As a kid I always liked watching James Barber. Seeing the show now brings back a lot of memories from those days. I enjoy all the Granville Island shots in the intro.

Edit: I just watched that whole episode, and man I can really tell he influenced my cooking to this day!
Loved watching that guy, and Wok With Yan (Stephen Yan, not Martin Yan)

Thanks for this, totally forgot about James, big childhood nostalgia with this show, pretty much got me interested in cooking as a wee one.
I’ll never forget this episode. 5 minute mark he starts talking about crab and young, immature me and my buddy are lol’ing because it sounds like he’s saying crap.
Then there’s the 13:50 mark where he uses chopsticks to see if oil is to temp for frying. Legit used this technique last week for firecracker shrimp. It’s my go to method.

I still have my completed Expo 86 passport. McBarge was awesome. Went there every day............ well, almost. I remember it cost next to nothing to get in. Lady Diana, so pretty. The Beefeater band, musical ride, so cool. I remember number one son was old enough to go with grandpa. Good memories........... check that, great memories.
that's pretty cool, do you recall what programming language he used?
I asked him, he clarified that it was in the "California" booth and I guess what it did was produced a drawing of the bicycle whenever they loaded a sheet of paper in it.
He said he wrote a Pascal program... I hope that means something to you lol
yep, funny enough my wife wanted to put the kids in programming camp and pascal was mentioned...i told her my HS classmates in the 90's used that, come on

I still have an expo 86 shirt in original packaging. Mom bought a huge pile of them at the clearance sales after Expo. I wore so many of them at home for years.
As a kid, when there were still numerous bus designs on the road, I remember this one being my favouite. I called it the 'race bus' because of the "spoiler" it had. For me, being on that bus meant we could go fast and get to Downtown Woodwards soonerr so I can have their fish & chips.
Fast forward, and the GMC Fishbowl is still the most iconic.
For me all the buses in Nanaimo looked like the top one. I used them pretty much exclusively while skipping school with a friend who refused to hitchhike, and then going into the city and playing arcade games all day.
I remember you would tear off a paper transfer slip but was never sure when they could be used. We'd just hand them in as fare and most of the time the driver would just take it *shrug*
Nothing like the clackety-wail of an old 6V71N 2-stroke Detroit Diesel.
The 6V71N was an awesome motor
But after that one was replaced with the Detroit Diesel 50 series. Terrible engine, 4 banger turbo. Noisy as hell, and it doesn't exactly move a 60 foot bus that well.
After the Detroit Diesel 50 series was the Cummins ISL paired with an Allison transmission, absolute beast. This motor and transmission combo didn't stick around for long
Shortly it followed up with another Cummins motor but this time paired with a ZF transmission, that's when everything became neutered. Worst transmission ever. It's either hunting, slipping, or banging into the next gear, drives me nuts.
