Look what I just found [grin][grin]

[MaryZezItsOnlyJustNovember]

I've been looking for it for ages.

It's SGM's "I'm a Canadian Thread".

I know this is the wrong place, but I want to be able to find it again, so sorry Trills.

[snurks]

Proper funny thread.

I wonder did the OP ever make it to Canada?

Thanks for the link MaryZ, that thread was hilarious !

Marking my place to read the thread later, am intrigued!

They don't make 'em like that anymore! How did I manage to miss this one first time round?

HOWL!!!!!!

I AM CANADIAN - classic loved the way soooo many posts were deleted

Im getting an ad at the side now asking do I want help with immigration. Spooky internet!

And having flonced off, she's back for another go!

Priceless.

I was going to sort my washing out but ended up reading that thread did make me chuckle.

I wonder if they ever got to Canada??

Thanks for that MaryZ.

But seriously,
And for her poor OH and kids .
What a 'mare!

Bit mean to have bullied her over her spelling...but gosh she just would not let it go!

Honestly,I'm the same age the OP was then and I would react like that. Touchy in the extreme!

To be fair Alis, no-one said anything about her spelling until she got very sarky. And told everyone about her maths degree. And boasted about an awful lot of other things.

I've bookmarked that for the morning and am skim reading now.

I love that the OP insists that British workers work harder than Canadian's over and over again, yet we British are renowned for taking work for granted and generally being a bit lazy in the workforce by our own standards. I dread to think what Canadian standards must be like then if Brits are known as hard workers there

Blimey. That thread is bonkers

Thanks for reposting the link; it had completely passed me by. I am a proud Canadian citizen (by choice), although I still work just as hard as I did when I was merely a British ex-pat .

Oh that was ACE. I am stuck in hospital and can't sleep and very bored. That has cheered me right up.

Ha, I'd forgotten about that one. It really should be in classics :)

Norty Mary!
Love that thread.

I thought the thread was really unpleasant to be honest, and the delight taken in piling in on the unreasonable but also deluded OP is really juvenile. She says the most ridiculous things, but after a point she backs herself into a corner. It would have been kinder to just back off there. For it to be linked to two years later is harsh (albeit an AIBU in a public forum).

Didn't find the punchline funny either. Smacks of an exclusive in-joke that it should be considered such a 'classic'. [disappointed]

Ah, this is my favourite bit: "if you were originally born in Canada"

Was SGM reborn in the UK?

how funny..

It's not me!

We have only been here 18 months and have one DS, who is 10 months old. I'm a law graduate and can type in full sentences.

Oh god. She's not here is she? Please tell me she didn't make it! What an embarrassment to the rest of us. We're not all like her.

Thanks so much Mary, I've have heard about it many times but never actually seen it. It's priceless - why did it never get to Classics? did no-one nominate it? We should make sure we do now.

YummyMummy really was a bit of a loon wasn't she? I love the way SGM even tried to help her out with some useful advice about emigration towards the end of the thread even after the way she'd been spoken to.

'Oh for Christ's sake. You people are sooo annoying. STFU please.'

What, all of us? It's not just you then? What a frigging loon.

I did feel a bit sad for her in bits, but pretty quickly changed my mind!

Sorry to say it but it did at times feel like all the big girls were ganging up on the new girl then others who wouldn't normally be so confident were jumping in almost seeking approval from them and they were being nasty whilst the oldies were keeping it clean iykwim.
The Canadian bit was hilarious though.
