I was sadder my Leafs didn't go all the way the strike affected them badly.... ummm to get back on topic, I wonder which Hockey team Richard supports

*waves back to fellow canuck*
p.s. I used to date an (ex)Oiler so was rooting for them (half-heartedly)

Yep the Liberals still run Ontario, the PM is one Dalton McGuinty

And yep Serbia and Montenegro have split after a referendum in Montenegro succeeded.

King Arthur was in fact the great great great great great great grandfather of Clive Owen. He was a legendary Canadian King who sent his Knights (Lancepercival and Sir David of Bekenham) to search for the Holy Grail (a cup that some belive was used to hold the blood of geri halliwell) He was defeated in battle by Moby, his half brother, and the legend says he will return one day to save British Columbia from the Dutch.

At least thats what a 19 year old uni student just told me.

Speaking of Ontario is it right that something like a third of the total population of Canada lives in the province of Ontario

I knew an English girl (graduate) that thought you needed a passport to travel to Scotland - its not just the yanks that have pitiful knowledge of their own country and their neighbours.

actually I would have though it was slightly higher but yes it is highly populated compared to the other Provinces, and what most don't realise is you can put all of UK in Ontario and have space left over, but still people constantly ask me if I know their Uncle Bob who lives in Vancouver lmao

yes, and there are FM's on here who don't believe in King Arthur. (They must be french)

not PM - Premier

the silly girl...As long as she has her immunizations up to date she should be fine.

Well, I'm not sure if it is proof as such but it does mention how he first showed up in Welsh literature (Black book of carmarthen), and I remember reading somewhere that Merlin was a real person, just that his real name was myrddin and that carmarthen is named after him

Thanks for sticking up for my people... couldn't even be bothered to get involved with the pedants. Yeah, everyone's stupid, we get it. Yawn. Whatever makes you feel better about yourself.

Richard has said stupid things a while back, he said the moon caused gravity and the Earth was a dead sun.

Interesting. I have a lot to thank Canada for as one of my favourite singers, Sarah McLachlan comes from your great nation

are there not 'time team' and 'michael Palin' forums somewhere on DS.

As I've said before the original point of this thread was to demonstrate the stupidity of two Brits but it was kind of hijacked for which I apologise

I love her too, been to Lilith Fair 3 times

BTW Ty for not saying Celine Dion (she is not Canadian she is Quebequois :P)

the dead sun bit is a curious idea....although most things known about the solar system/universe/galaxy is pretty hit and miss....

as for the gravity question....what do you think causes/caused gravity?

to what degree if any does the moon affect gravity?

I was very amused when I heard a couple of guys on my train taking the piss out of their friend because he was visiting Scotland (from London) and had asked them about getting his money changed to Scottish money.

It really makes me wonder why people insist on saying Americans are thick and badly educated. If this is so then how come they are the most technologically advanced nation on earth?

And Brian Adams and Celine Dion. Thanks for that

Never seen SM in concert. I first heard her songs during episodes of Due South and I had to accuse some Canadians her name cos the end titles went by too quick

I can't stand CD if only for the fact that she did the theme to that vile film Titanic

Neither did I!

What a sheltered life we lead eh!

SM more than makes up for BA and CD

The first Indian meal I had was at university when my flatmates and me went out one night

kd lang is Canadian as well isn't she?

'This song does go on and on'? :P scarily she has done worse

Yes K.D. Lang is a hoser
