Quebec City vs Las Vegas
by PrancingSkeleton- 17 replies
- 1.3k views
As an avid hockey fan, I've been following the NHL expansion very closely. It seems that the two cities who are competing for a team are Quebec City and Las Vegas. Personally, I'd really like to see Quebec City get the Nordiques back. I'd love to see the fierce rivalry between them and the Canadiens. Yes, Quebec City is a smaller city than Las Vegas, but Quebec has the fans. If you have ever visited Quebec, or anywhere in Canada, especially during the playoffs or Olympics (double double Canadiangold btw for all the Team USA fans), that's all they talk about. When Canada was down 2-0 against the USA with 15 minutes left, my French teacher cancelled the rest of his class so…

"Get your ass up Sparkplug!" the big man ordered as he kick the young boy off the bed into the wall, and slammed into the floor. "How'd... I get.... down..... here?" Spark questioned as he looked up, and across the room "Blokk, oh... I guess.... my..... ribs are....... hurting thanks to..... you?" "We had a meeting and your here sleep, where have you been the last two days?" "Nowhere boss, I had family issues ok-" "-Stop lying! I said no more side jobs, what the fuck did you do?" Blokk stated as a female peeked into the room, holding a gold phone, as he grabbed it and stuck it to his ear "Who dis?" he answered, listening to the dark gurgling voice, " -are you sure…

Country vs City 1 2

Where would you rather live? Close, or in a major city, or away from it, towards the country? There are many pros and cons for living in each area and I'm curious to see what you guys prefer and why and where you actually live now. I grew up very close to the city and have been there all my life. I have also lived in a ski town for 4 months on 2 separate occasions, which is usually a country town but obviously very busy with tourists during peak season and I loved it there. The older I have gotten, the more I realised that I hate the city and pretty much everything about it. I've always thought of eventually moving to the country at one point or another and the main th…

Now that my backyard is done, you all no longer have to hear me whining and complaining about how ugly it was. Not like any of you really cared anyway because you didn't have to look at that eye sore everyday. Our yards are fairly small in Las Vegas compared to others around the country/world. We had a blank canvas to start with since our home was new construction. BEFORE: See? SUPER FUGLY! I had to live with this disaster for almost three years. Where's my award for patience and tolerance? AFTER: Now I get to go patio furniture shopping!! Since we are in the desert, we opted for a smaller patch of grass. It's about 400 sq ft worth,…

We are all only human and sometimes make mistakes, although some more than others This thread is to share some silly mistakes you have made I will start by what inspired me to make this thread, it's not that bad, but I rarely make mistakes (at least that's what I think haha), and this is a stupid simple mistake that in hind site, you go what the hell was I thinking!? Last night I cooked some rissoles in a frying pan and there was a bit of oil (or so I thought) left in the bottom of the pan. I poured it into the sink, over some other dishes as well. I was trying to get some burnt bits of the non stick pan before they stuck.. It turned out to be fat or grease, and I s…

About a month ago, my daughter went to Disneyland with her choir class from school. When she came back, she had this rash/hives on her chest and arms. The dermatologist said it could've been an allergic reaction to the laundry detergent. As the days and weeks go by, her and my son are complaining about bug bites and I chalk it up to the mosquitos that get in the house sometimes. Well...

Memorial Day plans?
by Jaggy- 1 follower

For our United States members, do you have any plans for Memorial Day? Other than remembering our fallen soldiers, we usually just grill some steak and corn on the cob and relax for the day. If we had family members living closer, I'm sure we'd be having small gatherings at a relatives house. There's a lot of people who use it as a reason to get drunk as hell and endanger everyone on the road by driving, so we tend to just stay home or around the neighborhood. If it's not too hot, we might take the kid's to the park. Otherwise, they can just swim in the backyard.

for Mother's Day then you need to order them MONDAY!! If you wait you may not get them or get exactly what you want because this is the busiest holiday for American and Canadian florists (dunno bout the rest of the world). Be sure to order them from a real florist and not a box shipper like 1800flowers, proflowers, etc.. FTD and Teleflora are not florists, they merely pass the orders onto real florists but at a price... If you need help in figuring out what to get you can always call our shop and we can help you out so you know what to order. Or you can order thru us and we can send the order to a florist closest to you. (cheaper to order from your florist rather than…

249Rate the Last Film you Watched 2: Electric Boogaloo
Operation Mincemeat (2021) dir John Madden A WWII film focussing the efforts of British intelligence to trick Germany into thinking an upcoming major operation was going to happen somewhere else, so that they diverted defending forces away from the actual location. The basics are a true story. The characters are mainly the real people who were involved. It has a great ensemble cast. The main characters are two officers working for MI5, one from the navy and one from the air force, played by Colin Firth and Matthew McFadden, with Kelly MacDonald and Penelope Wilton playing their civilian assistants. It also features Johnny Flynn as the young Lt. Ian Fleming who narrates some scenes in a style that could well have been passages from his James Bond novels. You could, at a big stretch, almost class this as Bond film since it features characters referred to as M (head of MI5, Jason Issacs) and Q-branch (the gadget inventor, James Fleet). Simon Russel Beale also puts in a great performance as Winston Churchill. I have heard of Operation Mincemeat, knew the basics of it, that Ian Fleming was involved and what the outcome was. I don't think it's a spoiler to say the plan worked, as various characters in the film say that if it doesn't the allies won't win the war. The plan was to take the body of recently deceased man, a Welshman living rough in London called Glyndwr Michael, dress him in an officer's uniform, attach a brief case containing fake, but apparently top-secret documents, and then release it from a submarine such that it would wash up on a Spanish beach. Spain was neutral in WWII but under the regime of the Fascist, pro-n*zi, General Franco. So British intelligence knew that the contents of the brief case should find their way into the hands of German agents, before being returned to Britain, and thus the fake information would find it's way to Berlin. The operation they were planning for was the allied invasion of Italy, then Germany's ally. The fake information was one part of bigger plan to convince the Germans it was occupied Greece that was going to be invaded. The subsequent invasion of Italy is one of the lesser known parts of the war. Much is made, quite rightly, of the D-day landings, but that was not the first invasion of German controlled Europe, it was this invasion of Italy, nearly a year earlier. So it's nice to see a film about this aspect of the war, because there aren't very many of them. The film shows the meticulous level of detail the agents went to, creating a whole fake identity, Major William Martin, along with personal letters, a photo of a fiancé, etc. The plot does come across somewhat unbelievable at times and includes a completely unnecessary romantic sub-plot. Even if some of that is what actually happened, the way the films portrays this comes across as if the producers wanted to “s*x it up” and add these elements in because they thought the story of the planning and execution of the operation was not interesting enough. I was all set to give this a lower score than I did, but the last 30 mins or so redeemed it a little. What I found really interesting was, after the the plan had been put into action, the role British diplomats in Spain then had to play to make sure that the brief case of fake documents did indeed end up in German hands. Because after all the detailed and careful planning, it could have easily been undone by a Spanish official simply handing the brief case straight back to Britain, as was technically the correct thing for a neutral country to do, but not what they were supposed to do according to the pro-German Fascist regime in charge. There's almost none of the action you usually get in war films, until right at the end when we see an American infantry sergeant, a minor character introduced earlier, on board a landing craft, storming a Sicilian beach which was taken and held with relatively light causalities. All due to the success of Operation Mincemeat diverting German forces hundreds of miles away. 6 / 10- 2
