Re: Random stuff - the anything else thread
I'm not actually bothered about Canada.
There's never even been a hint of them being my "second team" at any sport although I did cheer them on in an Olympic Ice Hockey final against the US once.
It's just a bit of a surprise for a team ranked 7th in the world and it was just a pun on the national anthem.
Good job Australia made it through. To keep up the interest levels.

) so I missed all that, I thought you were a bit upset about the result. How dare you not be upset when I'm trying to make you feel better

What with Oh (no) Canada, it seems to work on many fronts.
Here's the best version though.

Re: Random stuff - the anything else thread
I wanted some Lime Marmalade. No sign of Robertson's or Rose's in the usual places and it works out to at least $22 a jar from Amazon.
Found a PEI company - with a place in NS too - called Made in the Maritimes who had their version plus some other interesting sounding jams/marmalades.
Just over a tenner a jar and a flat rate $10 delivery fee.
Yesterday I ordered 6 to try, my acknowledgement email was received 11.03am.
At 11.42 I received an email saying parcel shipped. 39 minutes?
Probably just packed I thought.
Parcel arrived today 9.45am.
One of the jars is this

The most famous place in NB for those of us that live here on the Rock is not Moncton but rather Dieppe. All parcels go through Dieppe - Canada Post, Purolator etc. Dieppe is the place where you parcel goes to die. Or to dwell for an indeterminate period before it finally makes it to North Sydney and the ferry. We even have a word for it ... "Diepped" as in "my parcel got Diepped!".
We now return you to your normal programming.
