What can't you get in Canada that you can't get anywhere else?

I suppose I'm lucky.

What the UK thinks of what you think it needs:

1. No thank you. If I want that treatment I'll either go to a spa or sit on a water fountain.
2. We do quite well just giggling about sex until we start not having it, then we don't talk about it.
3. We have Summer some years. I remember last year we definitely had 3 consecutive days of temperatures over 20 degrees
4. We invented the computer and internet (you're welcome).
5. They're called politicians.
6. I think you mean '4 day weeks'. Focus on working less.
7. This would mean working later, or getting up earlier. We'd miss any sunshine we have.
8. Yes.

(For those humour-impaired people, I'm not at 10 on the serious scale)

What Australia needs.

Less sun (then there would be less skin cancer)
More cooler weather.
Less Beaurecrats telling us how to live our lives.
More public transport.

With penguins on the beach, the problem of the decline of our coastal towns would be solved immediately.

When I first glanced at this thread I misread Spock's reply to you.

I thought he was admonishing you that "theyre NOT called 'penguins'! Theyre called 'politicians'.".

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

I'm still laughing my ass off!

Sorry Spock!

I like the missread version of what you said better than what you actually said.

A friend from Japan said they have vacume cleaners that are quiet,that would be awesome because I can't stand the sound of them.I want to pitch them thru a window.Probably why I don't own one.They have beautiful gardens also,so peaceful and serene.She gave me some snow pea seeds from there and they are the BEST I've ever grown.

I always wished that I could listen to music while vacuuming. So if thats true that they have quiet vacuum cleaners in japan they should start making them here too.
