That's what I was hopingmthe plan was. We'll have to wait and see.

I would like an ad-blocker that blocks the "Please enable ads pop-ups"

My BIL still gives his weight in "stone". As in, "I'm 12 stone, 7 lbs and 3 ounces".

I joke with him that only makes sense to people who are comfortable with Pounds, Shillings and Pence, too.

I'm guessing that the "cheese" component wasn't actually what anyone outside of the USA would call cheese.

How about we charge them $62B to keep NORAD running?

This has to be more than just an ultramarathon, because 17 hours for a winner is a long time. A normal marathon is 42km, and takes 3 or so hours for a winner.

Given that this was in Snowdonia, it looks like it was some kind of grueling trail race up a mountain.

Not saddest, just worst.

Exactly, manage the outcomes, not the people.

And don't forget, this is pretty sensitive stuff. So you have to make sure that it's a well built website or it's going to be a disaster. It's not just a page, it has to have some kind of content system behind it that non-programming staff can interact with and keep up to date.

Officially? I thought that they were going on a vote by vote basis. In that case, given that the CPC will always vote against the government, when something comes up that both the Bloc and the NDP are against it becomes a race to say who will vote against it first. This forces the other party to vote for something they dislike, or suffer an election (at least for confidence motions).

So, would a longer time to a leadership vote mean that the NDP would have to shore up the Liberal minority to prevent an election until after they pick a new leader?

To explain for those not in Canada... It is usual in Canada for a job to start with a low level of PTO an then add a week every few years that you stay with the company. This usually is capped at 6 weeks.

You can, of course negotiate an amount of PTO when you accept a job. Someone coming into a more senior position wouldn't expect to start with just two weeks of PTO.
