CC Random thread

The primary goal of this site is to provide mature, meaningful discussion about the Vancouver Canucks. However, we all need a break some time so this forum is basically for anything off-topic, off the wall, or to just get something off your chest! This forum is named after poster Creeper, who passed away in July of 2011 and was a long time member of the Canucks message board community.

A sharpshooter killed a top ISIS executioner and three other jihadists with a single bullet from nearly a mile away -- just seconds before the fiend was set to burn 12 hostages alive with a flamethrower, according to a new report.

The British Special Air Service marksman turned one of the most hated terrorists in Syria into a fireball by using a Barett .50-caliber rifle to strike a fuel tank affixed to the jihadi’s back, the UK’s Daily Star reported Sunday.

The pack exploded, killing the sadistic terrorist and three of his flunkies, who were supposed to film the execution, last month, the paper said.

The ISIS butcher -- who reportedly delighted in burning hostages alive -- had been on a US “kill list” for several months
If you play with fire you're gonna get burnt.

Been with optik for many moons, wonder if it's worth it to switch to Shaw Internet 150.

Can the Canucks just win a Cup within the next 5 years.

All I got from Telus the last time I talked to them was a price break for six months. I think they kicked me back to about 99$ for six months, now I'm back up to $170

Sounds like you got tel/TV/internet bundle. Go with VOIP solution for your telephone and 3rd party for Internet (saves u lot more than the Telus bundling discount)' which leaves you under $90 for HD+sports.

Telus ran a fibre optic line to the house last week, haven't heard cost details on packages and it likely won't be connected for another month or two. Currently have Telus dish/landline/internet bundle. Shaw here is fast, but but even more of a pain in the ass to deal with.
Over the Internet, you can pretend to be anyone or anything.

I'm amazed that so many people choose to be complete twats.

$85 for everything, Internet, TV and phone.

I have basic package with sports, $10 more gives you a lot more channels.

Plus tax of course.

Yeah but they are going to jack that price up hard after six months aren't they Reef ? I could be mistaken but I think that's just the introductory rate.

12 months then it goes up to $124 or something like that. For the 2nd year it is still a case of at cold beer store cheaper than Telus and I have more channels and higher speed.

Gavlenet optic fibre. http://www.gavlenet.com/Fiber-Guld/villa/
I pay 79 CAD/month, including tax, for 100 mbps download and 33 TV channels, 10 of which are HD.

I think you must live in Gävle though. :|

We've cancelled our landline phone. We all have cells, so what's the use?
My current cell phone deal is 15 CAD/month for 200 minutes, 1 GB surf and unlimited texting.
Whatever you do, always give 100 %!
