Just when I was thinking how tired I was of driver, bicycle, and pedestrain bitches in the Coast, I have one of my own! This is directed at one bad driver so the rest of you can take a valium. To the driver of a small navy blue wagon: your driving sucks! On Friday morning at the corner of Brunswick and Cogswell we waited dutifully for the walk signal. Just as we were about a third of the way across you made a left hand turn off Cogswell and, given that there is only one lane heading south on Brunswick, had to have driven on the wrong side of the centre line to avoid hitting us. That’s at least two infractions: failing to yield to pedestrians and driving on the wrong side of the centre line. If I had gotten your plate I would have reported you to the police. Was it really worth it to save a few seconds on your commute? The irony is that you probably think you are a great driver. The reality is that your driving sucks! Hopefully you will realize that and start being more careful before you injure someone. Slow the frick down! You are not that important! —Not a happy camper

You were right the first time. We are ALL tired of traffic, bicycle, pedestrian, crosswalk and bus bitches. BAH-RING! (Except for the H^lif^x Transit Casanova’s “Missed Connections”. I have hope he’ll find his bus broad someday – one will bite soon enuf brah. In the meantime, we’ll all snicker).
AT THE CORNER OF BRUNSWICK AND COGSWELL

You must avoid the corner of Brunswick and Cogswell. It is an intellectual dead zone.

Cheerio!
Oh, is that the corner you live on?

A zZzedward zinger? That’s the first time he’s actually written something. Usually it’s just his crappy attachments which I don’t bother looking at. What a half-wit.
A pleasure as always.
Cheerio!
MM, the former Trade Mart (on the corner of Brunswick and Cogswell Streets) is now Brunswick Square and currently houses the Provincial Department of Education. Your ‘dead zone’ remark is, indeed, correct.
I was always a bit wooly about that neck of the woods. The Provincial Department of Education, eh? Too bad the small navy blue wagon didn’t finished the functionaries off. Maybe the Dribbling Half-Wit was one of them.

Diazepam (Valium) is not a good recommendation. It is slow-acting and has a long half-life. A better recommendation is Ativan (lorazepam), because it kicks in quick. Mind you, a flask of brandy works too.
