    Go on then, what's your name? It's not Eeeeeeeeeaaaaaaandrew is it?

    When we were choosing names for our kids, we deliberately avoided any name beginning with a vowel because said in any North American accent, such a name is pronounced just wrong!

    I thought all Canadians said was, "good job!" or "good choice!"

    Just having my first experiances with the US medical system.

    Went for a job interview and failed my medical due to high blood pressure, 198/105.And was told i may have sleep apnea.
    So got myself a doctor, i must admit there fast and efficent, but when you leave they have check out kiosks where you pay. Made me chuckle when i saw them.

    So i have had a full medical with EKG Scan on my heart done a sleep apnea test, and on blood pressure meds.
    Glad i have insurance if not would have cost $5000 so far. Only had to pay $25.

    Know someone called Szostacz or something like that. Think his son plays thin to Sheffield eagles.

    I know, I broke my leg 2 weeks ago when pissed up with the wife, i fell down the stairs in the apartment.
    It just seem wierd having to pay for something that you are used to getting for free,
    the bill would have been around $7000 for it all in the end, but fortunately i was covered on my insurance and only had to pay $67
