lol ya canadian french is difrent from french french lol

[vid]

Well it isn't that, I learned part Parisian in school and part Canadian from watching French TV and reading the French forums, but I was just wondering if they call is 'Le/La Google' or just 'Google'; Saying 'Le Google' seems a bit odd, but English really isn't that big on function words, especially 'the'. We use it so much we can figure out where it goes without actually writing or saying it.

[1ajs]

lol well i don't rember anything on the structure of french being i did not lern jack all

[vid]

French grammar is fun. I, however, do prefer patate to 'ground apples'.

[1ajs]

lol

[MaThQc]

Google don't have a gender in french quebecer.

[PhilippeMtl]

Do not listen MathQc, he is from Quebec City so he has zero credibility.

We always use : L'google or La moteur du Recherche but my friend Fabrice from Paris prefer to use Ze Google.

And Vid, you are a funny guy!:D

More or less the same as last week.

Except, now I have to remind myself to put 2007 on forms and notes instead of 2006.

Total pain in the ass.

[vid]

^^ I hear ya.

I broke my camera on Wednesday. Forgot it was in my sweater when I put it back on... It fell on the floor and the thing for the battery is crooked. Can probably be fixed easily but I won't be able to do it. :( I need a new one anyway, that thing is 2001 technology. :P

I give the first week of 2007 a modest 6/10.

Don't be too hard on Claeren. Whenever the forum is in dire need of a dry, yet factually astute insight into capital markets, he's always right there for us.



I like to think I help out in the smug, pointless, overworded smart-ass remark department ;)

Hey, I applaud Claeren. He says many things that at times I'd love too.

How does post count give people credibility? I honestly don't care about my post count, and would rather people didn't look up to me because of it. I just post for fun.

It's really the length and content of posts that shows credibility, not the number. I'm probably the least credible one here. :)

What's another word for Thesaurus?

I like the word 'synonylexicon' (sin ON a lexicon) or the delightfully German 'anderes Wortbuch' (Ander's wart book) when I am referring to a thesaurus without wanting to say thesaurus. Sadly, outside of calling it a lexicon as well (dictionaries and thesauri are both types of lexicons) there is no other word for thesaurus in the English language, at least that I know of.

"Vain" was operative. Come on vid, you knew that.

[Only The Lonely..]

So can anyone else explain why 7-11's have locks on their doors if their open 24 hours?

[vid]

No I didn't. I am an idiot. I know nothing. Shut up. What horseradish?

The Mac's down the street is 24 hours and has a lock because sometimes they do close for about 20 minutes a day sometimes. If there is a robbery or something, and the store has to be closed, the locks are for that. Sometimes they might be understaffed and have to close, and having the lock there in the first place is easier than having to put one in after the thought.

[Only The Lonely..]

Wow..and I thought Winnipeg was a pretty rough town..

You guys in Thunder Bay seem to be quite knowledgeable on the subject.

[SpongeG]

in vancouver most of the gas station stores lock up at 11 pm and you have to order through the little window - sometimes the guy will run and grab people chocolate bars or chips or pop whatever - its funny to watch as people point

other times they will open the door and let you in - but not so much

cause the doors come that way

[SpongeG]

i know cause i drive home from the bar and i want something to drink but the gas stations are usually open but only for gas

there aren't many corner stores open either other than downtown

i pass one 7-11 but its too awkward to get to - so i usually go to the Esso in coquitlam

[LordMandeep]

I hate how in the US you must pay before you PUMP gas even in crappy town with like 100 people.

[duper]

^You serious? Since when?

[LordMandeep]

in New York state we did often.

You don't even do that on the gas Station on the cornor of Jane and Finch in Toronto, like come on!!

[Greco Roman]

In Minnesota, we didn't have to pre-pay for our gas on our trip from Winnipeg to Minneapolis. We stopped at a gas bar on the side of I-94 at midnight; it was outside of a town too.

[LordMandeep]

then it appears it regionial.

In New York state is everywhere.

[vid]

Minnesota doesn't have pay-before-you-pump. They are going crazy with the self-serve thing, though. It seems to be a dying trend in America. Gotta pump your own gas now.

@aj: :tup:

Hope your thys are feeling better. :)

[LordMandeep]

lol, i found out there are 81 Tim Hortons only 10 miles from my house...

[itom 987]

There are 2 timies within a 10 min walk from my house.

[vid]

Umm.. Every thing in Thunder Bay is ten miles from downtown. :) The city is only about eight miles long by 4 miles wide. :)

And that 15 will be 19 by the end of the year. At it's peak we have almost 30 Robins Donuts.

[LordMandeep]

there are atleast 300 in the Toronto i would imagine...

thats overkill.

[vid]

But we NEED them. We NEED 86 cent coffee!!! While we drive to work!!! In our SUVs!!!!! :ahhh:

[SpongeG]

i didn't think there were that many tim hortons here in vancouver

they are sure outnumbered by everything else

[SteelTown]

Look how clumped together it is in the downtown area alone lol.

Now that's what I call Tim Horton's denisty!

[1ajs]

timhortans recently opened a 24 hour location indowntown winnipeg

[MolsonExport]

This thread is a total waste of space.

[PhilippeMtl]

I don't understand why people continue to go to Tim Horton's... Coffee is so bad and the food taste is fade.

A question for english-canadians, do you have cretons (rillettes) in your restaurants or it is only a quebec thing??

[MolsonExport]

Cretons are a distinctly French-Canadian thing. I've come across them wherever French-Canadians are concentrated (both inside and outside Quebec).

[vid]

timhortans...24 hour location

As opposed to what? Are there really Tim Horton's locations that actually close daily? I have yet to see one.

Congratulations, Winnipeg! On finally getting something Thunder Bay has 13 of!

[vid]

Hate to bump but I HAVE to share this little nugget from SSC. :)
I suppose I'm not against Trudeau on a note but I'm definitely not in favour of replacing the Queen with him. She first appeared on the $20 note in 1935.1935? You mean when she was 9 years old? Or are you referring to her equally parasitic father?You've spent how long in Canada and you still don't know how our governmental system works?

In fact the Queen was on the $20 note from '35-'37 as Princess Elizabeth.Yeah, right. :ohno:

Please don't confuse me with those of such limited intelligence that they'll turn themselves inside out to justify the desirability of vassalage to a bunch of useless inbreeds.

Let's see an image of that above-referenced bank note—along with your deed to the Brooklyn Bridge.Here you go:

Along with information from the Bank of Canada (http://www.bankofcanada.ca/en/banknotes/general/character/1935_20.html) website.
