Some of you might think this is a silly question, but I'm attempting to start a trend. I'm hoping someone will ask me my opinion of the Disney Corporation. |

I'm glad you asked that. It's unprintable. |

John, how do you feel about having moved away from the land of crumpets and Marmite? |

Maybe only the crumpets. Marmite is readily available here. Got a jar in the cupboard as we speak.... |

You can still get Marmite over here if you're willing to pay. I guess if you paid a ton of money, you could probably get English crumpet (a Finbarr Saunders moment) Actually I like it over here. Both the US and Canada feel a lot more positive in outlook than the UK, which always felt a bit depressed. I get very homesick from time to time, but I kind of suspect that when we settle down it will probably be in Canada, a country I really loved. It's also very dependent on jobs and stuff, (and Mrs. D'Oh). I miss English pubs more than anything else, other than friends and family obviously. I find England a much nicer place to visit than to live. |

I should think so too! edit: That was meant for OT's Marmite comment but I guess it fits John's post too! |

It's hard to tell for me, but lately it does seem that everyone is complaining more than usual, that they're not happy with most things, and that there's always some little thing wrong... Certainly with the Blair/Brown fiasco - you'd think that someone would have a good word to say about the situation before or after or the fact that things changed, but - nothing good. Perhaps there isn't anything good about it. |

Do you think that homesickness strengthens the further away one is from home? |

By the way, John, there is a British food store in Westford that we patronize now and again. (My mother's husband is British, and it satisfies his craving for all things curdled, real English bangers, whatever the hell those are, etc.). It has quite the selection. |

Mmm... lemon curd.. It could almost be compared with Marmite in deliciousness... |

If I could find a place that sold Sleemans Cream Ale (Canadian, not English beer) I'd be willing to never eat another banger as long as we both shall live. |

Apparently you get that from too much cheap English crumpet. |

HOLY CARP!!!
|
huh. It's good, is it? I always see stacks of it up at the ol' general store, so I guess it's popular. Don't think I've ever tried it, figured it was 'just another beer'. And it's from Ontario, so like all good west coasters, I tend to snub my nose at stuff that comes from back east. As opposed to from the Maritimes, which is, of course a good thing, (and far more east) and not to be snubbed. Maybe I should give Sleeman's a try this weekend. I'll have one for you, John.

Ahem. You have a wonderful Canadian friend with access to Sleemans Cream Ale who comes to the Boston area on occasion. You really should speak up.

I'll sell my wife and kids to you if you like. I'm not sure what you'd do with them, but if it would get me some beer, I'm game. |

I'll take your wife - she's fantastic!! I'm sure your kids are, too...but I have one, and he's more than enough of a handful! Seriously, though, next time I'm headed that way, I'll bring some out. You may be waiting awhile, though, since I fly out during the winter. But if you're willing to wait a while, I'll bring some out next time I drive! |

Sorry Jack. I think I win - I'm bringing beer. And if I bring enough, I think Jane will happily come with me to avoid being around her sloshed hubby! ![]() edit to add: Notice my evil plot to meet the D'oh family in person. Bribery with alcohol always works!
