Are canadians boring?
 
are they really?

Sven Sixtoo 1st September 2005 23:07

Boring is OK

Boring mostly doesn't make enemies around the world.

Boring mostly gets on pretty well with lots of people.

Boring is pretty low on front-page news, like swindling, lying, cheating.

Being nice to people doesn't make headlines - boring!

And they play a game where they hit a little black thing around on ice and mostly you can't even see it. How boring is that?;)

My wife is Canadian. For the last 27 years, she has not been boring. Her sister is also Canadian and she's a riot...as are all those NB inlaws.

My favorite FO's wife is also Canadian and she's not boring...neither are her BC relatives.

Of course, when my wife and I got married, I did have to buy her a pair of shoes so she didn't come to the church barefoot. She didn't have indoor plumbing for the first few years of her life, but you should see her bathroom now.

Boring ? ...no...

No indoor plumbing? She used to be a man?

The closer to an ocean you get in Canada the less boring we become:ok:

NZLeardriver,

A man ? Not that I can tell so far.

Are Canadians boring? No more so than anybody else. In fact, come to think of it, Canadians are amongst the most un-boring people I have come across. (And good fun to have a drink with)

MarkD 3rd September 2005 01:42

well, my missus is quite unboring (although a couple of years in Aberdeen helped :D)

on the whole Canada works as advertised - US with a sense of humour and banter and (bonus) better spelling. :D :ok:

My God I've got to let my Canuck see this.

They're not boring... just different.
1. She didn't see the sea until she was 13.
2. It takes an 18 hour drive to buy milk.
3. Every statement is a question, 'ay?

(Selling my house at the minute, viewers go upstairs, I look in the hall, shoes left there, yip they were Canucks)

Darling, if you read this don't get mad dear, at least I didn't say you were sort of American.

It's spelt 'eh?' at the end of the sentence, and can you really blame us? Just look at how we spell our country's name!

C-eh?-N-eh?-D-eh?

LEMD 4th September 2005 22:34

Need2fly.

That's a good one I haven't heard that one before!

Just look at all the great Canadian comedians, Mike Meyers, Martin Short, John Candy (R.I.P) etc, not to mention the HOT women, Pam Anderson, etc. How could we be boring?

Been here a week and not met any boring Canadaians yet... I'll be on the look out though.

I did have a friend who is coming to visit ask: 'what are the American Juniors like', but I don't see the resembelance.

Canadians do seem to love a good bit*h about American politics, never a boring conversation!

Gerhardt 7th September 2005 02:58

Wait, is this like the question my wife poses at least once a week?

"honey, do I look fat?"

Nah, she always looks great. So yeah, you guys are just fine.

er340790 7th September 2005 20:49

Yes you're all very boring - though in the nicest possible way!

rotornut 8th September 2005 10:37

Another boring Canadian:

And I'll tell you about another very un-boring Canadian I came across yesterday, downstairs in the St Lawrence Market in Toronto, a most un-boring young lady serving coffee in the small coffee stall there. She was so unboring I required myself to stay for about six double expresso's. Made sleeping for the night duty to come back home a bit difficult.

newswatcher 9th September 2005 10:24

I understand that Canadians have been doing a lot of boring in British Columbia recently, especially for natural gas!:D :D

N Arslow 21st September 2005 12:58

Montreal is great for boring too:ok:

brucelee 21st September 2005 13:39

This thread boring. We really do need to get a life.:(
