july 1 , gads forgive me mates , happy Canada Day

Thank you Pappy. 141 years old. The country, you idjits, not me. I only seem that old. LOL.

Congratulations Burner, hope you had a wonderful day.

Yes, I did, thank-you. I spoke with a good buddy on MSN Messenger on two different occasions.

I hope you didn't get bored chatting with him.

Happy Canada Day to all of our Great White Northern Brothers!!!

I would never become bored chatting with a young man of such sterling character. He was even gracious enough to introduce me to his finance.

Thanks bullski.

Happy "Canada Day" Bart.

Are there unique celebrations. like fireworks for the 4th of July in the US ?

Thank-you, Ray. Of course! Do you think it is just you, the British and Chinese that have a love of fireworks? We have fireworks for the Victoria Day long weekend in May. (After Queen Victoria.) And also on July 1st. I don't know about any other city in Canada however here in Winnipeg, you will have the local area having fireworks (usually at the local community club, aka hockey rink/baseball diamond) and a city/provincial/federal event at a prominent city area such as Winnipeg's The Forks. The Forks is the area of confluence of the Red and Assiniboine rivers and there are a whole pile of stores and restuarants there. Plus a scenic river walk which is usually flooded at least one if not twice a summer due to great engineering plans, architecture competence and forethought in city planning.
<Sorry, couldn't resist a kick at the microcephalics that planned and engineered this city walk.> Good thing that someone didn't completely have their cabeza jacked up past their anal sphincter and actually thought about having canoe and paddleboat, scenic river tours as a backup/contigency. Idiots.

Yes. Happy Canuk day

Happy Canada Day t_b, sorry for the belated thought.

You must be in the dog house that's why your wireless connection is so slow. Ha ha ha. Your wife being Canadian and all.

Hmmm .... the pressure is on! You got that right t_b, but some dog houses are not that bad. In the least, I can share the yard with Raccoons, Possums, Feral cats, and now a skunk-we call him Sam the skunk-likes cat food too! Cheers,

Cheers to you for always being a good sport, Df.
