC is overhyping everything every year. Of course, enjoy the snow while you have it anyway. O,o I wear my converse every day regardless of the weather. Just avoid the puddles and put in two socks if you think you'll be walking for quite a while.
  2. Here in Montreal, only snow from a nuclear winter from nuke bombings will justify giving students a snow day. I never had a snow day in this country. Hence I went to school whatever Mumma Nature throws at me... Be it -25C with -40C wind chill... Be it a blizzard with blowing snow... Be it an ice storm... Be it a 30cm snowstorm... Been there... Survived those... You Brits could learn a lot from the Canadians. We still go to work, school, shopping, eating out, movies during snowstorms worse than what London just had. And the busses and metro will work almost perfectly. As I said... A snowstorm may cripple the city to some degree due to the traffic slowing down, but it doesn't completely shut it down. A 5 mins bus delay doesn't bother me. Plus, we're very smart enough to put the metro trains completely underground because the railway tracks will be nothing but frozen for five months a year. When I found out on the news about what happened in London. I couldn't help not laughing that a few centimetres would shut the whole freaking city down. A Brit showed me this yesterday. So true.
  3. Yellow and brown... Ew.
  4. 2008 Goodies: I travalled so much... I went to New Brunswick-Nova Scotia-Prince Edward Island. So awesome. Also went to Gasp

    Milk

    I watched Milk as soon as it came out and managed to find a cinema out of a few dozens in the city that presents it. Oh. My. God. I learnt a lot about the beginning the gay movement in the USA and the world starting with Milk. It's a little surprising that many of the gay movements have their roots in the USA...
  6. hehe I knew its existence for almost a year. But I wasn't going to pay $35 for the French version. It's hard to find gay books in English - not that I am complaining, but I'm not going to spend $35 for a 200-300 page book. So I ordered it online for $11 from Barnes and Noble and had it shipped to Canada. Problem solved. I just started reading it yesterday. Slowly. I usually read in the metro to kill time. I always do that.
  7. Les Feux de Mon Coeur is quite feu-y.

  9. according to me, "tit" is gender neutral. it doesn't have to be big, round, and plump. it can be flat and... well, i better stop or i'll get turned on picturing chests again.
  10. Nice tit.
  11. Oh damn... That was a very good comeback.
  12. Which should includes the Brazilian one.
  13. I push to the point of fustrating the hell out of him to get him to ask me out first. I could smell hints miles away and I take an advantage of it.
  14. Never said you straighten your hair. I tried a couple times and stopped after burning my fingers.
  15. If you want to learn some body parts in French, all you have to do is read this. There are some that your tutor would never teach you.
  16. I got this photo from a friend. haha To see it bigger... It's pretty much self-explainatory.
  17. It's very cruel to show us the lower half of you (the photo of you in boardies). Erm... un torso d
  18. I am mightly pleased to see the goddess in flesh and skin. I believe she rarely does that.
  19. Yeah, my middle finger.
  20. Oh god do you want me to expose my tits to the whole water park and most especially to your camera? I suppose summer should do. Assuming I didn't get a job out of the city.
  21. It was fun watching kicking the Swedes' ass once again.
  22. Yeah, I know winter is harder, but it doesn't have to be the only meet in our lifetime. ^^ Now we have four-five. What date should we pick? Perhaps when the Habs face against one of the Canadian teams such as the Senators or ther Leafs? And which pub/bar would you recommend? Some place with a good big TV and beer will just do for me. ^^
  23. So... Possible guests: Me, Mattie, and Cynical Romantic. Still a good crowd for me to enjoy the Habs game at a pub/bar. I'll trust Cynical to pick a bar since she seems to know the good ones to watch hockey. But yeah, I know it's funny to do so in the middle of winter, but I figure we might have a good number in the city with a few living not too far in Ontario. If it goes nicely (or not), we'll still try the summer as well when we won't have to worry about the damn infamous Canadian winter (Vancouver excluded). I'll go PM Sasha and Moonwolf.
