- Do not lick a flagpole in the winter. Every Canadian has done it as a kid, and regretted it.

- When buying beer in the winter, be sure it ain't American imports. Their two-fours (24 beers in a box) has handles, but it isn't big enough to accept a hand with a mitt on it.

Sit back and think how much hell a 23-year-old caused to a multinational company. He has been bloody brilliant. He did mistakes and I have been critical of him. But overall he has been marvelous. I am confident that he will have a super career. All the best Frankie!

thanks Scooby, I can't help wondering if the 'mitt' mentioned earlier was of the ski, or baseball variety ;)
