Here we come to a conundrum, just how do you fill in the time while you are waiting for the 90 second rule to fill it's purpose? Do you ...
a)Pop out of the room and put the kettle on?
b)Have a quick glance at the news headlines?
c)Type meaningless crap in a small font 'cos you are too lazy to do either a or b?

Yeah, I hate being faffed over - but I love being spoiled rotten - there is a difference ye know (I'm terrible in a hospital too - last time I was in I kept kicking the blankets off me - not my fault they insist on wrapping me up in about 9 layers of blankets & then tucking the damned things in - all the way up to me chin - I bloody well hate having blankets etc near my face )

There is a big difference hun Spoiling someone is doing stuff for them because you want to do something special.........faffing is doing stuff for someone 'cos you think they can't do it themselves, at least that is the way I see it (not averse to being spoiled either)
Hospital blankets amaze me.........What are they made of, starched Camels pubic hair or summit? In the middle of summer they put about dozen blankets on yer, that weigh a ton, then tuck the corners in and tell yer to stay in bed...........I'm sure the nurses hide around the corner giggling at us while we slowly dehydrate

Well, this blew up big in a day!

I posted this letter to be funny, don't get all uptight!

Where to start?

Let's start here.


Molson Canadian's 'I Am Canadian Rant'




Hey,

I'm not a lumber jack, or a fur trader.

I don't live in an igloo, or eat blubber, or own a dog sled.

And I don't know Jimmy, Sally or Suzie from Canada. Although I'm sure certain they're really, really nice.

I have a Prime Minister, not a President.

I speak English and French, not American.

And I pronounce it about, not aboot.

I can proudly sew my countries flag on my back pack.

I believe in peace keeping, not policing.

Diversity! Not assimilation.

And that the beaver is a truly proud and noble animal!

A toque is hat.

A chesterfield is a couch.

And it is pronounced Zed! Not Zee, Zed!

Canada is the second largest land mass,

the first nation of hockey,

and the best part of North America.

My name is Joe!

And I am Canadian!

Americans, here you go (another joke)











I AM AMERICAN...
I'm not particularly intelligent, open-minded, or generally well-liked.

I don't live in a clean place, I don't eat nutritiously very often, and I don't drive well.

I don't know Shakespeare, Da Vinci or Gutenberg.

Although I'm certain they weren't American.

I drink beer.....not good beer. I don't use utensils when eating.

I believe in guns for settling disputes, not discussions.

And I pronounce it AIN'T, not AREN'T.

I can proudly sew my country's flag on my backpack

...until I go anywhere, and what's the point in doing that.

Burger King IS fine dining. Cracker Jack IS a vegetable and WWF wrestling is real.

The UNITED STATES is the ONLY country in the world,

The FIRST nation of ignorance, and the BEST part of South America!

My name is Johnny Bob Jimmy Joe Ray...

...AND I AM AMERICAN!

Here's a few quotes about Cnada, after postig this, I'l post my own thoughts.



Canadians . . . have no south of which they can speak warmly.
Priit J. Vesilind, National Geographic

When they said Canada, I thought it was up in the mountains somewhere.
Marilyn Monroe, actress

I had no idea Canada could be so much fun
Bruce Willis, actor

I wouldn't let someone take my Canadian citizenship from me for anything
Jim Kale of the Guess Who

They must be doing something right up there in Canada.
Hugh Hefner, Playboy Founder

After all, we fought the Yanks in 1812 and kicked them the hell out of our country -- but not with blanks
Farley Mowat (1921-)

The US is our trading partner, our neighbour, our ally and our friend... and sometimes we'd like to give them such a smack!
Rick Mercer, "This Hour Has 22 Minutes"

I am a Canadian, free to speak without fear, free to worship in my own way, free to stand for what I think right, free to oppose what I believe wrong, or free to choose those who shall govern my country. This heritage of freedom I pledge to uphold for myself and all mankind.
John Diefenbaker (From the Canadian Bill of Rights, July 1, 1960.)

Our hopes are high. Our faith in the people is great. Our courage is strong. And our dreams for this beautiful country will never die.
Pierre Trudeau

Americans should never underestimate the constant pressure on Canada which the mere presence of the United States has produced. We're different people from you and we're different people because of you. Living next to you is in some ways like sleeping with an elephant. No matter how friendly and even-tempered is the beast, if I can call it that, one is effected by every twitch and grunt. It should not therefore be expected that this kind of nation, this Canada, should project itself as a mirror image of the United States.
Pierre Trudeau

We shall be Canadians first, foremost, and always, and our policies will be decided in Canada and not dictated by any other country.
John G. Diefenbaker

We have it all. We have great diversity of people, we have a wonderful land, and we have great possibilities. So all those things combined there's no where else I'd rather be.
Bob Rae

'Patriotism is not dying for one's country, it is living for one's contry. And for humanity. Perhaps that is not as romantic, but it's better.'
Agnes Macphail

