If you ever wanted to know the meaning of the phrase 'stocking of shite' please click here
Buying a pub, just so you can bar the man you assaulted and had to apologise to from drinking there.
That's a proper 12 on the cunt scale.

Signs, signs, everywhere there's signs... Everywhere in downtown Listowel, at least. And they're at war.

The Register: New IETF draft reveals Egyptians invented pyramids to sharpen razor blades
tl;dr: Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) drafts are not normative.

Auto scrapyard a mecca for photographers
Quote:Unlike most commercial auto recyclers, the Eastern Ontario Boneyard, 80 kilometres south of downtown Ottawa near Highway 401 and the St. Lawrence River, has gone out of its way to to save historically interesting cars from the crusher, holding onto hundreds of classic and unusual autos since the 1960s.
With more than 400 decaying vintage automobiles spread across 20 hectares, the site has become a mecca for photographers, with an esthetic somewhere between haunting and enchanting.
That means most visitors today are more likely to be looking for a photograph of a '56 Chevy than a windshield for one.
Photography on "designated days" only.
