    If you had seen me getting up this morning, that may very well have been your reaction. Drinking on a school night when teaching at 8am =bad idea!

    I think it's called Oolong Cafe, It's near break for the border opposite The Wok Inn, they have like 300 teas/coffee beans. Pretty damn awesome.

    Oh, that is near me. I keep meaning to go in for a look. It's the one beside Accents, right? :)

    No Accents are still there, I just passed by yesterday. It (Oolong) used to be some Artisan food shop/deli for a little while. Can't remember what was there before that though. A printers or something maybe.

    Had my ACL reconstruction surgery on Wednesday there, finally home now after 2 days in a hospital bed. Being a cripple isn't much fun. Also, the painkillers make me drowsy as hell.

    Boourns. I want to be able to run! Now, damnit, nowwww!

    And I went out drinking that night, despite the fact I'd to be up for work by 5:30 the following morning.

    Not the best decision I ever made.

    Hope so! I'm seeing good progress in some movements but getting a very worrying pain (that I had before the injury, only now it's way worse) too. Seeing the physio tomorrow, hopefully he can advise.

    How's life in Canada, Kev? Any cultural oddities we should be aware of?

    Tiring and expensive. Working 45+ hours most weeks. Not too long left now though. I was planning to go home for 5 days at the end of July, but I'm going to wrap up things here and move back home. I'm being a little bitch and moving back to be closer to family.

    Cultural oddities? Believe it or not, nothing springs to mind. Drugs appear to be remarkably easy to get your hands on here, but maybe that just reflects more on the type of people I'm associated with. Am...I'm really drawing a blank here. Panthro has been here longer, he probably knows more than I do.

    How're things with yourself TBO? Anything strange with you?

    If I'm honest, writing up policy stuff doesn't sound like much fun. If I was in charge of that there would be very few policies. The main one would probably be "Don't be a dick." That seems to cover a lot of bases. :pac:

    Ha, yeah, heard ye pawned all your rain off on Europe for a while there. Village in Austria got two months worth of rain in two days I think. Mad stuff.

    I'm after flicking an elastic band at the girl in HR for no real reason.
    Hit her in the girly bits.
