Re: English pub in the shed.

You know, those 50s boat-shaped bars are going for hundreds over here nowadays. You could make it REALLY naff with one of those!

Re: Our First Canadian Bommie Night

You just don't get the mad firework rampage a fortnight before Nov 5th anymore because sale of fireworks is so legislated (needing a gunpowder licence and all) these days.

Re: O My God

If you look at the Hifx charts you'll see that it was as low as $1.78 in 1993 and as high as $2.65 in 1999 - it isn't called the loonie for nothing and I have an awful feeling we might be sniffing...

Re: What you can't get in Canada

Vimto, I'm going to miss hot Vimto on a cold winter evening.

Re: Novia Scotia wave Skilled fee?

If you look at the date of the article it is from mid 2006. Perhaps things have changed since then. It wouldn't be unheard of.

Re: Property - Follow Heart or Head?

Thanks for the info.

Much of the land is forest, so some work required such as arboriculture but no major day to day grind.
