Rick. You sure your not in BC? Cause you've described Vancouver to a T. Rain in summer. rain rain and more rain the rest of the year. course if you'd said it was windy them you'd have described Victoria to a T. The only place in BC where you can't read a newspaper outside. I'd never noticed the wind in Victoria til I'd moved away though.

Vancouver is not like the rest of BC either. I'm mostly a country type girl. Grew up in the country. Prefer seeing cows and horses on the side of the road rather then the "latest fashion" slaves walking down the street.

Surry is both city and counry. You can walk down King George and see all the signs of a city (Soon to have large skyscrapers everywhere too) but turn down a road and your seeing Scottish longhorns. and tractors.


I'm just soooooo looking forward to the museums. I love museums.

RE: random comments threa

I'd heard nothing about "surrey girls' until I moved here. then suddenly............

It was really strange. Ive since heard lots of jokes about Surrey.

Such as "what does a surrey girl do when she gets up in the morning?"

"She goes home"

 

[Rick van Opbergen]

Do Surrey girls have such a bad reputation?

 

[mrmom2]

I lived there for about four years .Yes they used to have bad reputations it was alot of fun there.I don't know about now .

I was sitting on the couch this morning, smoking cigarettes and guzzling coffee while tickling the dog's feet when an equation popped into my mind.

NPP=GPP-R
or, conversely
GPP=NPP+R

It's from my grade 11 or 12 biology class. 23 or 24 damned years later and I'm having flashbacks like a post-traumatic stress victim.

The worst part is I can't remember what one of the P's stands for. GPP=Gross _________ Production. NPP=Net_________Production. R=Respiration. It's about plants producing oxygen, I know that...how to measure it. It came at the same time as the equation for photosynthesis, which I also don't remember fully, but I know that it ends in the chemical code for glucose.

The damned thing is stuck in my brain like a bad song.

Is it? I thought it was something longer. No wonder I couldn't remember it.

Do you have the equation stuck in your mind now, Jay? It isn't quite as annoying as having Trini Lopez singing about having a freakin' hammer, but it's close.

RE: random comments threa

you realize that since I made that Trini Lopez comment I have that song of his stuck in my brain?

"If I had a hammer..."

 

[Hard-Luck Henry]

8O You b*stard, Rev - you did that on purpose! :evil: "If I had a hammer ... I'd hammer in the mornin' ... I'd hammer in the evenin' ..." *rattles around head, probably for at least the rest of today!*

 

[peapod]

Your both bastards!!!!!!!!

If I had a song
I'd sing it in the morning
I'd sing it in the evening ... all over this world,
I'd sing out danger
I'd sing out a warning
I'd sing out love between all of my brothers and my sisters
All over this land :twisted: :twisted:

 

[Reverend Blair]

Heh, heh, why should I suffer alone? At least it's better that the Carpenters..."Why do birds..." :twisted:

 

[Hard-Luck Henry]

Arghh! I'll get you for that, just when you least expect it!

 

[peapod]

Arrrrrr!!! you need a flogging rev bucko... :twisted:

on the day that you were born
The angels got together and decided
To create a dream come true
So they sprinkled moondust in your hair
Of gold and starlight in your eyes of blue ukeright:
