^^I'd like to specify that they're flatmates, not roomates

so i just got a computer with a tv tuner and it's made me like tv again. i searched for movies with christopher walken in them and found out there are tons that are gonna be on. i also found out there's an nba show on sunday mornings and that there's a late game on sportsnet tonight where i get to watch chris paul. my family never wanted to spring for digital cable so we're just on old school with no channel listings, so this is quite the revelation for me. also i could never count on anybody to tape anything for me but now i'm able to do it so easily... i pretty much love life

Only in Canada.

Do not apply for your old age pension. Apply to be a refugee. It is
interesting that the federal government provides a single refugee with a
monthly allowance of $1,890.00 and each can get an additional $580.00 in
social assistance for a total of $2,470.00.

This compares very well to a single pensioner who, after contributing to the
growth and development of Canada for 40 or 50 years, can only receive a
monthly maximum of $1,012.00 in old age pension and Guaranteed Income
Supplement.

Maybe our pensioners should apply as refugees!

Let's send this thought to as many Canadians as we can and maybe we can get
the refugees cut back to $1,012.00 and the pensioners up to $2,470.00 , so
they can enjoy the money they were forced to submit to the Canadian
government for those 40 to 50 years.

That's a very good point.

we shouldn't allow any freeloading refugees into the country

As stated earlier Canada post sucks.

So they ate a package of mine from supplementscanada.com and when i went to the post office they said oh its out for delivery. So i rushed back home and waited all day only for them to never show up. I went on the online tracking number they gave me and it says item out for delivery as of last thrusday. Which is kinda bull crap cause on wednesday they told me it is already out for delivery. So its monday today and still no pacakge, which even if they really sent it out for delivery on thursday is till unacceptable.

So i email em(after being put on hold for nearly half an hour) and this is what i get back:

"***THIS IS AN AUTOREPLY. PLEASE DO NOT REPLY TO THIS E-MAIL*** This is to acknowledge receipt of your message to Canada Post. We are currently experiencing a rapid increase in e-mail requests from our customers. This has caused delay in our ability to respond promptly to your request. The average time to respond is now 3 business days. Thank you for your patience and understanding."

So to sum it up they stated they ship stuff in 1-3 business days when you pay for xpress, yet it has been 8 days and they havent delievered, and their friggin customer service thing sucks cause they either put you on hold via phone or tell you to wait 3 days via email.

So again f*** CANADA POST!

I would have been better off buying the stuff from GNC or somewhere or not maxing my cerdit out for the month on this order and spending it on something else.

How do you guys suggest i handle this situation? Contact the retailer and tell em to refund my order since it never reached in the promised time and let em deal with canadapost or go to the post office again and ask for refurbishment of my funds and more for all the time of mine they wasted?

Do you find the steroids give you mood swings??

No they dont its all mental. Placebo effect if you will.

Dude i ordered Fish oil, Greens+(a concetrated veggie mix) and Organic meal bars, not steriods! Besides the point isnt to criticize the supplement industry but rather how should i handle the situation? What would you do if canada post failed to deliver, would you complain to the retailer or the post office?

I'd say, unless there was some mix-up with the retailer that you're not aware of, you have to complain to Canada Post. If you paid for express and you're still sitting here 8-9 days later with no package, that's unacceptable.

On another note, anyone else here watch 24? I just started two weeks ago and I'm already hooked. Now we get the return of Elisha Cuthbert.

Awesome, I think today is gonna be a 2 hour show.

24 > your favorite drama

I haerd it was split up, like 8-9 and 10-11. Weird way to get people to watch whatever crap they put on in between. 24 and House are the two best shows on TV.

It was the Apprentice. I'm not watching it, just because going from 24 to Apprentice (despite the fact that I think it's one of the better reality shows on TV) is like going from a Biggie Smalls song to a Puff Daddy song.

Like the song that uses the Kashmir riff and he goes "I will bite you, I will fight you." What a great threat! He's going to bite me!

RIP KIRBY PUCKETT...46 yrs old, thats still pretty young.

What about that new show that's getting all of the rave.. Grey's Anatomy. What's the fuss about? Anybody seen the show?

I've seen it. It's not a bad show. Kind of like ER with some Friends, minus a lot of the funny.

it's a chick show.

there's a guy on greys anatomy that i'm told i look like

Is it the dreamy guy?

Ahem. I think you mean McDreamy

Finally Canada post came over today when i wasnt around, and left me a note to come pickup the package after 1pm tomorrow at a near by post office.

