jsslatic Posted May 4, 2010 Share Posted May 4, 2010 Wasn't sure if that last one was the right one or not. Added it in for you now. I have no idea who it might be. So, what did you think of Toronto? Go up the tower? Have a look 'round the trainstation (I loved that building). Have a Tim Hortons? I thought Toronto was brilliant. It felt like a more spacious, less hectic New York. The people there were incredibly friendly and also clearly proud to be Canadian, and in a nice way without the American superiority complex. Just an all round great place. Went up the tower, was quality. My one disappointment was the glass floor...I thought it would be a whole floor of clear glass but it was in fact eight panes of murky scratched glass. The rest of it was great though and the Skypod bit offered a brilliant view. If you're a height junkie then I can understand why you'd love it. Tim Horton's was gash. Glad I went (to say that I'd been) but my doughnut was horrible and my coffee was so watery. I can't believe how many of them there are though! Like I said, overall it's just great. Niagara was far and away the highlight but Toronto itself just as a city is brilliant. Lukers1 is a lucky bugger to be living out there.

Ackey Posted May 4, 2010 Author Share Posted May 4, 2010 The Tim Hortons we went in, just down the road from the Hall of Fame, was dreadful too. Painfully bad. But they bloody love the places! I loved Niagara too, breathtaking place. I kinda loved it's Blackpool feel as well, really conflicted with the natural beauty in a way which was interesting. Went up the tower there too, despite being relatively small it offered some amazing views of the falls and as we were there in the quiet season we were able to get some great photos. I also had the best BBQ TGIF burger I ever had there, was the size of my head! Denny's breakfast the day after was good too - maybe all that misty air makes food taste better for some reason?

jsslatic Posted May 6, 2010 Share Posted May 6, 2010 Flyers falling apart, that's what I like to see. And the answer to the mystery player was Mats Sundin. Come on guys, sensing a bit of disinterest in it now...some of us still have a lot to play for Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jsslatic Posted May 11, 2010 Share Posted May 11, 2010 I thought you had the cup in the bag again this year? We do, we're just being superstitious and are trying to do it in exactly the same way as we did last year. 4-2. 4-3. 4-0. 4-3. You saw it here first.

Ackey Posted May 13, 2010 Author Share Posted May 13, 2010 Tell the story... We told you this story on Saturday! But the state you were in I suppose we should be grateful you can even see, so... Me, Al, Ryan and Alex were coming out of the Mainstand bar after the game. Stephens was outside the conservatory/shop area getting into a car with what I assume was his missus (who, it should be said, was very attractive). As we were passing the car Al decided that Dale's excellent season was noteworthy enough to be praised in person (the other three of us were 'distracted') and so from about three feet away shouted "DALE...!!!" at him... as Stephens looked up he very dramatically gestured his arms out towards Stephens and clapped very clearly three times in quick succession and then walked on, Stephens returning a "cheers" before lunging to the safety of his car.

When was I told this story? I actually didn't think I was that bad, I thought I'd remembered everything so this has thrown my whole perception of the day/night out of whack. And there was me thinking the funniest thing that happened to Allan was him getting locked in the wrong half of Subway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wasn't aware of that, OK clearly I was worse than I thought I'd been. In fairness, I'd missed Roger Palmer and I was drowning my sorrows. Plus I must say I am a very sleepy person anyway Well cheers for putting up with me then Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
