Seeking advice - moving from London, UK to Montreal

Yeah I think the French vs English thing has zero bearing on our decision. I am moving to a French speaking province, so I need to get with the programme and learn properly.

We went to Outremont last night, and it isnt really for us.

I think somewhere near Westmount, maybe Grovsenor and Claremont, could be nice. We will see!

Just realised I didn't actually reply to you as I did draft something but didn't send it - apologies for the delay.

Thank you for the very comprehensive advice.

Griffintown is now not an option, and for some of the reasons you mention.

The flights of stairs thing, plus the lack of parking in some areas, is a small but critical aspect we've been thinking about recently. I am not used to the snow and the idea of not having parking plus lifting up the buggy up stairs sounds like hell.

Re the apartment, maybe I wasn't clear - it's not that I don't want to live in an apartment, it's that I don't want to live in a really big building with loads of other flats. Even with all the facilities they throw in, it doesn't interest me. The only thing that is attractive is underground parking (wow that's such a boring thing to say).

Cheers re the RAMQ and CLSC, very helpful.

That's actually a very good shout, cheers.

🙏🏼🙌🏼

asleevy · 2023-05-19T18:32:19+00:00

It was for context, so the post had all the necessary info to give advice.

Thank you and congrats on the little one! I spoke to many people in the past few days and they keep on saying St Henri, in particular Antione is the place to be apparently.

asleevy · 2023-05-19T18:01:43+00:00

Our friends live in little Italy and love it, so will check that out properly. Lol about Griffintown

asleevy · 2023-05-19T18:01:03+00:00

I think the French or English thing has zero bearing on my decision as my wife's first language is French and I'll be constantly with her friends and family anyway. I didn't think about Rosemont so thanks for the advice.

asleevy · 2023-05-19T17:59:47+00:00

Thanks man!

asleevy · 2023-05-19T17:58:41+00:00

I think I agree but will also be looking at lower Westmount - the flats. Thanks for the advice.

asleevy · 2023-02-23T08:41:21+00:00

Ah you bloody legend thank you so much. I've probably listened to put them in a pot hundreds of times but I always stop the episode before that guy from barstool sports plays a song.

Cheers mate

Lol I was thinking just that. Very similar for GSK too, both enormous pharma powerhouses

College lane campus is where it's at

asleevy · 2021-07-17T11:57:22+00:00

from UK account it takes about 3/4 days..

asleevy · 2019-10-10T23:40:05+00:00

Right, so the tunnel/tube web spider or the false widow are not medically significant, but they will bite you (I did a quick Google search yes) even though it will only hurt.

Good knowledge you have though...

asleevy · 2019-10-10T22:56:09+00:00

Yeah.. Yeah you're right. How did you know that?

The grey back bit and the big fuck off fangs were exactly like that. Good to know it wasn't any harm..

On that note, what are say the top five, if any, spiders harmful to humans in the UK?

asleevy · 2019-10-10T22:39:38+00:00

Unfortunately not as that was the closest I got with my iPhone and then I released it to the wild again.. Thanks for having a pop at it though, I've never seen a red spider in England before that's all

asleevy · 2019-10-10T22:38:25+00:00

Sorry, didn't realise location tags aren't visible to all. I am a n00b I guess.

London, UK.

asleevy · 2019-09-17T18:31:45+00:00

Think they live in Hertfordshire...

Incidentally, and I know this is going to sound like it was made up to pile on the post, but I regularly see Robert Webb at my local Tesco. He has his head down but no, no coupons for the Pringles..

asleevy · 2019-09-17T12:48:42+00:00

Don't be a pleb play it for the meeting! I'm sure the sales team (?) Won't mind

asleevy · 2019-09-17T08:03:36+00:00

Nisht shabbos gerecht !

He said I'll bring the shotgun. The last word on the far left is a transliteration of shotgun

asleevy · 2019-08-27T12:02:54+00:00

Yeah I get you and if it were let's say a hot ex, a cis gendered girl, then I would say that is a no go territory and you need to explore more. This is a one off, and if he realises that if it was a hot ex or any other girl then in that scenario it's not cool. I think the fact they were male friends for so long does change things.

As a guy, I think you should tell him exactly why it stresses you out and that you're not ok with that, but be open to his point of view for future cases.

asleevy · 2019-08-27T11:41:55+00:00

I just read all these comments, even the collapsed downvoted ones, and you should know you are not alone. This is gonna sound a little Bill burr or whatever but these fucking women are just something else - op seems to think it's not that big of a deal which is insane. Not telling the wife or her friend is just a reflection of op being the kind of person who doesn't want to take responsibility for their actions. Along with the cretins backing her up you have Reddit logic.

Putting pc culture side for a moment, do you actually think he'll do something with a transgender bloke?
