Mr. Man Posted January 27, 2005 Report Share Posted January 27, 2005 Isn't there another hotel in town other than the Nugget?...correct me if I'm wrong but the place I stayed had a club in back, I think the club was called Saphires? Not too sure about the name, couldn't read all that well with beer glasses on! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cap Posted January 27, 2005 Report Share Posted January 27, 2005 I understand that the shares of BIC Lighter Corporation are anticipated to rise quite rapidly about April/May. One should buy some stock and make some money perhaps. Ooops ....wrong site....sorry folks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skids Up Posted January 28, 2005 Report Share Posted January 28, 2005 Isn't there another hotel in town other than the Nugget?... in beautiful downtown Geraldton There is a Golden & a Silver Nugget I think. Stayed there a couple of years ago, but only because it was the last place in town...! We had hoped that the Golden Nugget would be better than the Silver Nugget (because Gold is worth more than Silver - right?) but if that was the case, the Silver Nugget must be pretty bad, or we made a big mistake!! Geraldson fire base was old, but nice location down by the lake, haven't been to the new site at the airport. Hopefully Ontario will burn again... :up: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skidz Posted January 28, 2005 Report Share Posted January 28, 2005 Holy crap ! I sure hope no one from forestry management reads these. They'll think we're a bunch of fire-mongers ! :shock: Burn baby ! Burn ! :up: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
407 Driver Posted January 28, 2005 Report Share Posted January 28, 2005 Don't worry Skidz, judging by some Forestry types that I've met and talked to they're even WORSE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skidz Posted January 28, 2005 Report Share Posted January 28, 2005 Wasn't it in Northern Ontario a few years ago that a fire-stomper was caught lighting fires ? I think it was his idea of an "employment opportunity program"... :down: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

412driver Posted January 29, 2005 Report Share Posted January 29, 2005 i remember way back an ol' timer pilot told me: "you flick out a cigarette, you got a 1 in 1000 chance of a fire. a white owl cigar? about a 1 in 100........ now a flare? that pretty much gives you a 1 in 1!!!" when it comes to predicting a season? just remember, all it has to do is be dry for 24 hours in summer and we are in the extreme........... :up: when i worked in one particular province a new rule went out. no hiring locals for fires. i.e. they would fly in the southern boys to work in the north and northern boys to fly in the south. in an effort to stop the "black lightning"!
