Really seeing the effects of BelAir Direct's virtual monopoly on car insurance in NL this year. Insurance up this renewal by $120. My wife and I are both more than 25 years claims free, both over 55, driving 7 and 8 year old cars, less than 8,000km a year each.

I don't have my glasses on, but definitely read that as crudité.

I don't understand the "incentive pay" which is in addition to their massive salaries. You shouldn't need to get incentive pay to do your job.

Getting better at this latte art thing. The tail is just because I have a bit of milk left over and a bit of empty cup to put it in.

Latte in a wide mouthed light blue mug, with black rim, showing gorgeous crema and a heart shaped poured art that actually looks pretty decent IMO.

yes, govt issued photo ID with your name and address (so drivers license the easiest). But I think advance polls are over, but that will apply for election day too.

St. John's, looking out towards Cabot Tower in the distant background. Trees, changing to fall colours in the foreground, large pond in the middle of the photo.

Just read a MUN advisory referring to Petro-Canada Hall in the School of Music. It hasn't been called that in 12 years. 😆

I grew up in England (first 31 years) and have lived in Canada for 26 years. I would use the same mixed spelling as you in this example.

Speaking of at least very local representation, they now have some truly great candidates. It could indeed be time for a switcheroo.

Looks like Google is drinking a bit too much of that AI.

I’m sure it’ll get put down as an administrative error. 🙄

Really not a good idea. While it is funny, it gives them valid reason to call everything that shows them in a bad light, fake.

The disappointment of finding out that your 6 in 1 shampoo can't be used to wash your clothes, is immeasurable, even when you did get it on sale for $2.99.

I know that this time he failed, but you have to admit, he's normally pretty expert at losing.

Looks like Brazil has turned his pub into an Embassy or something. Can't spell tongues.

McNiven's Pub in Airport Heights now sporting Canadian and Newfoundland flags. Cod tongues is misspelt on both sides of the "specials" sign.

Plumbed in my espresso machine today. This has been a project living rent free in my head for way too long thanks to the incompatibility of European to North American plumbing fittings. I have yet to do the waste side of things, but at least that's just regular old ABS pipe.
