Summer started last Friday, what are your plans this season?

Be sure to know how to say "where is the toilet" in French..Qubecers will ignore you when you speak English. Or stay withn the tourist areas.

Years ago they passed a law mandating that English merchants make signage in French even though their clientele are mainly English speaking. They have a strong feeling that they are under seige by English speaking parts of Canada.
my brother took French in high school :ROFLMAO:
 
Do you get snow in Australia? I just read an article the other day that Melbourne is one of top 10 cities in World to live
We don't get much snow here in Melbourne,. but we do get snow in the mountains which it's about a 3 hour drive north east from Melbourne, if you like to ski. We do get hail at times.

Not all Quebecois will ignore you if you speak English, especially in Montreal where many people speak English. They passed a law that all signage in Quebec must be French, this is one way that they are trying to protect their French language and culture from being swallowed up by the English all around them. Whether that is true or not I cannot say. I'll be going there next winter for a couple hockey games.
 
After having the driest & the sunniest & warmest spring ever recorded in this part of the UK I've already had lots of BBQ's etc & done most garden work although my back lawn is looking overly brown - I'm hoping to go up the the Norwegian Fjords later in the year, assuming those (narcistic fools) in power leave us the planet as we know it?
 
we get a number of 105F days here unfortunately it is not a dry heat... Temp humidity index too often 110-115F

I remember the days in Houston, when opening the door to go outside and getting hit with a wall of heat and humidity. The amount of mosquitos there also surprised me, they weren't as big as the ones in MN, but just as pesky plentiful.

Spent some time in TX on the bend near Corpus, I got eaten alive esp after heavy rain which was surprisingly often, no wonder few people went out much :eek: (like a fool from UK I did that often)
 
Ho hum to the great outdoors. Does nobody have any interesting security projects? Make up one now.
