I've heard that some gentlemens clubs in Canada encourage contact as opposed to the more usual touch'n'go policy elsewhere. Could make the business trip more pleasureable

Enjoy

Aye... weather is fine.. georgeous sunshine with about 11 degrees.

Working outsite on Wednesday afternoon as part of a charity thing the company does.. no idea what were doing.. but it usually involves paint, brush & shovell... so we may get wet..

I'm 5 hours behind.. so I may be posting at some stupid times too..

Simon - My good lady drove me in.. so I wasn't late this time I'll be setting my legal department on the taxi firm to recover the costs... Plus I missed a whole day where I'd planned to do some sight seeing.. gits.

What finished it off was my laptop case strap breaking in Leeds Airport and split completely in Amsterdam dropping my mouse, power supply and other bits all over the floor.. Have I uspet the gods or something?????

That should be three...

Mmmm.. Katrina will no doubt read this.. so I'll state for the record that I'll be staying well away from anything remotely topless, touchy and involving a pole... OK Dear?

... I'll let you know if we accidentily end up getting taken to such places by our Canadian hosts... **cough**

We work with a lot of Canadians and have a lot of conference calls and had to wait about 6 weeks for our first "aboot" and we all went to pieces as we'd been dying for them to say it. How on earth they managed to get through hours of conversation without saying about/aboot I don't know.

We even got a female "aboot" the other day - brilliant

Just been up this.....



CN Tower. Tallest building in the world and the highest observation platform in the world... Awesome views and you can see the curvature of the earth..

The glass floor at ther first level at 1,400 Ft takes some courage to step on to.... but man what a feeling...



Well worth it if you ever get the chance..

You'd see bugger all through the glass floor if I were to stand on it. There'd be a layer of freshly laid poo!

Once went up Emley Moor tower, but there was thick fog everywhere. Couldn't see the ground or maybe
