  1. Thanks boss will do....
  2. What make is the grill and what are the grids made from? Never put meat, fish, whatever on a cold grill, it WILL stick. A very hot grill and a little olive oil works wonders. You may be able to get a copy of the manual from the makers website.
  3. Great report Wayne, thanks for sharing.
  4. A great one to you too Maureen.
  5. Be the bigger man and lead by example!
  6. Nice one Carole!
  7. Yeah, I understand that excitement Jim...same thing for me last year and I only had to wait two weeks...
  8. Congratulations Simon, that's great news. Glad that Mom and Jack are doing well. Definitely a keeper!
  9. Congratulations Ron. The chapter is in great hands! It was nice to see you and Jef at the Spring Show.
  10. They also own Cannon
  11. So, after all that, it appears that 4 feet 8.5 inches is still the approximate width of two horses a$$es.............
  12. I agree too that they are probably going to end up in bankruptcy protection. Where did the $6-7/hour come from? I was under the impression that the only thing they got was a freeze on wages and pensions until 2012. If there was some concession, I must have missed it.
  13. Providing incentives to the consumer may make them buy, but it will be short term stimulation. The same fundamental problems will exist with the automakers.
  14. Sad news Bernie, but rest well knowing you were there for him when he needed you the most.
  15. I'm with Chris. Some of the things I did in my teens give me chills when I think about them now. At the time you know you are doing something really stupid but never really believe that you, or someone else, will suffer the consequences.
  16. OK, what the heck is "monitization".......you tryin' to confuze us..?
  17. No thoughts really.... Antropov to Rangers for 2nd round pick, Domenic Moore to Sabres, again for 2nd round pick. As you said Toskala on IR. Gerber to Toronto off waivers, and defenseman ?? off waivers, supposed to be tough guy.
  18. How about them???? Great times weren't they!
  19. Steel is our business as they say....I am surrounded by it day to day Can't do much for you from the 50's without looking up the data. I was only a gleam in my Daddy's eye until 1953... What I can tell you is between the US and the Brit's they controlled a giant share.
  20. Great story Rick thanks for sharing. I could have given you the 35 pounds free of charge and we both would have benefited! Nice to hear that things are moving along for you, we missed you.
  21. Thanks guys. I don't think we say that often enough. Welcome back Rick!
  22. I hate to burst your bubble chukkk, but US Steel doesn't control the steel market. At best, they are reacting to Global market forces. The top 10 steel producers in the world have either Indian, Chinese, Korean or Japanese majority ownership. The rest of the top 20 with the exception of 2, (US Steel and Nucore), are Chinese, Russian, Brazilian, German, Indian and Pakistani. The total Global Steel output is 1.3 Billion tonnes, China produces almost 40% of this!!! India will probably be number 2 in terms of output by 2015. One thing that I agree with you on is that this downturn is different than anything most of us have seen in our lifetimes. We will get through it, but it will take much longer than we think it will.
  23. Belated Happy Birthday....
  24. That's great Simon. Cherish those times that you can spend together. I know very well how much I missed my parents when they were in the UK and I was here.
  25. Thank you so much for posting that Peter. Thank you to all of the volunteers and the Town of Oakville.
