Don't. See if you can get Coopers there. I know I could get Coopers Sparkling Ale at the Sunset Grill and Tap in Boston (or Cambridge) Massachusetts back in 1999. If you can get the Special Old Stout as opposed to the Extra Stout. Much better and it ages in the bottle like a wine.

No, you're still a Yank. I feel so unworthy, I mean at least Maunder has been in Canada for a few years to dilute his brain, I haven't.

I can sorta sing along to the theme from "Welcome Back, Kotter" though; does that count? :rolleyes:

Not really, but it was a great show (I used to watch it before you were born. I loved Horshack, though a few years ago I saw him on some Where Are They Now show and he had gotten a nose job. Bloody Poof.

An associate of mine is paying £650 to the local power board to have a second mains electricity feed put in to his house in time for his Christmas lights. Apparently the 100amps available through his current supply won't be enough this year*. It might also explain why his power would often trip off when he turned on the television last Christmas. * 100_amps_... current supply... damn I'm good. You've got to have a very special place in this world when you can afford to have a second electricity supply just for your Christmas lights. :wtf:

Reminds me of the scene in National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation where Clark (Chevy Chase) finally gets the Christmas lights to work. All of the lights in town go dim. They cut away to a huge circuit-breaker switch labelled "Secondary Reactor", which an off-screen hand throws. The lights in town come back up :laugh:.

Good grief, that must be a lot of lights! :omg: Where we used to live, people would have unofficial contests to see if they could make their house be the showiest on the block, and slathered lights all over their house and yard (eaves and on top of the roof, on the garage door, up and down the walls, around the windows, on trees, bushes, and fences, lighted 'statues', etc, all at once), and I don't think any of them had to put in a new line.

There is a street in town where they have the biggest house lighting displays that I've ever seen. One of the houses just has lights still in the boxes taped to the house, so you just get this intense glowing wall effect. They also stuff bottles full of lights and put them all over. The end of the tour is lights wrapped around the electric meter which is just spinning like crazy. Another house has lights setup on timers to do a 2 minute volcanic eruption. None of the houses have any Chrismas themes in any of the lights, it's lights for the sake of putting up lights.

Defenitely not, been calling it that for the past few years. Everytime I heard the news talk about it all I could think of was the song from the end of Grease.

I've never heard anyone round here call it that either, matter of fact, I get weird looks when I say it.

True, I bought the boxed set for the Missus, haven't watch it yet even though I got it last Christmas.
