    Default Hello Folks

    I'm a 25 year old gentleman that runs the marketing department for a Canadian cable technology manufacturer. I'm interested in science, sound, and design. I hope to make a few friends here.

    Hey David,

    Imagine there being a 'Borrheid' (Barrhead) in Canada? I just can't picture it, can you?

    Sorry, Brad. There's a small town just outside Glasgow, Scotland, called "Barrhead", and somehow I can't imagine they look the same

    I thought that myself,although,as with most places there is good and bad,let's hope 'Borrheid' in Canada is the former.

    Actually, that's what the town was named after. I've lived here most of my life, except when I went off to school to get my degree.

    The name just means that it's the end of the railroad track, which it was, until they removed them a couple years ago.

    It's a nice little town, and even nicer a huge line of digital fibre runs about 20 feet behind my house (it's underground, but yeah). I think the line feeds northern BC, Yukon and Alaska!

    Not unless it looks like this...




    Also, it's been between -20 and -40 for the past 3 days, which is starting to get a bit old.

    Brad,

    It looks just a *little* bit different. If it was Barrhead in Scotland, the cars would be burnt out!

    Nice little town, but then I'm biased because I love snow

    Put it this way, at this time of year I'd rather be skiing in Austria than lying on a beach in Spain... It's just my particular preference - and my wife is even worse. She wants to go to the ice hotel in Lapland

    Snow rules!

    Marco.
