Well, there ain't no Candy Shop a la 50cents in there, but, in French, here is a classic from Georges Brassens, Le mauvais sujet repenti (from 1964), http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9mVqzZxKZmI; as well, his La complainte des filles de joie (1961) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d9dWmijny2U and a lesser known one La fille à cent sous (1961)http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K8z6Kb3GPyM). Moving forward in time, Thomas Fersen has something for the ladies of the night, as I know of three songs all about Ladies of the night, or with clear allusion: Louise (1995) ; Ou trouver des fleurs le lundi soir après minuit (1997); and Les papillons (1997)http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AcbOkZd6SVw. While Brassens's songs are coloured by the grinding poverty of the post-war 40s and 50s, Fersen's tend to be recollections from his years of (compulsory) military service. Both have a thing for SW and umbrellas.

Well, money talks! Anyhow, from what I've heard, BP was founded in Edmonton, so playoffs are out of the picture. Mind you, their HQ are now in Vancouver, so the Cup is in the cards this year. Meanwhile, it might be that Meg may have to discard her Bruins jersey real soon, not that we mind when she takes off her clothing! toine, a BBR fan

Jenny reigns all over Barb's, she is the hottest gal in the club!

Indeed, I had the pleasure of meeting Bridgette on this miserable cold and rainy day. I left the club with a smile on my face, and a warm glow from this little ray of sunshine.

Well, you have one more day in Ottawa to see her. Otherwise, it's Calgary for you! Mind you, Calgary is a fine city to visit!

One advantage of the SAQ.com website is that it will list all Outaouais stores' current stock at once. For the Graham's six grapes half bottle, at $13, the SAQ by the casino 'as of now' has 16 bottles. The LCBO retails it for $11.45 but currently appears to be out of it in Ottawa-downtown, Ottawa-Nepean or Ottawa-Orleans... BTW, when searching on SAQ, look for PORTO (as in Portolover lol), not just PORT.

I resisted reading this thread until today, and I must say that I found most posts remarkably civil and broadly well-informed. I'll keep my opinions for myself, at least for now, but here are some points I noted. Information on the Vote Compass can be found here votecompass.ca. While it may be in need of further fine-tuning (or a good old shake lol), it has been built with the advice of some of the most well-known Canadian political scientists specialized in analysing voting patterns: Professors André Blais (U. de Montréal), Elisabeth Gidengil (McGill U.), Richard Johnston (UBC) and Neil Nevitte (U. of Toronto). As for voter turnout in 2008, or other time, statistics can be found here: http://www.elections.ca/content.aspx?section=ele&dir=turn&document=index&lang=e The trend of the past twenty years does not look good. As for most male cerbites leaning on the conservative side, I got the feeling the issue is not that clear cut. Yes, many have voiced support for the Conservative Party (no signs of the PC anymore, these days are long-gone), but about as many have voiced support for the Liberals and NPD. Can't wait to watch the Leaders' debates.

...and according to information found on the web, it would be a literary hoax, written in the late 1920s by a woman writer with a dadaiste bent. A few clues suggest it is a hoax, such as le branlage a la mouche, simply too far-fetched... I must admit I admire the nom d'artiste in this instance: Marcelle LAPOMPE. She must be good with the glougloutage.

I'm into single malts as well, mostly peaty ones such as lagavullin and laphroaig. I must admit I sometimes put a small ice cube in the glass, but purists will say that a very small drop of quality water (spring or from a very good municipal watersystem) is all that is needed. Getting drunk on whisky is quite special as it may lead to blackouts, which happened to me twice. No fun to deal afterward with friends' stories regarding this or that misbehaving episode one has no memory about (though I sort of recall that before blacking out I was already a handfull!) and no ground to say whether the stories are true or not.

As others, I want to thank you for your humourous and well written posts. Looking forward to the next 1000!

The machine does do a good job, overall, but there are also in all instances a few things that just don't work, and it makes for a good laugh. The best is to go back and forth, for example English to French back to English and compare the version! Cheap fun on a quiet Friday evening.

Typically, an office clerk in a high school will have limited interactions with students, and very-very likely none whatsoever that is not supervised or not in broad sight of everyone else in school. I'd doubt her contract would have contain a morality clause; unlikely for clerical workers in a public school, though possible (but not that likely) for others such as teachers and principals who are more widely expected to be role models for kids.

I was watching the news a few minutes ago, and they interviewed students from the high-school where she worked. The kids appeared unanimous in stating that what she did outside work is nobody's business but her own. Now, it appears she's been dismissed 'with cause', and without a lump-sum payment. Correct me if I'm wrong, but it would also mean that this mother of two would have to make do without any Employment Insurance benefits as well...

Nightflight, I can't agree more with you, and I am happy to see someone else is praising Ashlynn for her friendliness. It felt sort of lonely out there: http://www.cerb.ca/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=39119

Justine: We are all looking forward to hearing about your chosen location. Best

...and there is always the really pretty Jessica. Look at SA's enthusiastic recco here http://www.cerb.ca/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=30038.

Can't say I recall her name at CMJ, but check out her pics here on CERB, you'll see how gorgeous she is, and likely will recognize her.

Well, they come, they go, we like them because they are free spirits, among other qualities.

As a general rule, I do not reveal my cerb handle to the ladies I see. It means I can write (or not) reco's with all the required sincerity. I can understand why some SPs may suggest that a reco be written. Self-employed workers, like the ladies on CERB, depend on recognition to manage advertising costs and cover substantial operating costs associated with hotel rooms, etc. As with anything, there are better and worse ways to suggest that a reco be written, if the experience was good. On a different note, I have never had any lady asking for a reco, directly or indirectly, even among those to whom I had revealed I am on CERB. I have no problem whatsoever praising SPs who were nice to me. I have no illusion regarding my looks or personality, and I truly appreciate the ladies' capacity to be warm, friendly and giving when with me. I also attempt to convey this in my reco's, not details about the encounter, but the ability to establish that special connection with someone... Beyond the reco's counts, no one can last long in this world without providing a really nice experience. I also agree that attraction is as much intellectual as physical, and there are some ladies here on CERB whose contributions shine and make them so bloody hot. Lastly, this topic has come in various forms over the past, and repeat reco's are quite valuable...

Never heard her being named Tabitha, nor am I aware of previous locations. From what I know, she has been at Barefax for more than seven years. take care,

Well, there is so much on here about them. What could be added through PM?

Tabby is a great lady, very nice to be with, a real sweetheart! Does she still do her tricks with matches?

These days I wear either Dolce&Gabanna the one or Armani Code
