That's not really fair though because there are very few hockey fans in Toronto, just a bunch of Leafs fans.The Rock count more than a farm team league.(also, having been to both Rock and Marlies playoff games, the Rock has better attendance)

El Fordo has given up on his weight loss challenge.
Anyone surprised?

Wait, what?
The scale was costing too much money. Had to cut it.

This city is going to drive him to a nervous breakdown.

The point at which this city takes glee in ruining a person is the point at which I'll just give up on humanity entirely.
Having the guy give up and resign as mayor is one thing, destroying his life by badgering him about his weight and lifestyle is just petty and way, way below the Toronto I know and love.

He brought it on himself, he made his weight challenge a big deal and then gave up after a few weeks, it says a lot about his character
On the one hand, I agree. I wouldn't wish the guy ill or something.
On the other hand, he isn't doing himself any favours and had painted himself a terrible picture to others.
I'm off today, and ant to go cycling. I hope it doesn't rain. I'm O.K with thunderstorms, makes everything fresh and coo. Humid rain is sticky and gross, feels like you are in a sauna.

It's the humidity that makes it suck. Dry heat between 25-30 is awesome.
Not to mention it makes cleaning your chain afterwards a PITA
Agree.
Bingo. I absolutely hate the humidity. So glad that I don't live down in the Niagara Peninsula anymore, that suuuuucked.

Oh, I don't take glee in seeing him ruined. But, he's never going to resign. He'll never give up in that sense.
He's stubborn in all the wrong ways. He'll give up on something that requires actual effort (lose weight? read this 200 page report? nope), but he'll never give up if all it requires is him slamming his fist on a table and getting all red-faced for the camera, repeating ideological catch phrases over and over.

Too bad this never, ever happens in Toronto.
I'm halfway there, sort of. More pink than darker in general, though.
Heat's not bad since I'm indoors, but I can still feel the heat seeping through since I'm sitting by a window.

Hey guys, I just wanted to share something. A buddy of mine recently decided to make the switch from cable TV to OTA (over the air) to save money and he said it was pretty damn awesome. Quality wise anyways.
I went over to his place to check it out and the quality is crazy good. Some channels are cleaner than the Rogers HD (which he had before). It has all the basic channels.. so essential channels in HD minus sports channels. So if you don't watch sports very often, it's definitely a good investment. He had it installed for a one-time fee of $300 through some RFD promo, so I'm not sure if it's still going on or not. But I checked their site and it says $350.
So yeah, just wanted to share since it sounded like a good deal. I heard it's cheaper to do it yourself, but at the cost (time) of labour + being on my roof with no experience.. uhh.. yeah no... I'd happily pay for it.
I'm considering making the switch myself after the Euros are done LOL
Oh and here's the site if anybody is interested: http://skytune.ca/

My brother put his OTA antenna up on his roof in Brampton a couple of years ago after having it by his glass sliding door for years. His neighbour gave him a hand doing it because I was too lazy to drive to his house.

I'd love to know how, "I dont care about the weigh-in, Im not even dieting anymore," was taken out of context.

The same way his DUI was taken out of context?

LOL, you're terrible
Anybody know what the cheapest mobile phone plan is?
I absolutely need the following:
- Unlimited Text
- Free Evenings and weekends (free incoming would be awesome)
- Caller ID, Call waiting, etc...
- 100 anytime minutes
Right now, the closest one is the one from Wind. My contract runs out in August, so I really want to find the best one available.
Any help would be greatly appreciated
Man, I am on a cost-saving tear! Made the switch from Rogers Internet to Teksavvy, renegotiated my cable TV (although I'll probably switch later this year), and (most likely) will go with Wind for my cellphone plan. Feels good, man.

Yup, go with wind.
Oh for real? I can't port my Fido number over? It's a 647 and I don't want to contact everyone to tell them that my number has been switched. It's a pain in the ass.
Thank you!

Porting your existing phone number to a different carrier is a legally protected right
Thanks!
Has anyone done this? I wonder how rocky the process is with Rogers.
I need to change from them like ages ago. Seems we have to get a WIND number first then port over the old, basically running two accounts at once?
Also how good is the coverage + will I automatically hop onto other networks with a blackberry/smartphone when in USA or other countries?

Yea, when I was in the US I switched to T-Mobile right away and in St Maarten I had a choice of several

You go into the a store and tell them you want to switch over. They will start the porting process and handle everything as well as assign you a temporary number to use for the few hours it takes to complete the process.
Coverage is good. The only times it has been spotty has been when I've been on the very border of the coverage zone in Milton, Richmond Hill, and Oshawa.

I'm still in the U.S. of A - but I just had to check in with a Toronto photo of the day. This is one of the best photos I've ever seen:
