Well, you appear to be somewhat aware of your surroundings. Either that or you had a Canadian feeding you the answers (and giving you the wrong one every so often, just for grins).
By the way, I can't believe you don't follow lacrosse.
Here's your score: 93
Wow. Pierre Berton, Peter Gzowski, Stompin' Tom, Pierre Trudeau, Bob & Doug, Anne of Green Gables and Rush all rolled into one. You make Dudley Do-Right look like Uncle Sam. Prepare for immediate idolization at home and a lucrative career in the states.

Well, with some Quebecois, Cree, Point Grey Blue Blood, and Albertan in me, I guess this is OK.
And a Chesterfield is a fur-trimmed wool coat, isn't it?Here's your score: 91

Happily tooting when my dogs let me.

- Tell us something.: Just updating my profile after 16+ years of C&F membership. Sold most of my flutes, play the ones I still own and occasionally still enjoy coming here and read about flute related subjects.

Respectably Canadian. And really what more do you want? Really ought not to presume too much. That just wouldn't be right.
By the way, I can't believe you don't follow lacrosse.

Good to know
After moving from Holland to Denmark with my wife, we jokingly said that if I couldn't feel at home there we would move to a country that would be foreign to both of us: Canada...
Don't think I will ever get her to emigrate again though

Apart from a pretty tangential relationship with football and cricket I don't really follow sport much. Having read all the above posts I've just caved in at last and am now looking up "lacrosse" in a dictionary.
"Last night, among his fellow roughs,
He jested, quaff'd and swore."
They cut me down and I leapt up high
I am the life that'll never, never die.
I'll live in you if you'll live in me -
I am the lord of the dance, said he!
He jested, quaff'd and swore."

Ah, it's that one where you chuck something around with a fishing net. Is it a game that started in Canada? At least it's one up on that rather strange phenomenon American football, the chief aims of which are apparently to look as ridiculous as possible and to beat each other up.SteveShaw wrote:Apart from a pretty tangential relationship with football and cricket I don't really follow sport much.

Don't forget American football's other function of helping participants to re-learn how to walk with an archaic simian gait.SteveShaw wrote:Ah, it's that one where you chuck something around with a fishing net.

One of my grandmothers (from a town between Windsor and Chatham) always called it a davenport. The other grandmother ( from about 50 miles east of Sarnia) called it a chesterfield. This gets me wondering about how many words there are for this piece of furniture. Growing up we called it a sofa or couch. I know other people who call it a divan. I guess you could also say chaise longue. It's enough to give a guy sofa identity confusion!JS wrote:"Davenport," eh? I grew up with that one too.
