Thanks
Scott

Is it harder to do voiceover in Canada being that you don't have electricity?

The reason we don't have electricity is the fact we are selling it to the US. Back to the igloo.....time to eat some raw seal meat and wait for the next stupid american comment!

Yes, JS....and I'm literally drowning in the stuff. Send me your home address (to voiceman@robertjadah.com), and I'll happily send you some of my overflow. Really.

I won't even ask you to return the favour out of your bales of greenbacks.

How come they teach Spanish and French and other languages in school, but not Canadian?

For those of us unfamiliar with modern day geography, what are the major differences between Canada and Cambodia?
