to wonder when some of you lot sleep?

[sapphireblue]

well am I? Posts all through the night......1am, 2am, 3am. Is there a large vampire community on MN or are you all in foreign lands?

I`m originally from Croydon so there are good things about being in Canada (less knife crime and scariness). I miss curry and mean comedy though. Actually went to see a British comic here tonight. He lost a few people (with the word twat mainly, I think!).

LOL, Katey, that's funny. I couldn't get all the intense patriotism during winter olympics, used to make fun of it all the time.

I also told one woman when she asked me whether DD was going to preschool yet (she's only fricking 2.5 yo) with a straight face... 'of course not, I believe the education system brainwashes kids, so we are going to leave her illiterate instead!!' Didn't go down well that either :)

My 2.5 DD goes to preschool

Sydney's Northern Beaches here.

I find it weird but wonderful how I can post in the middle of my day here and get helpful answers back from the middle of your night. I don't know WHY you are all up at 3am but am often pathetically grateful. I am in NZ.

While likewise I sometimes sit up late in the realy hors with my lousy indigestion chugging on Gaviscon and nattering to people in NZ.

hors = hours

...were going to leave her illiterate instead, Im stealing that!!!

The intense olympic nationalism was a bit scary. I had a girl from the International Red Cross at the door. I signed up because they are great with the homeless here in the winter. The girl said, what I love is that it is Canadians helping Canadians.¸ I informed her that it was the INTERNATIONAL Red Cross and that she might want to listen to people`s accents before she said that in future... Bless her, she was mortified.

Sydney's Northern Beaches, vvvvv jealous.

Sometimes you are in the middle of a arguement discussion and it's been rumbling on for a while and before you know it it's 2.30 am and you are still here.

Or I might be a vampire

Katey, I know what you mean. Whole family with a few friends was in Moxie's having dinner and the waitress was having a huge argument with the American guy in the next table about Canada vs US hockey final. It was quite funny!!

Then as we went to leave, she handed all the kids the Canadian flag and said 'go Canada'... I looked at her as she was passing the flag to DD (who loved the flag by the way)... and said 'she's British actually, don't you have any Union Jacks?)... so the waitress went 'ah, we're all British darling, God save the Queen and all that'.

The rest of the party were all laughing their heads off.

AngelsOnHigh I would love to put DD in preschool (who wouldn't want a few free mornings?), its just that the best preschools here have to have the kids fully potty trained and DD is refusing to even think about it. It was just the way this woman said it, all condescending like...!

DD is potty trained so I guess that's why they took her.

Older DD didn't even go to preschool, but this one is full on and needs the extra stimulation. Very funny child.

I agree, Sydney's Northern beaches, heaven on earth.
