Uni in Wales is great. But you might wanna learn to spell the name of the place if your planning on living there.

Ah the welsh, the Scots without the sex appeal and the Irish without the laughs.;)

We Canadians have saved the world a couple of times.

First in WWI, in the battle of Vimy ridge, The German army knew how the British and French army fought, but the Canadians where the wildcard of the war.

Then during the Suez crisis; Canadian peacekeepers created by Prime Minister Lester B Pearson, kept the hostility to a minimum so a negotiation could be met.

Cheers for that, I was trying to remember what Notabot left out of his list of bad things Canada did. Really racking my brains, and then up you pop like crap out of a broken drain...

The AC/DC song? Nope, haven't heard it but I'm curious what this list of "crimes" involves. Please elaborate.

I'm shocked that no one has mentioned a certain winged, Starscream-lovin' puma, yet.

I'm not. Most people who've been here long enough to remember are sensible enough not to make a vendetta out of such things.

Well I actually meant learn how to spell Wales. You spelled it Whales in your first post. As for aberystwith (is that how you spell it?) I wouldn't have a clue!

The Crimes of Shania Twain

Post by Notabot »

Civ wrote:I'm curious what this list of "crimes" involves. Please elaborate.
Ooo, where to start?
-The ridiculously misanthropic "Any Man of Mine"
-Her deviation from the classic "1-2" beat required of all country songs
-When she sued the estate of Mark Twain, claiming to be the rightful heir
-Her 2004 albumcompletely rips off the title of the 1981 Queen album in hopes of attracting their audience
-Her involvement in the Boca Raton Death March
-Her critically panned album of Bob Marley covers
-Her fragrance by Stetson gives me a rash
Now, out of fairness, I guess I should point out that some of the above are only "alleged", but I think it all speaks for itself.

sorry i will never use a h in Wales again and i got a prospectus for Aberystwyth today at an open day at Hull uni (along with about 20 others)

as for Canada i think is great and would love to visit, i know that their animators get a lot of support as UK animators have to pay for all their own stuff, a friend of mine is a animator and says there should be a national film board of canada thing over here, but i think thats just wishful thinking
