Leigh, it pays to notice capitalization. I did say provinces, not Provinces. We in the US have our states, and I am certain that you Canadians do too, the term being synonymous with "episodes".

Leigh, I am utterly serious with my jokes, and with my joking around with you. It only works to josh around with one's buds, don't you know. As for Celine Dion, I ignored her on purpose. (I wonder why the rest of the world doesn't?)

Well, we don't ALL pay to see her, or Manilow or Cher. You have k.d. lang, though, and I'd pay to see her! And I can think of several other Canadians I'd pay to see, though I don't know for sure where they are living now.

Strange because I live in England and I didnt know that our 'Beer' was 'that flat stuff'!! - first of all if ever you were served a pint in our local Pub that was flat you would send it back (actually the landlord wouldnt let it go beyond the bar in the first place) We dont have to rely on artificial fizz to put a sparkle in our pint glasses thank you!!.. I know exactly how particular people can get about their 'own' beer when we tried to take over 4 cans of my brothers favourite beer to Perth in West Australia where he had emigrated. The customs officer got real nasty when we answered his question 'whats this' when pointing to the tinnies, with the comment, 'thats some real beer from the UK'. Funny how even now after so many years the snap of a rubber glove still gives me the shivers......

So hopefully in 2012 we revisit Perth and then hopefully 'bump into' Andrew on the East Coast before visiting more rellies in New Zealand.

As for the pacific west coast, that is definetly on the agenda and I will give all those folks out there a timely reminder when so you can alert the micro breweries!
