A Freind Of Mine Began Collecting These In 1998. All The While I Told Him He Was Wastimg His Money. After He Got Over 200, I Got My First 3 As Gifts In 2001 I Bought Two More A Year & A Half Later, Then 6 Months After That I Got The Bug. His Collection Now Stands Around 350. I'm Close To 900.
Once You Get The Bug There's No Stopping.
It's Like A Roller Coaster Ride That Won't Stop To Let You Off...

No problem. I'm just glad that it has been cleared up.

... well... now it's only a 4th year since I began to learn so I don't think it's good enough for the public yet. And Il barbiere is also too hard for me at the moment.

Then I'm not the only one... And I should beware of the Bug! If it's not too late already.

I get points for even remembering she lives in Canada...geez. She hasn't posted in months, so I'd forgotten exactly where she lived, seemed to remember Montreal, but that's probably because I've been in touch with Faheem in Montreal. If you can find out about her, if she's even interested in keeping up with the forum, that would be cool. It's a shame when people just drift away, and we have so few women in this hobby, nice to have the female perspective on some of these threads, dilutes the testosterone overflow.

hmm Faheem Lives In Guelph Ontario One Our West Of Toronto.
Jo Is A Buzzerd Always Has Been. I Think She Prefers The Off Topic Banter There.
We Seem To Have More Politics, So I Can't Blame Her. I'll Be She At Least Lurks Now & Again. I See Jo At The Hobby Shows But This Year She Wasn't There, However We Did Meet Up For The Hammerhead Gate Trials.

Well That's Not A Song But An Entire Opera.
I Prefer Rossini Over Guiseppe Verdi, But Both Have Similarities In Thier Style Yet Both Have Very Different Styles As Well.

Tunes From The La Forza del Destino I Like: Ah! per sempre, La Vergine degli angeli, Pace, pace, mio Dio, Cripes There's 50 Songs In This Opera I Can't Even Name Them All.

Back To Basics. Listening To The William Tell Overture Now.

Sure. At the moment I'm singing H. Purcell's Dido's lament (opera Dido and Aeneas). Absolutely gorgeous piece of music!

Ok, ok, I don't know where ANY of you Canucks live, and Montreal IS Canada for me (French Canada, to be sure, but still Canada). I pride myself on a considerable knowledge of geography, but placing individuals based on a short blurb on the profile side bar, I just forget. Heck, Heavy, I think you're in Toronto, but then you could tell me you're from Loup Garreou or something...

I'll Help You Out. Toronto Was Up Until Recently, Divided Into Several Smaller Cities.
Toronto (The Core) York. East York. North York (You Guys Get NEW York) Etibokoke, Rexdale & Scarborough. I Live In Scraborough Which Is In The East End. We Are Now One Amalgamated City Of Toronto Over 3 Million.
Our Airport Lester B Pearson Is Actually In Mississaga.(Malton)

GTA Is Around 5 Million, Which Includes Mississaga, Brampton, Toronto (The Amalgamated Cities Above) Vaughan, Concord, Richmond Hill, Markham, & Pickering.

Loup Garreau? Perhaps You Mean Gatineau Across From Ottawa Which Borders Quebec On The Ottawa River Just East Of Hull.

Loup garreau was a joke. I may not be spelling it right, but it means "werewolf" in French. Now I'm sure not to get lost the next time I visit Toronto, and I'll look you up, Heavy...let's have lunch. Now that we've hijacked Lenka's thread, we probably need to give it back.

..... Once upon a time when I was young (like 30-odd years ago) I lived in Mississauga during the hockey season when I played in the Ontario League, then with the Maple Leaf's practice squad. My thoughts were of hockey, good beer and attractive young ladies then. What a couple severe concussions can do to that! Now I skate in Maple Leaf Gardens only in my memories, but what damned fine memories they were!
..... Took this "Herringchoker" from Nova Scotia a long time to even learn to spell Mississauga. I should have found a place in York.

Since Dave doesn't know you personally, that would be my guess .

Ah! You're Making Fun Of Me! Yes I Do Know How To Spell Mississauga. I Only Forgot To Add The U. I Got Keyboard Issues & I'm Not Going To Buy A New One Until This One Totally Craps Out.
Learned How To Spell Mississauga & Mississippi In Grade 3. Did You Know The Mississpi River Begins In Canada? Lake Itaska In Manitoba Is The Source Of This Great American Icon, Not 50 Miles West Of Grand Rapids Michigan, Travels Through 10 States Some 2,300 Miles To The Gulf Of Mexico.

Yes He's Comparing Spelling Of Mississauga To Lenka. Lenka Is Definitely Easier To Spell.

The French word for werewolf is "loup-garou", pronounced "loo-garoo". Nice, you almost got it.
