The finest 60 year old Scotch Single Malt Whiskey in that case. -

Re: The Commons Bar Mk VIIn Ottawa (Canada's Capital City) at the moment.
Had a tour of the Canadian Houses of Parliament today.
It's basically exactly the same as the UK system; which would make sense considering their entire Government system is based off the British system. The only difference is that they have a "Senate" instead of the "House of Lords", they carry out the exactly the same role and are appointed by the Prime Minister.
Lovely! -

Re: The Commons Bar Mk VIWell it's interesting to watch those who start off seeing me as a complete prat and eventually come around to seeing the world through the same slightly cynical eyes. Most people never make it so it certainly makes the House an amusing place working out who will. Election week requires some appropriate musical accompaniment. Starting with an altered Rabbie Burns piece:

Re: The Commons Bar Mk VIYep I study both Latin and Greek. They're both great languages and well worth looking at and studying for their impact on Western and European culture (this is perhaps the only area of European culture that I like!)(Original post by DebatingGreg)
I presume you do both? -

Re: The Commons Bar Mk VIYes, I'm doing Latin at school. Generally speaking, I much prefer learning Latin to a modern language, partly because you go at a much faster pace and therefore learn more on the structure of the language early on, but mainly because of the culture intertwined with it. I probably wouldn't dare read any Classical Literature if it hadn't been for Latin, nor took terrible interest in its philosophy.(Original post by toronto353)

Re: The Commons Bar Mk VII've tried Molson "Canadian" and Moosehead, and I have to say that I prefer Molson "Canadian". Both are nice but that's my personal preference, the opposite from you. :P(Original post by obi_adorno_kenobi)

Re: The Commons Bar Mk VIShe's more anthropology centred, are you more interested in the bigger events (politics etc.)? Her Pompeii book was hilarious/a great accompaniment to visiting the place.(Original post by toronto353)
