<title>Bridget the Midget</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,23316569</link>
<description><![CDATA[Bridget the Midget is a 1977 MG Midget from England who is on a drive around the world after being restored in 2007....

I was fortunate enough to snap these two photos when Bridget made a stop at our annual Memory Lane car show, Sept 20, 2009 in the Bedford Place Mall, Bedford Nova Scotia...

I actually passed Bridget on the Trans Canada (outside of Moncton) when I was heading home from Bangor (probably around Sept 18th) so I was quite surprised when I spotted her at our local show & shine....

<title>[Poll] Why don&#x27;t people wash their hands after taking a dump?</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,23304042</link>
<description><![CDATA[I was reading in the local newspaper about personal hygiene and the numbers just made me sick.  They were doing studies and only 27% of men and 28% of women wash their hands after doing their shit or whatever (like maybe a piss or something).  The numbers jump to about 40% for healthcare workers and 69% of doctors. Really, so my doctor is touching me with crap on his hands, maybe? What the hell? So, this leads to this weeks Canadian Chat Poll.

[poll]Do you wash your hands after using the bathroom,Yes,No,Sometimes,Well - it adds taste to my food,[/poll]

Should be interesting to see the numbers here.  My guess we'll be getting close to 90% saying YES and the other 10% being smart and saying that it adds taste to their food.

I through with my rant.  And I always, always wash my hands after a piss or a shit and whatever nasty body functions happen.

<title>[Rant] Toronto to host 2015 Pan Am Games</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,23303618</link>
<description><![CDATA[Great! All we need is another loser quasi-olympics to suck money from taxpayers. Fucking tards!

-------------------------------------------------------------

It's mission accomplished for Ontario Premier Dalton McGuinty, Toronto Mayor David Miller and all other members of the delegation supporting Toronto's bid to host the 2015 Pan Am Games.

On the first ballot of Friday's vote in Guadalajara, Mexico, Toronto was tapped as the host city.

"Our commitment, our pledge, our undertaking, our promise is to provide you with the best Pan Am Games ever," McGuinty told delegates after the results were announced. "It's an exciting time for so many of us here."

Miller also took the podium to express his gratitude for the first-ballot win.

"I would like to say thanks for all of the confidence shown in Toronto," Miller said. "See you all in 2015."

Bid adviser Bob Richardson said before the vote that he was confident his team did all it could to sell the region to Pan American Sports Organization voters.

It seems they did just that, beating out the two other bidding cities &#151; Lima, Peru, and Bogota, Colombia.

In the final presentation held shortly before the vote, Miller asked that Toronto be given "the privilege" of hosting the Games, and said "it is Toronto's time."

McGuinty said Toronto would be proud to host the Games and that Pan Am officials would be proud of the job the city would do. "We are ready and we will deliver," McGuinty said.
Winning bid still faces opposition

Not everyone will be happy that the Games are heading to the Golden Horseshoe. The bid was opposed by groups that believe the $1.4-billion operating budget (plus another $1 billion for the athletes' village) is a large underestimation of what the final price tag will be for hosting the event.

The federal and provincial governments are expected to each contribute 35 per cent of the total, or some $500 million each. Municipalities and private investors are on the hook for the remaining $428.5 million.

In all, more than 50 venues and six new facilities are planned for the region, including $170 million for another aquatic and sports training centre at University of Toronto, a $150-million stadium in Hamilton and four new Olympic-sized pools.

The CBC's Tom Harrington said the winning bid will strengthen the support system for many amateur athletes.

"Toronto lacks the facilities amateur sport needs, and the infrastructure will help them a great deal," Harrington said.

Toronto's port lands will be a focal point of the event, and the housing and facilities constructed for athletes in that area are pledged to become mixed-use homes upon the completion of the Games.

<title>Canada Post...Revisited</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,23318702</link>
<description><![CDATA[Checking my tracking number and according to the Canada Post website a delivery notice was left for me on Friday, November 6. There was no notice in my mail box and the item is now waiting for pick-up at the Postal outlet nearby. My question is will they let me have the package without the notice if given enough proof of identification. I want to be armed with enough info before I go in there later today. Thanks.  :)
