eh

Originally from Dublin, Ireland. Moved to London and then Leeds, England, I now live in Toronto, Canada. Oh and now back again. Anyway, you can take the woman out of Ireland but, you know the rest. Basically the stuff on here will be the same no matter where I am. Ramblings and rantings about stuff, some from Canada.Some of them really do say 'eh' ~~~~~ "ascertaining the comprehension, continued interest, agreement, etc., of the person or persons addressed"

elephants? outstanding

Before we moved to Canada some people warned us about bears, thinking that the whole of Canada is over-run with wild animals. Up to now all we have seen is lots of black squirrels and the family of raccoons living in the tree in our front garden (the four babies are getting pretty big now), but this story shows that nature is out there.
Imagine the scene, you are strolling down the street and there is an elephant eating someones tree in their front garden. 'Time to cut back on the booze' you think.

Read all about it here.
This website tells some of the story but this one even has the audio of the call to the police.Which you HAVE GOT to listen to. Like.

ha. "ok, thank you" he says at the end. i miss the matter-of-factness of canadians.

if that had happened here they'd have banned circuses, lowered the speed limits nation wide and altered the national anthem to include the words "evil pachyderm menace on our shores"
