Toronto

4-14 October 2006

In his early business days, Grandpa had a lot of contacts with Canada and Dada spent quite a bit of time there. Last visit was about 15 years ago, it was catch up time! Here is a Canadian. Notice how she is boring















Sorry fellas, but she is getting married to a very nive Chav















Chav is uber cool in Canada and America. It seems finally the UK is ahead of them North Americans at something; it'll be a few years yet until Burberry works its way into trailor parks

Here's some more 'Canadians' being boring ... although the lemon drops weren't boring. Dada always seems to get very hot when 'on a big one' because yet again he took his clothes off. That photo is not included here incase you are having dinner















Another thing about The Canadians - they like things big:















(Please don't notice England losing 2-0!)






























Small huh! Well that's because its Dada's foot in with mine and Pinos















We went to the 158th Woodbridge Fair (oldest in Canada) where I met my hero Spongy. At the fair pumpkin seeds from the real huge ones can sell for $1,000. Dada says dollars are like real money; only cheaper















Here's me bouncing up and down on uncle Bernie's bed. I think he was asleep but I'm not sure. Notice Dada cut off my weiner; and I'm not even a Jew















This place made me want to go weewee. So I did















Now here's somthing really funny - my Grandpa's hair in 1980. We did some reminiscing with The Dukes. Hughey told us about the time that Grandpa puked on the feet of heavyweight boxer Henry Cooper. Boxer must have hit him on the nose which is why its swollen so big















Even funnier is my Dada wearing national health glasses. Doesn't uncle Henwa look like me! And uncle Prick must have been in his Ivan Lendl phase















Dada went to see 2 radio stations, one he might work for and another in downtown Toronto






Dada has never seen a radio station like it. From the picture you can see the door to the street, which leads straight into the studio! You could put your head around the door and shout 'Poopookaka' and it would be on air. Dada is standing with Bookie who interviewed him on air















Also in Toronto: Huuuge Costco where I held my first lightsaber, too much food ... let me explain; first night in Toronto, we had lasagne. No big deal you say ... it was a starter! Dada is starting to get fat and he blames it on puddings "People only have dessert when they have guests - and we're permanent guests!", Dada going to Boyd park on a girls pink bike, basements, Toronto underground connects all the shops, Eric (aged 9) exclaiming "Wow and I thought my sister was good" when he saw me kicking a football, Claudette at Inkan watches Coronation Street religiously, I learnt to say 'No' without words - see the video on YouTube, Dada put a nappy on a duck so I would stop screaming - as if THAT is going to work, the unbelievably Mummy did the same thing, Dada has now had 50,000 spams since the trip started, there is a museum for CERAMICS! (mmm sounds facinating), there was a guy asleep on the street - with a camp bed and duvet! And finally a great new game to play with old people called 'Bernie'. Starting very quietly, you say the name of 'an old person'. In this case we used 'Bernie'. You take it in turns getting gradually louder until he notices ... the winner is the one who said the name the loudest without being caught! Right, off to Dallas ...
