Very good. We intend to do a bit of the same until we find somewhere we are happy.

I absolve thee of thine confusion. Thou art not thy brother's keeper and his devilish stature can not be laid at thy door.

Actually, I'm quite pleased that we can all say "Stay Magpies!" irrespective to tomorrow's result.

Let's see now what the fat cockney bastard does with the 35M he got for Andy Carroll.

Not only loads on telly but more than in the UK.

And one big advantage this part of Canada has over others is the time difference. Footie at breakfast time (and onwards) instead of the middle of the night.

I don't really know what your definition of "going to pot" entails but I think I'd rather that than going to crystal meth or hillbilly heroin thats rampant in impoverished Canadian maritime cities.

Everywhere has its problems I guess. We are certainly not moving with rose tinted glasses but think its worth giving somewhere new a go. Theres not one person we have told of our plans here in the uk who hasn't said go for it. You have to keep an open mind.
