I don't typically get involved in these Trump discussions, however in my personal opinion he's an arrogant, self centered, lying tosser. I digress. The new trade deal had few safeguards for manufacturing jobs until the Democrats and the unions added legislation for payscales in Canada and Mexico to ...

Captain Tom's monumental effort was just highlighted on our National news broadcast.

Just watching 2015 cup final Arsenal vs Aston Villa on one of our cable sports channels. I didn't realise Ashley Westwood played in that game.

Trumps press conference last night was worth staying up for. I thought , I’ll give it ten minutes, then another half hour went by. The “total control” bit seems to have done him some damage according to this mornings reports. If you missed it do watch the whole 1 hour plus it goes on for without a ...

Same with our French friend at the Open, was difficult watching I remember that meltdown well, Jean Van de Velde (Van de Choke) at Carnoustie ’99. My golf cronies and myself were watching telly after a round at a local club enjoying a plate of French fries n gravy (chips for those not familiar with...

Greg Norman's capitulation was my favourite. Watched the last round in the back room at The Shooters, cheering everytime the Great White knocked one in the drink. Ya, that was fun to watch as well. If memory serves, Norman was also beaten by a Larry Mize chip in a few years earlier. I wasn't too ch...

Not sure missing a three footer left to right down hill on Augustas 10th green with your whole life ambitions on the line should be considered easy.

That's true, telly doesn't show the undulations very well. Downhillers on greens that fast must be like putting on a hardwood floor

and rightly so, it was a shocker of a miss, as was Floyd's hook straight into the drink on the 11th. What the hell happened to Mike Wier? Seemed to go off the radar after Masters win. :? Weir had 2 more PGA wins after his Masters win, then injuries set in. He was never long off the tee and relied o...

Mike Weirs Masters win in 2003 was a big deal in Canada. Since then we've had a number of PGA tour winners. Adan Hadwin (also a member of the 59 club), Mac Hughes, Cory Connors, Nick Taylor. Greame DeLaet and David Hearn also came close to a win. Not bad for a country more known for ice hockey.

Not just British golf - European golf Seve x2 Faldo x3 Lyle Woosie Langer x 2 Olazabal x 2 Great times. I agree, good times for sure. It's about time Tommy Fleetwood stepped up to the plate and won a major. I can't wait for his acceptance speech in a broad Lancashire accent.....priceless :D

The previous year he beat Scott Hoch in a play off as well when Hoch
missed a tiddler (must have been easier to have holed it ).

Hoch was forever known as "Hoch the choke" after that miss

This weekend is Masters golf, 2nd best major, The Open will always be #1 in my world. Anyway, here in Southern Ontario this weekend typically signals the opening of golf season, although some courses may have been open a couple of weeks.

exileincanada, had you moved away from 555 before Jimmy Adamson moved into 557. JA had previously lived on Deerpark Rd.

To be honest I can't answer that truthfully, the memory is blurry. To the best of my knowledge my Mum bought 555 from Burnley Football Club.

I was in Boeing at Sheffield (Rotherham) last week, it’s still a bit quiet in there but no concerns around the 737 Max being back in the sky within the next 6 months. Allowing the 737 Max 8 to fly is one thing, persuading the paying public to board it is another. Not to mention the possible massive...

Boeing are building a 75 seater called Boom that will be able to travel at Mach 2.2. Problem they are having is getting it to be environmentally friendly.

First order of business will be to get out of the 737 Max 8 debacle they created for themselves.

Concorde did visit the Toronto Air Show a couple times back in the day, quite a sight to see, for sure. I'm surprised a modern version hasn't been built, I would imagine the market is there.

Someone bumps into you and it's you who apologises.

That's a typical Canadian trait, we do have a reputation of being polite, probably over-polite at times.

If memory serves, wasn't Greaves known as a 'baby liner' back in the day? From that video, he was much more than that!

No big deal. It's within the operational limits of the aeroplane and operating to those limits is what the pilot gets his over-inflated salary for. At a guess I'd say the A380 is less affected by gusts than smaller aeroplanes because of its huge mass. I would disagree with your ‘over- inflated sala...

ExileinCanada, if you had ginger hair and I think called Paul, who lived in Fulledge, I was stood next to you, when you were hit, smack on the back your head, by a empty half whisky bottle.

Damn small world! That would be me, although it was my Grandfather who lived on Mitella St.
