Today’s Cons are where the ’90s era Libs used to be.

Guidance counsellors have a lot to answer for in pushing credentialism. My high school years were ‘80-85 in Ontario. Those five years were designed to produce a university entrant. If you had designs on a community college, you might get a look-in. If you were thinking vocational or trades...

Brick Tamland and Michael Scott on the same page discussing NCDs. Now that’s just weird….

Followed by a slug fest at the table. May as well go all-in like the Gallaghers.

I was refrigeration instructor at CFFSE from '94-'96 and for about 12 months, we had more staff than students. The death knell for the stoker branch was obvious to the most junior stoker in '95 when it was apparent that not only were we losing some of our career restricted PO2s who would...

“Soldiers” heh. I remember cringing whilst watching the members of the naval boarding party being laboriously winched down to the Katie’s deck one by one. Compare that to Huron’s boarding team being taught fast roping by RMs out of Gibraltar while transiting to the Gulf in ‘91. Although they...

That would have been the three unmodified Restigouche class and St. Laurent? For some reason I never put 2+2 together with their decommissioning aligning with the entry of the four IROs. I did my initial baby stoker training on St. Croix. What an antique that was.

The Cloggie crime dramas on Netflix are pretty good. A bit tongue in cheek. Ferry and Undercover. Just watch them in the right order.

Aybygum, don’t forget the Yorkies and Geordies.

I’m dead shexy, Moneypenny.

For some reason when I first glanced at your comment, I read 'Gagetown' as 'Glasgow'.

The same reason extremists parties grow on both sides of the spectrum.…an inability or unwillingness of mainstream parties to deal with the issues.

Did you have an Emerald Toilet flashback of butt-stroking the two miscreants with your SLR?

Drove west down Pandora after work yesterday. Traffic was slow so I had an opportunity to rubberneck more than usual. FFS, the place gets worse by the week. I thought the FTP sign taped to the front of 941 was a nice touch (a building whose maintenance falls under my umbrella.) I saw VPD...

It is, although I haven't done the plugs yet :p. A few months back, I had an issue with downshifting and power on climbs. Cleaned the MAF sensor for the first time and the problem went away. Cheap fix for the win! We should have an F150 owners thread......

I dabbled in trucks for years, usually bangers that I could usually flip for what I paid, whilst the newer vehicle we had was a Civic or CRV. Since 2004 though, I’ve been a solid F150 guy for all the reasons you’ve listed above. My current 2010 with the 5.4l with no ecoboost isn’t that bad on...

McNab (ok...Mitchell) mentions that in one of his books. CO 2 RGJ killed. Well regarded according to Andy. Highest ranking member killed on active service, or would that have been Warrenpoint?

The best (worst?) observation: "But a country which used to be regarded as dull but decent now looks indecent and lead by dullards."

Doesn’t spotting of any kind come under the generic term of “anorak wearer”? The Brits have such endearing terms for things.

If PP can convince the 905 and 250/604 of the need and avoid bozo interruptions, one term may become two or more. By god, we need it.
