 Is calling your spouse "the wife" a Canadian thing? If I referred to my wife that way it would be a cold Christmas indeed.
  • 13 0
 It's an everywhere thing!

 Or "the beaver"

flag codypup (Dec 26, 2015 at 11:25) (Below Threshold)
 Who knew Canadians could be so touchy? Judging from what I see here, it's an everywhere on pinkbike thing, so unfair to single out one country. Perhaps also everywhere married guys use the same syntax as 12-year-olds though.

 I don`t think it`s just canadians that neg propped you.. if i could detect any kind of joke, it would be totally legit..but the way you rode it.. it`s just an unnecessary comment mate

 My Grandfather got a broken hip and several hours of surgery. I got to sit by the phone and hit the ceiling/vomit every time it rang. On the plus side every call has been good news (didn't bleed to death, survived surgery, in ICU conscious) but I feel a very long way from home right now.

Just wishing everyone a blessed holiday and great new year with the best riding they will have next season.