I though still stand by my opinion of screw canada post and am waiting for the day UPS and other companies make it big in Canada and we dont have to depend on the post's crappy service anymore.

does anyone know how to download videos from google video? I downloaded a few clips but they are .gvp (google video player) and i can't convert them to .avi or .mpeg4... Can anyone help me with this?

Did you chose the download for windows/mac option or video ipod?

Anyway mine DL in AVI, did you try using VLC to view .gvp files?

^i downloaded the windows/mac option. How do i download the video ipod version?

To the right of the download button there is a drop down option box/button that by default reads "windows/mac" however if you click on it you can replace the formatt to video Ipod (which you can always view in quicktime).

If you still cant figure it out tell me which exact video you need in Avi and i will send it to you.

^thanks mjfan...i figured it out, but it turns out the video i wanted isn't available in .avi

The sexiest ride ever.



And ofcourse, the ugliest ride ever.

I'd take a Ford GT over an Eclipse any day....

Dude the Lambos and the Porsche Gt in that game are far better looking.

^ That they are for sure. But I dont have the McLaren Benz SLR (whatever it is) and the GT unlocked yet. Still on blacklist # 3.

So you wanna see my prettier cars eh?



Gotta keep the lambo looking stock



Had this in 2 colors.










The big one





ANd for all my Grand Theft Auto 3 fans... how many of you had a supra in the game?

VC15...what game is that?

^ Its Need For Speed Most Wanted man. If you dont have it, its highly recommended bruh. Good Game.

When you do unlock the GT and SLR and also get your BMW GTR back you are in for the best pursuit run in the game. Cross for five full minutes!

The GTR


That pursuit i was talking about


The SLR


The GT

I cant wait for Cross man. What is it about his vette that's special? Is it indestructible? Im at heat level 5 but haven't actually had my car chased by those vette's yet. I was at the bus station on top of those buses. Hey, do you even know about the bus station?? When you get on top of those buses and cops go crazy but cant get you. I once had 1,600,000 bounty. If you dont know, you should try it. All you have to care about is cops coming from the back but otherwise your set. You just sit there on the buses and even the chopper cant get you! And when you do see cops coming towards you from the back, you just let them come real close to your car and you just drive off the buses and hit RESET. Your back on top the buses again

^ LMAO that could have saved me a whole lot of time earning the damn milestones.

Anyway yeah man you cant kill Cross without a serious hit. I rammed into him at 200 something with the M3 GTR he rolled over but didnt die. The vettes and even the level 4 or is it 5 Lambos with him are totally destructible. But dont worry about killing em, just run for 5 minutes Mia calls you and gives you a location you need to reach and end the chase. Its not too hard, but its more Fun then anything else (well aside from your bus trick which i havent tried yet).

I rented Need 4 Speed Most Wanted from BlockBuster (for a week).

The game starts really slow, with all these crappy cars. Those are some nice cars u shown VC15.

Does anyone know any cheats for NFS Most Wanted, cuz i know i ain't gonna be able to unlock all those nice cars in a week?

I doubt they have cheats to unlock all cars. You have to beat the blacklist rivals. I was lookin for a cheat to get extra cash but they aint got any.

http://www.gamewinners.com/playstation2/Ne...dMostWanted.htm

They have some cheats there.

I HEARTILY reccomend Dave Chappelle's Block Party...it's hilarious and the actual performances kick so much ass

yo bruh

I hate how it hasn't come to my city yet. Who decided Aquamarine would make more money?

Thanks, its been 3 days since i got need for speed most wanted.. and right now i am at the 10th person on the blacklist.

For You Car Buffs

Worlds Most Expensive Cars

^oh man...if i had a million dollars.

Whats sad is Eric Williams could buy any one of those cars.

:'(

...or if you were Tim Thomas, you could buy 16.

question of the evening, how is everyone gonna celebrate tomorrow, which is game 2 of the ncaa tournament, st patricks day and a friday (and 3 days before my birthday)?

i'm gonna get my schoolwork out of the way as fast as possible, go to the dentist, then get some green pants to wear with my green shirt and hat, then go get a 60 of jameson irish whiskey and let the evening unfold from there

My band is actually doing a small 2 song gig at a variety show at my college...we're doing That's Entertainment by The Jam and The Way it Was by the Brian Jonestown Massacre.

Suff_Boy!!! U a musician?? What do you play??

Electric Bass...I'm really nervous cause I'm doing backup vocals and harmonies and I've never sung before, much less while playing an instrument in front or like 500 people
