Born here, still here, it's a shade over 100 degrees outside, so when I get home, I think I might open a beer, or three!

Hey there, I'm from the Netherlands! As flat, cold and wet like Denmark, Terry! But for one reason or another I happen to like it.

Cheers, to you all!

Ha ha, no worries mate, I spent a few weeks in Holland in 1974, and loved it! I'd never seen a moped until I arrived in Amsterdam, the Vietnam war was still going so Amsterdam was full of American draft dodgers living it up, eating hamburgers and smoking weed, and there was a rock concert in every square.

I was staying at a little hotel across the road from a canal, and was hanging out with the guys who ran the place, drinking Heineken and Lowenbrau, and ripping off the hotels only slot machine by filling it with Aussie 10 cent pieces and getting back Dutch guilders. (worth 25 cents) Man, I wish I had a time machine................

There is an England option, a separate Europe option and NO Scotland option?   

[Terry in Australia]

Isn't Scotland part of England Andy? I thought Gordon Brown was Scottish?

G'Day Guys, well of course I am an Australian, and not surprisingly, proud of it. I live in Melbourne, Victoria, and work on a big army base about 60 miles north of Melbourne. I'm 45 and have served 28 years in the army, so have lived and worked in most capital cities here in Oz, and spent a lot of time living rough in the Aussie Bush.

We pretty much own New Zealand as well, and a good share of Denmark too. You're probably all aware that the next queen of Denmark is an Aussie girl, Mary Donaldson, so our current plan is to evacuate all those poor bloody cold Danes (Denmarkians for you Kiwis) to Tasmania, and just use Denmark as a little place to keep our beer cold, ha ha! Cheers, Terry.

please avoid this person, he carries under his hairy armpits a broth so wicked they call it bitter

Eh no, Terry Scotland is a separate country with its own football team  . To match what you said there should have been a Great Britain/UK option. Big difference ;-)

Yeah Gordon Brown is Scottish but then so was Tony Blair 

cheers

I'm definitely with Andy and PJ. Although I posted in this thread yonks ago still have not voted and will not until Scotland and Wales have a vote of their own!! 

 

[GeoffT]

And Ireland for that matter (my bike is from Belfast)!

Yeah I suppose Andy, but really, a "Britain" option would have been more sensible, I reckon?

Even though most people consider Scots as just "Englishmen with speech impediments who don't like spending money" and Welshmen as "Britain's dirty little sheep shagging secret" and finally the Irish as "Britain's true brains trust", it'd take forever to list every little tinpot country with the land mass of an average Aussie back yard, so maybe "Britain" would be more practical?

And before you retaliate with mucho indignant patriotic bluster, my paternal grandmother was Irish, my maternal grandfather was Welsh, and my maternal grandmother was a Scot. Bloody hell, I'm almost as British as you are!

Yeah but you've obviously been living with former English convicts for far too long.

depends on when they were convicts, 1800`s and they are aussie royalty, 1980`s and they are criminal scum

Ha ha, well as far as I know, the convicts who were transported here and to the US, were sent here back in the 1700's and 1800's, so any British migrants (Scot's, Welshmen and Poms) that I've been living with here in Oz are (hopefully) probably pretty safe.

Then again, my senior manager is from East London, and he's about as dodgy as they come, so you're probably right mate!

The above banter is why we Americans love British TV so much!!  It's like family infighting- an outsider picks on any one of you and there's Hell to pay. So I'll stay out of it.

Keep it going.
