Why do TV stations bother with helicopters watching and reporting on traffic. Are people watching this information and then rerouting themselves around these reports. OK, maybe in the morning it may be of some value to know what’s going on but surely nobody is listenening on the drive home. It seems to me the only value at all is on how quickly the reporter can recite a commercial plug for some local company. Seems a huge waste of energy to me. Certainly not green.
OK, I’m abloggin’ again. After having spent many hours on the phone trying to get technical support I came up with a great idea. I was gettting terribly frustrated talking to the people in India. They can barely speak English and they are very scripted in what they say. So, next time I phoned I pressed 2 for French. I remembered they wanted my phone number and then press 1 for technical help. It’s the same whether it’s English or French. When I finally talked to someone I said” Est-que vous parles Anglais/” Yes I do was the answer. You see I figured they would be in Canada because Bell would never try and teach the people in India French. They barely taught them bad English. Secondly, 99% of the time the French Canadian will speak English as well. They are also much more versed with their technical knowledge. So give it a try next time you’re in need of help and be sure to try and throw in a little French if you can. They appreciate the effort. This sort of idea works well with anybody using these phone centres as well as with Air Canada!

In the tv commmercial for Viagara they mention that if after 4 hours you still have an erection you should call your doctor. Doctor, how about Guiness Book of World Records. Now let’s suggest the viagra was taken in the early evening, maybe 9:00 pm. The means you are to call your doctor at 1:00 am. First of all, doctors rarely can be reached at home and if they were I doub’t they’d want a call about this to wake them up. The good people at Viagara need to rethink their advice.
