Re: Anyone from the WEST MIDLANDS?????
I could be joining you for that drink in the pub as well !
We've got approval and just sold our house, so hopefully will be there in the next few months. (One minor problem is convincing my wife that Halifax, NS is the right choice, she's uncomfortable with the perceived climate. ie Rain in particular).

Re: Anyone from the WEST MIDLANDS?????
Were surprised too. Our buyer is in rented accomodation at the moment, frankly I'd have waited 12 months if I were her !
Still, suits us fine although the exchange rate is a bit of a bummer at the moment. Looks like I'll have to stick to half a Shandy and watch the pennies.

Hay spoons, how are you doing? have you narrowed your destination choice down at all?

Hi Twink
That sounds like a good idea. Better still make it a pub craw (just to familiarize ourselves with the local geography)
We are hoping to be there around September.
I delivered our passports to CHC today so the longest 2 weeks of our lives have just begun.

Re: Anyone from the WEST MIDLANDS?????
I'm not actually from the West midlands but my father is. Through him I am a huge Aston Villa fan. I will be moving back to Vancouver on Sunday after having to return for 16 months. I lived there for 18 months before that and met a load of other Brummies through my Vancouver Villa supporters Club. There are a few of us who meet up for games and go out for a few beers so if there are anyother Villa fans out there get in touch [email protected]

Re: Anyone from the WEST MIDLANDS?????
Nope...Unfortunately, I support a team that once used to be a jinx club for Aston Villa. Many a time, I had the opportunity to take the piss out of my Villa mates. Now sadly, we've dropped 2 divisions in recent years.
PS. we like crisps

Villa aren't looking to bad these days. It happenes when i move away. I went 3 years without seeing Villa win live until I went to Leicester and we won 5-1! What a day. Still makes me laugh seeing Ian Walker throw that bloke off the pitch. Not good enough for the premiership that bloke said. He didn't a chance to go around the rest of the team!!

Your bowl of crisps stadium will now be called the 'bowl of Chips' when you move to Canada. Truly, I am very sorry to hear of Leicester demise. The same way that I feel about Coventry and Leeds!!
