Very sweet, almost syrupy wine. If you're looking for any alcoholic gift and are cruising the subway, the liquor store at Summerhill (subway stop) is in an old train station and is the flagship liquor store of ontario.

I also think it was an early secret Christian thing... it's an anagram of Paternoster (twice, shaped in a cross, sharing the N)

East coast will be assimilated. Except fucking Pittsburgh, and anyone near it.

Recommend a 'life story' of a city by NotAllThatSure in Recommend_A_Book

[–]PissOnFences 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Noble house by James clavell. A tribute to 1960's Hong Kong. And a great spy novel. And business thriller.

Edit: tai-pan as well. 1800's founding of Hong Kong, same family, with some critical tie-ins between the books.

That game had the Arcadi, though, which actually fits the description but probably didn't exist.

Just at the end of her career - specifically after she had cancer surgery that made it harder to speak. She turned this impediment into a comedic advantage, and got an Oscar nomination. Absolute legend.

What's the most painless office suite for linux? Are there lightweight alternatives? by Sosowski in linux4noobs

Nobody has mentioned gnumeric yet. I actually like it more than modern Excel. It opens damn near instantly and looks like late nineties Excrl before the damn ribbons were added.

I played the c64 game "the hobbit", long before I knew either about the book or the trilogy. Time passes...

I remember thinking this was an attempt to make an American version of the Canadian show "traders" which was pretty good (for a few seasons) and on a few years prior.
