42 - Refrain from using Brit terms like "Brilliant", "Sorted" etc. because older expats haven't a clue what they mean.

43. Always post on the relevant board / thread. For example, do not ask on the Canada board about moving to the U.S. They are two different countries.
44. Be as specific as you can when asking questions. That way you'll get specific answers.

51. If you don't like the answer, you probably either asked the wrong question or were expecting the easy option.

Rule 52. Beware of posting fake science. Bazz and Novo will descend upon you like the wrath of a vengeful god.
Rule 53. Any threat that starts off with 'Is it really true that Canadians get two weeks holiday?' should be responded to politely, earnestly and without any reference to the twenty zillion times this subject has been discussed before.
Rule 54. Daily Mail readers are fair game.
Rule 55. So are Grauniad readers.
Rule 56. And Macleans readers.
Rule 57. Beanz meanz Heinz.

59. Feel free to ask questions about the weather, however if you get a response from the resident BE weather guru Souvenir - take it with a pinch of salt.
60. Actually don't ask any questions about the weather, Its sometimes very cold with snow, sometimes very cold without snow, sometimes very hot with snow, sometimes very hot without snow, and the rest of the time in between (sometimes with snow).
