  1. Well he has certainly gathered a lot of attention.
  2. Apparently they are supposed to alarm and it is unclear if it did, as security prompted evacuation and therefore at some point knew something was up. It’s unclear as well whether the alarm would be glaringly loud, klaxon-grade, or only signal a breach to monitors in the central security control room. Certainly has the flavour of condom breakage in a cluster fcuk.
  3. There are two consumables that won’t ever be successfully camouflaged in a Michelin star dish or a signature cocktail: cod liver oil and natural psyllium husk. My failsafe method for years for downing the sludge that results from mixing psyllium in water is to flavour the water with a small amount of low cal Crystal Light powder from KraftHeinz. A little goes a long way to make swallowing it more bearable. I hope the additives aren’t IBS triggers, though.
  4. Perhaps on a quentin crisp Sunday autumn morning museum hopping.
  5. Being haled into such fast moving plot lines it’s hard to predict events in advance.
  6. Just following today’s daring jewelry heist ...
  7. I know a few young Montrealers that attended the massive annual Louder Than Life Festival last month and the city has to feed an additional quarter million metalheads on top of its local population. They did not dine out between moshings, though, as such. You might look up the range of mobile venue vendors associated with established eateries although those vendor popups are long gone. Of course you can always check out Tripadvisor’s Top 10. Kat’s Cat Café is no more.
  8. For those considering the new hotel tru by Hilton be aware that another building essentially sharing a full wall is also going up, so expect major construction noise with the foundation dig &c. The plan was always an integrated project with the hotel going up first. The second part underway is commercial and residential.
  9. Eaton’s Bldg … Are you aware that a bar/restaurant was re-opened on the 9th floor last year? It looks posh and I felt too casually dressed to go in for lunch when running errands and swinging by to gawk this week, although many were in jeans etc, and the hostess offered to seat me. Soon. Le 9e, aka Restaurant L’Île de France. Perhaps you had a dressy family outing up there in days gone by, well before it had previously closed in 1999.
  10. … but your phone map apps will do you little good. This map might. Little do visitors know, say, arriving at Central Station on ViaRail or Amtrak, or one of the Metro subway stations conjoined to the underground passages, that they can sometimes cut down on outdoor trekking and wear&tear on luggage wheels while getting to their destination or bridging distance between walking transfers. I put a blue shaded oval representing one of the very view breaks in the network necessitating facing the elements. Sadly, the gay strip club, lower centre zone, closed some time ago. We need to lobby prospective bidders for the gargantuan recently shuttered Hudson Bay Company flagship store (La Baie) to slip one in when redeveloping the structure’s interior, etc (Henry Morgan Bldg, 1891).
  11. At Union Avenue. Henry Birks & Sons Building (1894) and Christ Church Cathedral (1859)
  12. Not fitness cooooooach?
  13. In the book it’s Montreal Voyageurs and Boston Bears.
  14. Oct. 26 Sounds like all the posh English accents have rubbed off onto McGovern.
  15. 10h20 to 10h45 -ish, about 4-5 hours less than Air Canada with typical GRU terminal transfer. Perhaps somewhat counterintuitively, flights from LAX to GIG have to cross a greater combined longitudinal and latitudinal distance on the Earth’s surface. Unlike on standard maps, the true position of the western hemisphere is more like a cross between a left parentheses shape and a C shape. Montreal is only about 300 miles further from Rio compared to Mexico City’s distance to Rio.
  16. After 9 years of waiting, following Air Canada’s switch to São Paulo direct exclusively, Air Transat is introducing 3 non-stop return flights a week to Rio de Janeiro. Departure from Montreal YUL Thursday evening, return departures GIG Friday morning. I believe the Toronto YYZ departures are Wednesday and Saturday evening, returning the following day, similarly departing Rio in the morning. Hooray, at least spared one direction the dreaded overnighter. However, only seasonally in 2026 at this point: Feb, Mar, Apr. The Club Class, 12 seats in 2 rows in 2-2-2 semI-recline has been trending at about CAD$2000 return fare. I would think it’s a bit of an upgrade from Premium Economy products. I checked a few dates within those months for Air Canada to GRU, or connecting to GIG or SDU, and Premium Economy prices were up to twice that of Air Transat Club Class.
  17. No, that seems to have been merely a cue for the 2nd night (Saturday) in the rented event space. The space can be retrofitted for banquets, panels on stage with an audience in rows of chairs, etc. Just a moment... WWW.PEERSPACE.COM
  18. Make sure you are searching the entire board or the subforum within which he would have likely been written about, in this case The Deli. If you are in one of the other subforums the search will not span every location on the board. The disadvantage of the entire board search is pulling up more posts on a search term, but that may be offset by returning the info you seek. Also, I think the merger made by mods here was based on search term in topic headings. If you search now, more chatter on the advertiser from May will come up based on the word NicolasVrn contained in topic titles as well as post content. Those May posts don’t add much worthwhile in this case and were embedded in an inquiry about what provider to choose … merging that would have been unwieldy but in some cases there is useful information that would otherwise have been missed.
  19. Evidently no police raid last night …
  20. Prominent Spain circuit stripper with an OnlyFans account and also has an ad on Hunqz (Barcelona) with 4 reviews over 2 years. He may have had other Rentmen ads. Friends with another stripper “Ryan” who advertises frequently in Barcelona, with currently 44 reviews on Hunqz, and who is nice enough in person. We are restricted from providing true names here.
  21. Golly, Officer Krupke, I was just looking for the family-friendly desserts place and accidentally stumbled into the wrong venue. ScreenRecording_10-08-2025 21-12-23_1.mov
