A Canadian minute is equivalent to 5.6 of your Earth minutes, based on how long it takes an average Canadian to give directions to the nearest library.

Originally posted by kevcvs57Say that is a sticky wicket isn't it? Sorry for you situation but we would welcome you here with open arms and talk your ears off. We really, really like to talk aboot the weather, speaking of which we've been encased in a heat wave (up until about 2 days ago) that would rival that of Bombay or is it Mumbia now. Hey why'd they change it anyway? Ooooops there I go. I'm soo stuck on being Canadian even though I wasn't born here but in Scotland. Hang on GBS that's a lot of personal Info. STOP.

Recently we have been stuck under umbrellas n helicopters in the worst places, we dream of the sticky heat of summer. We get far to much weather.
I wondered about the name, I believe in Scotland they are still called stanes.
