barrie is like the worlds best town. i used to go to the queens all the time. their were 2 other bars id go to as well, the dance bar thats west of 5 corners, and the ripper bar thats right by it. i lived there for a summer with relatives, i used to love just hangin out around the park on kempenfelt bay. my aunt & uncle used to live in one of the builidings that overlook the bay, you know the 2 apt's that are right beside each other right down by the park. they had a balcony so you could chill up there till you see some hotties and then go down and cruz the beach.

I live in a condo by the bay but its the one right downtown. I just moved there about 3 months ago. I love the view and its so convenient for being able to drink and walk out to the bars...(not that I go to the bars all the time)

Its a great city...no traffic, always have a place to park, real low stress town.

Where abouts in the city do you live right now Bumdup?

Did you say 45 min walk in your previous thread?[IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-confused.gif[/IMG]

What about your car?

bumdup

no, no car here. i only get to drive it when i'm back at home. here, i rely on my 2 legs to get me from point A to point B.

i live where the new built houses are, behind the hospital, and Georgian College. and ya, it takes me about 45 min to walk to school... really sad~ [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-disgusted.gif[/IMG]

nitehawk, how old are you? do you go to school?

I am 26.

I used to go to Georgian and my parents live in the same area you do by the baseball diamonds.

I took the Graphic Design coarse and now I have my own freelance design company and I also work as an art director for a sign company in the south end of town by the Molson Center.

How come you dont get to drive your car in Barrie...(no parking where you are staying) or do you share the car with family members back in your hometown?

bumdup

i have to share the car back at home ... [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-nono.gif[/IMG]

Police Foundations eh!

My best friend just got hired on with Metro Toronto Police and is in Elmer right now for a few months.

My Sister's boyfriend already works for South Simcoe. He came by my work yesterday and I got to play with the Sirens.

I sound like such a kid but it was cool to see how Hi Tech those cop cars can be.

bumdup

how old is your best friend? what college did he go to? how many times did he try to get into the police force? are the testing hard?

sorry for asking so many questions but i heard taht it's hard as hell to get into the force these days. back 20 yrs ago, it was just a simple interview and ur in!! now there's written tests and physical, psychological ....etc i'm just a bit nervous that i won't be able to get in. need to know if there's "a trick" to get accepted.

are any of them in this forum?

My friend is 24. He did have to go through lots of testing and exams. You have to be very motivated!

He never took Police Foundations though. He did go to Georgian for a while and then to York but I think for business stuff and teaching.

All of the sudden he told us he was gonna try and be a cop....and now he is.

He said that Police Foundations would have helped him alot if he would of taken it. It really helps to prepare you.

bumdup

so he got in the 1st try? ... tha'ts amazing!!

i know alot of ppl who have been trying for about 3-4 times now and still haven't got in.
and my friends bro's friend... he went to seneca for police foundations, and still, it took him 3 tires to get into the force.
