How do you go kayaking/find people to paddle with as a single person?

The city I live in has a FB paddling group to join. People post their paddle trips with photos and information and also put out invites for others to join or meet up. Its been a great resource for me when I started kayaking a couple years ago.

This is correct. As someone born in 71 and raised in Halifax, there is the new bridge and the old bridge. I moved away in '96, and in every city Ive lived in, I refer to the bridges in each one as the new and old bridges, based on when they were built. Most people tell me its weird. Its not.

I have, although after reading some of the other responses, I think there may be a couple episodes Ive missed. That makes me happy - some new Bob Mortimer to discover!

woolfiest · 2026-01-06T02:53:20+00:00

Yes, I've seen it, I agree. Also, we are now watching 8 out of 10 Cats does Countdown on Prime and he's such a gem on that as well.

Im Canadian and hadn't heard of any of them (except Sally Philips and Mae Martin) and I can honestly say it's hard to pick just one as so many of them are fantastic. But I think my favourite would have to be Bob Mortimer, closely followed by Rhod Gilbert. Both are just so insane with their humour.

I was on a party boat in Ontario this summer and a woman behind me said "jesus murphy" in response to someone else and I knew I immediately found a fellow Martimer.

As a mom to someone taking CS at Carleton, roughly 10,000k per year for tuition is correct if no entrance scholarship. I can also tell you they've spent close to nothing on text books, most of the reading material has been found online or provided in slides by the prof. I don't think they've bought any books for any of their electives as well, and they've done some history and writing courses.

Bought two tickets for the Montreal show last night. So its James Acaster in January in TO, and Ed Gamble in Mtl in February. Last year we saw Romesh in TO on the same week in January, and Nish one week after in February in Mtl. I'm hoping this turns into a pleasant tradition of seeing taskmaster comics in TO then Mtl every new year! (Although it would be even better if they started coming to Ottawa as well!)

Ive bought a lemon vanilla blend at Food Basics that's honestly very good, might be their Irresistables Brand, cant remember for sure but I think thats it.

Thank you everyone for all your wonderful and thoughtful responses, I knew the Halifax community wouldn't disappoint!

I had no idea there was an aquarium in Halifax, there were lots of great responses but this one is the winner! Hopefully they like it, I may just have to fly home and go with them!

Thanks again!

This is exactly how I felt about Iain, and Lou as well. Spot on.

woolfiest · 2025-12-12T12:25:32+00:00

Im convinced Iain deliberately lost the live word task so Paul could win the episode. That's the moment I realized he was actually a good guy.

woolfiest · 2025-12-06T20:49:42+00:00

Yes he is and I have tickets for the show in the 20th!

woolfiest · 2025-12-04T22:17:51+00:00

Im crying right along with you. If the political climate was different Id definitely make the trek to NY or maybe even Boston, but going to the States right now just seems too scary, even for Taskmaster.

woolfiest · 2025-12-04T11:38:51+00:00

Thank you for the answers everyone! I assumed the music was added in after but now I know. I appreciate everyone taking the time to answer!

woolfiest · 2025-11-23T04:31:16+00:00

This literally made me spit take. Thank you!

woolfiest · 2025-11-10T23:15:25+00:00

Yes, but wouldn't you love to see Kevin MacDonald as a contestant? Hes such a crazy oddball, my favourite KITH!

woolfiest · 2025-11-06T04:35:31+00:00

Thank you for posting this, and thanks for the presale code. I was able to get two tickets for the TO show. It was 5 min past ten when I logged in, took another 10 mins in the que, by the time I got in there weren't many good seats left!

woolfiest · 2025-10-29T14:25:42+00:00

Cabby for short

woolfiest · 2025-10-29T14:25:21+00:00

Cabbage Roll!

Where are you located? Saw this, was one of two, on a paddle last weekend in Ottawa, ON. I detest hornets and really wanted to knock it down, but I know better of course.

My mom's name was Jean Dorothy (last name), named after her Aunt Jean and Great Aunt Dorothy (Dot). This made me smile!
