Day 4: Still no mounties

Canada remains snowy and mostly uneventful.
In fact, bar the early morning wake up calls (get up and PLAY Allen [1], PLAY WITH LEO), it's been very relaxing so far. Lots of sitting about, playing firemen/swords/lego/wrestling, watching tv and trips to the shops.
Tonight, a girly evening with dvd and wine and popcorn as teh brother has had to go away for work for a couple of days.
Things planned for the rest of the week include a trip into Toronto, going to Niagara falls and more shopping. Also hopefully meeting up with kearsley at some point.
And mounties ;p

[1] alas, as his speech has improved, I have been demoted from Allah :/

WTF?

The WTF moment being not so much the removal of the painting but the fact that the complaints, from *men* included "Some said the picture would upset women".

Not women complaining.
No, MEN complaining that Ladies would be Upset by a rather vague drawing of MALE FLESH.

OH NOES! Quick quick, I'm hyperventilating at the very THOUGHT, someone loosen my stays and fetch my smelling salts and embroidery! Call for my carriage, I must be taken home before my tiny mind (assuming I have one) collapses entirely!

Seriously, What The Fuck?
Have we slipped back a century or two and no-one told me? Who ARE these men? Why do they still exist? Are they on day release?

PS on an entirely unrelated note, I hope none of you Englanders are on fire or getting smoked out
