I never liked Richmond anyway

[ridenrain]

..but you can get knock off Mustang floater coats for $10 at the Richmond night market.

[TattoodGirl]

What!!!!! do they really float or have you dared to try yet

[ridenrain]

No. It was a joke. That's why the smiley.
The night market is famous for knock offs but I wouldn't be suprised if someone, somewhere made fake safety gear.

[TattoodGirl]

Shit I figured you saw one out there...it wouldnt surprise me either

[stokes]

Hey when Vancouver sinks you can come stay with me on th Island....do you think the Ferries will still operate? What will their new fees be..

[TattoodGirl]

hell they would probably run aground on top of Landsdowne mall Ill just take the ex's bayliner over...he wont mind

[ridenrain]

One of the companies I worked for had a Chinese manufacturer make us some natural gas valves. They coppied them perfectly, including the CSA and UL markings. They also sand cast the aluminum bodies so they were porous and leaked gas. The company had to buy about 1000 of those and they all were crap.
They can make some things well but this is one of the reasons I don't like doing business with fakes.

[TattoodGirl]

Thats why im not big on the China made products....steer clear at all costs...that includes the cheapo butterfly knives

Ian Walker, of the University of Victoria, says Canada has the longest coastline in the world and more than 80 per cent of it is submerging due to rising sea levels. But even areas where the sea level is stable are at risk, he says, because of the greater frequency of storms, particularly on the Pacific coast.

What an expert. Did we Canadians know that 80% of our coastline is submerging? Does that include the tide? And even the 20% of whatever's left that is stable, isn't either... OMG.
That's like Eric Outhwaite saying the black puding was so black, even the white bits was black.

Since when are the sea levels rising anyways? I thought that was a washout too?

Shouldn't that be 100%? If all the oceans are connected theoretically one extra drop of water anywhere in the world's oceans should raise the level on every coast everywhere.
Or does coastline include lakes, ponds etc.?

[Keemo]

Nah, the Arctic Ocean is going down, all that ice leaving

[herbie]

Long before the sea levels rise and earthquake's gonna turn Richmond into quicksand anyway.

For god sakes, keep quiet. If Herr Suzuki hears you, the'll send you off to the gulag.
