TSN: Eh, St. Louis is nice and all that. I there for a while on a vacation several years ago. I guess that'd be an all right place to live, but I was actually thinking of moving to Wisconsin after I'm done with higher education.
Pro. Portside: Huh? I already live in Houston. It doesn't snow here! The last time is snowed here by an appreciable amount was February 1997. And only then, it was an inch or two. Before that, there were like five flakes in January 1994 and about half an inch in January 1989. But you do have a point about the ever-changing weather conditions...

Hey! I know exactly who my father is! And it ain't the mailman!

It was implied that Sieggy was a bastard. Sieggy refuted such a status, at least by the original definition.
You slow little Englishman.
Interesting-tangent-of-the-day In Britain, the Royal Mail employs postmen. In the United States, the US Postal Service emplys mailmen. Peculiar.

Hmm... Actually, I don't really hear the term "mailman" too much nowadays. I usually hear "postal worker" as the catch-all for all employees whether they're out in the field or sorting the stamp machines' coins.

Canada Post delivers the mail, as far as popular lingo is concerned.

Quite true there. Although, personally, I can take the cold much more than the damn heat and humidity. Probably a good reason why I don't balk at moving up north to Chicago (who gets some of those lake storms) like so many of the people down here in the St. Louis region.

One time in the late 70's we got about a quarter inch of snow at my house. I built a snow man using all the snow in the front yard. He was almost a foot tall. He'd melted by the afternoon. California is nice.

Is Sieggy using the popular American definition of "bastard", meaning "Unaware of who their father is", and oppossed to the crazy version the UK uses: "child born out of wedlock"?
I win the arugment! The power-up is indeed mine.
We do say mail and post for the actual letters and stuff, but mainly post. And postmen, yes. Despite it being delivered by Royal Mail. Tsk. I did it for a week. It was the most non-fun I'd ever had.

Well I'm perfectly happy! Stockholm has a lovely feet and a half. It may be hard to believe but the last three winters have been shite, this is the white christmas I was waiting for. And it gets cold too, -22 celsius is the current bottom-limit, but mostly it's about -10, which is quite enough, it's a drag when the nose hurts and crystalizes when you inhale too fast.
