  1. Don't worry and Inky too, I am not in on that show, so I think that I can keep my man card. It is a pretty good show and it demonstrates that people (women in this case, but it is a good example in general) of very differing views and experiences can get along and have a civil discussion. Yeah, that movie. I have no issue with the effort and the story portrail (mostly). The issue that I have is that everyone is hyping it up as the closest thing to Queen and Freddie. No matter how good the effort there is no possible way. There is a very good reason why there are no Freddie impersonators out there. There are a handful of Queen rip off acts out there, but they do not try to sound like Freddie. It is not possible. The guy, while doing a good job in general, is obviously lip syncing and not very well, IMO. I am a huge Queen and Freddie fan. I have seen them live several times and it has always, regardless of era, been the experience of a lifetime. There is nothing like it and it is all because of Freddie. There is no possible way anyone could duplicate that. So, I see no point in trying. Even if you have never seen Freddie perform live there are plenty of YouTube videos out there. And if you only have a twenty minute window all you need to do is watch Queen at Live Aid. Even if you are not a fan, that video will send shivers. I can sort of understand that if you never saw Queen live why there would be some interest in this movie, but even if you want a historical perspective there are countless documentaries out there that are very well done. Another issue that I have is that (apparently) they side step the whole Aids issue. I certainly don't think they needed to go into how he contracted that horrible disease, as that is of no import, but I don't think it should be ignored in such a film, as the time frame covers a long period and not just 1974/5. The very first album I bought ever was A Night At The Opera, in large part because of Bohemian Rhapsody. I still have a handful of albums, including that one. And thank you for your kind words concerning my efforts on kicking that nastiest of habits and addictions. So far, so good. Also ... awesome that you mother was born in Truro ... 'The Hub of NS' and for good reason. I like Truro. It's a very nice town and has much to do for day outings and a fantastic underware factory that is quite famous. I am never far from my Stanfields and a spare, or two ...
  2. Great game ... great win. It's almost like I need a smoke ... LIGHTNING ALERT!! NS .... ooooouuuuuttttttt ...
  3. +++++ Is it just me, or is this period really dddddrrrrraaaaagggggiiiiiinnnnnngggggg? And I missed all the fun parts.
  4. So, I was on a conference call with a client and CRA. I'm back now ... what did I miss? Anything exciting?
  5. And another thing ... The Sabres are better, well look better (?) with Bogo in the lineup. He's as handome today as he ever was. Hey, oh ... Inky.
  6. And another thing ... I still would not want to meet that Nelson guy in a dark, or even a very well lit, alley. Amiright, PA? I thought that I was behind. That was almost a full period ago ... LOL!!
  7. I don't hate those lines, or the D combos, that much. Our decond and third lines are quite hopeless anyway. Maybe they will light it up today.
  8. Beware of those Ottawa wankers, my friend. Nation Captial wankers are extra wanky. Sorry, Charlie. 'Starkist don't want tuna with good taste. Starkist wants tuna that tastes good'.
  9. Hey Bob, Don't cry at your banning, it's for your own good really. Others would not be as generous as I in only banning you after you mention that Brad friggin' Park character. It's a special NS banning anyway. You know, none of your SS privileges are revoked, but let this be a warning to you not to even mantion that name again, eh!!
  10. CHOCOLATE!! You know you have a serious addiction when you walk the 7 minute walk to your local grocer in a Typhoon and end up looking like a soaking wet rat (not drowned, though). +++++ Also, my wife has me pretty interested in The View. Until last night that is ... the ladies had on the cast of that abomination ... Bohemian Rhapsody. For the life of me, I do not understand why peole try to dupicate Freddie and why people pay good money for that nonsense. Really.
  11. That was just before the 'Ghost Town' ... ?
  12. Best GDT start ever ... +++++ What the heck is with the 3:06 PM (AST) start time? MUST WIN!! Avenge me, boys!! GO SABRES!!
  13. These are primarily kids playing a man's game. They will mature and hopefully develop into something of substance, but for the foreseeable future the lack of secondary scoring will continue to be a big problem for the Sabres. I am not sure that the crew in Rochester will help out much going forward.
  14. Wherefore I am the official SS cryer ... Clang ... clang ... Hear, ye!! Hear, ye!! The estemed (?) SS member commonly known as N S has finally had enough of the anoying space between his letter. Be it proclaimed that from this day forward N S will be reverting to his European, but not Aboriginal (unfortunately), roots and now be known as New Scotland, which is translated from the Latin Nova Scotia. Be it also proclaimed that said New Scotland will still prefer that his friends continue to address him as NS. Thank you for your attention. We now return you to whatever ... Clang ... clang ...
