However "Little Mosque" has the potential to be original and entertaining but it's too early to tell. Many series take a season or two before they become popular.

I don't and never have been one for sitting in front of the telly or for living in a pub. And my life is just peachy thanks. I was merely saying that TV in Canada is shit.

Where exactly (i.e. roughly) is it that you're moving to? I mean, the Feathers is difficult to replace, but there are a few decent pubs in Northern Ontario I hear.

No, nothing so interesting. Highway 9.... Hicksville.

BTW, believe this or not, I hosted a bunch of European (predominantly German, Dutch and Swedish) scientists in Timmins during the 1998 World Cup. The only bar up there with a wide screen TV will never do such business again, or quite understand what happened that month.

Blimey. I didn't think you were going that rural. When do you get the extra toes grafted on?

We go for melded, not extra.

It's properly rural alright. The people there now even have to cook with electricity.

You must tell us when you get there if you can get a low fat latte in the Timmies, and whether it is served by a Somali.

According to statscan there are no black or Asian people for many miles so, I suppose, that means there aren't any Tim Hortons. I expect it'll be Pete's Donuts up there.