There are no limits to the majestic future which lies before the mighty expanse of Canada with its virile, aspiring, cultured, and generous-hearted people.
Sir Winston Churchill

I don't even know what street Canada is on.
Al Capone, US ganster

A Canadian is someone who knows how to make love in a canoe.
Pierre Burton, historian

Canada is one of the planet's most comfortable, and caring, societies. The United Nations Human Development Index cited the country as the most desirable place in the world to live. This year a World Bank study named Canada the globe's second wealthiest society after Australia.
Time magazine

Give your head a shake. This is the greatest country in the world.
Curtis Sanderson

God Bless America, but God help Canada to put up with them!
Anonymous

Canadians are the people who learned to live without the bold accents of the natural ego-trippers of other lands.
Marshall McLuhan

Canadians have an abiding interest in surprising those Americans who have historically made little effort to learn about their neighbour to the North.
Peter Jennings

It is wonderful to feel the grandness of Canada in the raw, not because she is Canada but because she's something sublime that you were born into, some great rugged power that you are a part of.
Emily Carr

Canadian nationalism is a subtle, easily misunderstood but powerful reality, expressed in a way that is not to state directed - something like a beer commercial or the death of a significant Canadian figure.
Paul Kopas

Vive la Canada. This country is not for sale.
Don Sweet

We'll explain the appeal of curling to you if you explain the appeal of the National Rifle Association to us.
Andy Barrie

In only a century and a quarter since Confederation, Canadians have shaped out of the North American wilderness one of the most privileged societies on the face of the earth. Ranking among the seven most prosperous nations in the world, Canada is rich not only in the abundance of our resources and the magnificence of our land, but also in the diversity and the character of our people. We have long been known as one of the most tolerant, progressive, innovative, caring and peaceful societies in existence.
The Will of a Nation: Awakening the Canadian Spirit by George Radwanski & Julia Luttrell

When I'm in Canada, I feel this is what the world should be like.
Jane Fonda

Canada is a place of infinite promise. We like the people, and if one ever had to emigrate, this would be the destination, not the U.S.A. The hills, lakes and forests make it a place of peace and repose of the mind, such as one never finds in the U.S.A.
John Maynard Keynes

You Canadians have given us such hope to carry on. We admire your bravery. You are the neighbour of such a rich, powerful country, and yet you don't mind clashing with them. Well, that gives us more confidence.
Pedro Gutierrez

I am deeply moved by the warmth and courage of the Canadian people which I felt so strongly during my recent visit to your country. Your support of the struggle against apartheid restored me in my journey home and reassured me that many just people around the world are with us.
Archbishop Desmond Tutu

Canada is probably the most free country in the world where a man still has room to breathe, to spread out, to move forward, to move out, an open country with an open frontier Canada has created harmony and cooperation among ethnic groups, and it must take this experience to the world because there is yet to be such an example of harmony and cooperation among ethnic groups.
Valentyn Moroz

If you don't think that your country should come before yourself, you can better serve your country by livin' someplace else.
Stompin' Tom Connors

Canada has never been a melting-pot; more like a tossed salad.
Arnold Edinborough

THIS IS MY OWN POST! MY OWN OPINIONS! NOT FROM A WEBSITE LIKE THE OTHER STUFF


Firstly, I have never heard of NAMBLA (North American Man Boy Love Association), and think that it is disgusting.



Canadians are not the 51st state. We are larger that America, with a smaller population, therefore giving us more room for expansion, more room for the natives to live in their original way (The Americans have simply annexed their natives), and more resources yet untapped.

Canadians do not have accents. (well, ok, Ontarians don't, Frenchy's and Newfies do. )

The Canadians always get involved in peacekeeping missions. Sice I believe 1965, Canada has taken part in every single UN peacekeping operation. Not to mention our war deeds. I might add that, while in WWI we entered the war automatically with the Brits, we entered a week after them in WWII, because they're our allies.

We keep the royals a part of our culture, though they are completely symbolic, out of respect, just as we respect George Bush (even if he is a moron...j/k )

Most Canadians do not say aboot, we do say eh. But we also actually say "you're welcome" when someone thanks us.

Canadians are also the first nation of Lacrosse. We have never asked to be the best at Football, we know the Americans hold this. But we have every right to have our own league.

Ok, so baseball was the American pastime, but for a while, the Toronto Blue Jays had a god thing going. They won the world series back to bck in '92 and '93. Yes they suck now. The Montreal Expos...no comment.

We may not hold our hands on our hearts when we sing Oh, Canada, we we are patriotic, because when we sing it...it almost brigs tears to my eyes thinking about it.

Yes, Canadians have lots of American things, but the Americans have many British things as well.
"American Idol", and Simon, both originted from "Pop Idol" in Britain, as did "Whose Line is it Anyways", and "Who Wants To Be A Millionaire". (BTW I always knew Ruben would win)

Also, personally, I quite like Americans. although they look at yo funny if you apologize for bumping into someone in NYC or Chicago. (know from personal experience )
