But only in Canada can you have two teams in the same ***cough*** professional ***cough*** league have the same nickname. We used to have (American)football teams in Saskatechewan and Ottawa both named the Roughriders. The kicker is that the league only had 9 teams at the time.

I failed in a job application for McDonalds after I was invited not to go back after my first year at uni. I wasn't very upset by that, but I can't imagine they have turned many people down.

Every man can tell how many goats or sheep he possesses, but not how many friends.

FTFY. I doubt anyone actually knows what it was first called, but it was called something that translates to Black Pool long before it was New Amsterdam.

Alperton? Centre of the bleeding universe? Back when I lived Sarf of the River (Woolwich) I used to eat in the McDonald's there. I didn't know at the time that it was the very first McD's in Britain!

In my experience, that is not so. They certainly get plenty of applicants both at store and support levels, which means that a large percentage are turned down.
