Well, no need to swear, but the poutine is a nice thing to try.

Count me in. If I'm not free, I'll try to free myself.

Ah nuts! I've just seen this and I left on the 7th, I would have enjoyed that! :(

I had a great time in Montreal, I enjoyed the easy going atmosphere.
Got a nice haul and a good chat with Steve in Toy Wars and a few nice loose figures from the "3 for $10" box in Legends.

Visited the Irish Exhibit in the McCord Museum, Mont Royal and the Old City and Port, didn't really go near any of the shopping malls.



Apart from a ton of  :timbits:, I ate a delicious Poutine in La Banquise Resto on Rue Rachel Est, some nice fresh Bagels from St-Viateur and the meatapocalypse that is The Duffy Burger in Le Vieux Dublin.
I was also delighted to find proper Canada Dry Ginger Ale, they stopped selling it here years ago!

I had no reason to shout any expletitives except when I had to go home, I'll need to stay longer next time.

I'm happy that you had a good time! ;D Come on back soon!  Next time you're in town, let us know and we can have a Meet-Up and grab some smoked meat.

Meertoh, shame on you for not getting in touch with us  :P, but you ate poutine and Timbits and survived to tell the tale so you have redeemed yourself. And what did you find at Toy Wars if I may ask? 3 for 10$ bin at Legends? I'll have to check that out... :) Thanks and glad you enjoyed your journey here.
