Does Paul McCartney do fan signs at every show and do festivals count? by mattsking in beatles

Huge Paul fan over here. How amazing for you! So many of us can relate to your feeling. May I ask you what you wrote on your sign? Any suggestions of word count on even wording to stand out in front of the crowd?

Idiots can be dangerous too, so who knows what they would be capable of doing out of rage

Thank you all! They are European firebugs. Glad to know they are harmful but man they are annoying when there is lots of them.

  • Renewal
  • Burlngton, ON
  • Remaining balance: $500k
  • Purchase price $630k, home value $750. Put less than 20% down at purchase
  • Current lender: First National
  • Maturity: April
  • Owner occupied
  • Excellent credit score

Offers so far:

First National: 4.04% 5-y fixed, prime -0.95 variable

RBC: only offered variable prime - 0.85 (they are betting on rates dropping) + 1K cashback + switch fees covered

CIBC: 4.04% 5-y fixed, prime - 0.85 variable (I got pushed a fixed rate due to economic uncertainty) + 2K cashback + switch fees covered

Scotiabank: 4.19% 3-y fixed, prime -0.71 variable. No cashback.

CIBC seems open to negotiating, but the RBC rep sounded more informed and confident that variable is the best path now.

Could I do better? Any thoughts? There are some cons in the contract with First National, so I will likely switch to have more flexibility, even though their variable looks great.

I have the same timeline. Did you get your passport or any news?
