four years, of course
That was consequence of trying to compose an entry here and to answer a telephone inquiry simultaneously (turns out I'm one of those people who only think they can multitask). I rather wish the guy would absent himself for a like period each year. I'd be spared a couple of pointless staff meetings. cordially, |

Re: four years, of course
I am relieved that the United States has been eliminated from the championship of the World's Most Boring Sport. I look forward to it fading from the national consciousness for the next three-and-a-half years. |

Are you talking about the city of Guelph, Ontario?
You know, the city named after the noise you make after you party? |

Heh :)
We tend towards a slightly subtler approach to mocking places. Like Regina in Saskatchewan. The city that rhymes with fun. |

We gots Intercourse PA. (for once, less vulgar than Blighty?)

Canada does OK.
I've camped at Dildo Run Provincial Park in Newfoundland. Here: http://www.newfoundlandlabrador.com/PlanYourTrip/Detail/16227854 Note that it's located near Virgin Arm.

Day after I picked up my A-H Sprite in London, I drove out to Abingdon
where Sprites were built (just for the random hell of it.) Was a week-end; saw bodies for Sprites stacked in a fenced area ... all right near the village of Maidenhead --snapped pic of the sign on my Minox spy-camera. Ah those Puritans: spreading sex-is-Evull across the centuries--making Murica what it is today. (The UK did us no favours by merely booting them out: they bloody-well Doomed us to become the dis-USA.) Now if only they had ... |

Bowling Golf Tennis American Stop-Start-Fall-Over-Football ...all more boring than football. Although football is pretty dreary. Anyhoo, the bestest World Cup is next year - Rugby Union. And it's in England (I and a delegation from my local pub are going to see NZ v Tonga at Newcastle). Should be fun. The Tongans are reknowned for being big lads. Also, respect the 'fro:  |
