if I was in France that would be Nice.

Then I would be on par with Napa Valley

Wow, Tesco, you probably barely even get snow that far south!!

Ruatha, due to the prevailing air currents, Scandinavian countries (If I remember correctly) get a bit warmer weather than similar latitudes in Canada. Your 59 North is probably equal to my 54 North. Do you get temperatures down to at least -40 degrees Celcius every year, at least once? That should be a fairly accurate guage of relative temperatures

[tesco samoa]

-40 where in bc do you live ???

The cold part?

Hmmm... returning to tyhis thread after a few weeks' absence (haven't checked it since my Last post) and it seems i kicked off a bit of a storm. Sorry everyone for kicking all this off and then disappearing. Too much has been said (and the heat has died down too much for me to want to stir things up again) for me respond to any comment or person individually but I'll say the following:

Fyron has pretty accurately summed up the mood of my flippant "revolution" comment. You need to break the two-party system, and neither of the two parties are likely to do that without a gun against their head. I'm not seriously suggesting you literally put a gun against anyone's head, but there are more kinds of revolution than up-against-the-wall civil wars. Any major and fundamental change in the way things are done is, by definition, a revolution, and that is exactly what you guys need.

If Katchoo has seriously left the Boards as an indirect result of what I said, then I am truly sorry to everyone, because Katchoo is (was?) a major asset to this community. I will email him and humbly ask him to come back. I would ask anyone else who feels they may have participated in his decision to leave to do the same.

I personally believe the war on Iraq is a crusade. Bush and- more importantly- the neocon puppetmasters behind him, really seem to believe that they are perfectly justified in imposing their values on the rest of the world. Just read the NPAC if you don't believe me. I can't be arsed to dig around for the precise quote right now but Bush has also made some very scary comments and references that imply that he does believe he's on a "mission from God" (said in Best Blues Brothers impersonation) to cleanse the middle East of heathens. He's certainly said on several occasions that God has told him to do stuff. ("God told me to strike at Saddam" etc)
I'm sorry if that's not what you want to hear Starhawk, and I'm sorry for your berieved friend, but the people who should be even sorrier are all the bastards with the power and will to pay for their own goals in other peoples' blood.

Finally, I want to say that I've met a lot of Canadians and they were almost all very nice people.

[Starhawk]

YOU DAMN CANADIANS YOU GOT HIM TOOOOOO!

Meh Dogscoff your free to your opinion I don't agree with some of it but you are, no hard feelings

Near an itty bitty little town called Fort Fraser. In reference to a slightly larger city, about 130 kilometres west of Prince George. Geographically, almost the dead center of the province. (we live in a bit of a hole, it always gets colder here than in other places.)

It's the Gulf stream in the atlantic that warms us up.
Here were I live now we never have -40, some winters below -30 but that's rare.
Where my parents live it's sommetimes below -40 but that's very, very rare, but it's below -30 every winter.

EDIT: We use Celcius degrees, but -40 seems to be the same in both Fahrenheit and Celcius.

Lies Back and is thankful

Although we may not get cold tempreatures at that level here In Carlisle we get something else...

They call this area a "Place of Natural Beauty and the Lake District" which is government speak for "It Rains a bloody lot up here!"

-30/40 though... [img]/threads/images/Graemlins/Cold.gif[/img] I'm shivering just thinking about that [img]/threads/images/Graemlins/Campfire.gif[/img] [img]/threads/images/Graemlins/Campfire.gif[/img]

[tesco samoa]
