Didn't see mention of this film in a forum search so I'll put this here due to the subject matter. Premiering at Cannes last year the film is Terence Davies recollections of his youth and the changes that his hometown of Liverpool have undergone. Throughout the film are great bits of archival...

Private Secretary: "You know, Madame Tussauds doesn't need either of you. For different reasons, of course."

I'm glad I don't have him when my court date comes up in 6 months. Bloody wanker, er, do-gooder, er, financial genius.

I had a similar trouble-free visit at Sherway. I've had a love-hate relationship with Apple since the ][e came out but I have to admit they do store layout (and advertising and packaging) very well. You can play with the products and there are enough around so there's no waiting. Too often...

That was helpful, though it confirms the 1% tax savings resulting in a small actual benefit, and will be more than offset by this line: "We will pay more for fuel for our homes and cars, for electricity, professional services..." There are a few decent bones thrown in elsewhere, but overall I...

You're right--it will help a bit on the first 36,000, but I don't see why they cut it off there. They could have at least gone to the second level where a lot of his middle class support lies. So I save $300 a year but pay it all back and then some in increased heating costs, goods and services...

Only the lowest bracket. Cheers to those who it helps but I'm not one of 'em.

A Bird in the Hand is worth 2 Ontario Budgets No surprises here, but let's take a quick glance anyway. Anything positive for this taxpayer? Let's see...no, no, no and no. And more to pay to boot. Back at 'ya Dalton

No, hasn't changed things at all. Not exactly frequent, but done often enough. At times living in a condo can encourage going out. :)

It's a kind of cross between East Side Marios and The Keg with more emphasis on the former. More mediocre than bad, though I had to admit I never ate at one in North America. Service was great but he food was nothing special. The steaks I had were reasonably well made but I have heard a lot of...

I had Outback a few times when I was overseas and wanted a steak, but never went once after I returned home. Too many better places around. I guess I never will now, though it's not a big loss. Have to admit having a hankerin' for that evil (vile?) Bloomin' Onion once in awhile.

At the risk of going off topic there's a disturbing but excellent Esquire article that goes behind that famous photograph. The Falling Man

You are indicating people are being rejected for no reason at all but also hinting that they are being rejected for very particular reasons (the differing meaning of "common sense" or the "unchecked power to discriminate against certain people"). I'm just curious which is the case--is this a...

Apology or not, with Fox's track record you can be sure they'll be putting their foot in it again quite soon.

Stewart did a great job, especially when he pointed out how his job and Cramer's are similar except that Cramer plays around with people's savings. Ouch. Although I think some personal responsibility should go into following the advice of a showman like Cramer, putting him on CNBC made it...

The biggest wieners are the ones down at city hall.

I'm wouldn't go so far as to compare it with intelligence. Given the number of unregistered and illegal guns out there, wouldn't it make sense for law enforcement to always enter buildings and units under the assumption that a firearm (or other weapon) might be present? I would think that easing...

PBS is awesome. So is Toronto--Happy birthday!

The gun registry was a boondoggle, yet another massive waste of taxpayer money done to appease rather than have an effect. $2 billion (1000 times the original $2 million estimate), no effect on gun crime and done for all the wrong reasons. It was argued against by justice ministers in a number...

Precooked?
