If you had to select one of your nationalities, which would you select and why?
For other people, if you had the choice of where you could live in terms of which country, where would you select and why?

There are a few other countries I would not mind living in... most of the European nations, India, perhaps OZ and NZ.
As for nationality, I've only got one passport but I'm not really too concerned. I know where I'm from and where my roots are, but I'd be just as happy describing myself as a citizen of the world (or failing that, European) as a Spaniard.
I would be very sorry to leave a couple of things behind. Question Time primarily. Magic FM too. I don't know whether you can get broadcasts of the Last Night of the Proms or other major British events elsewhere, but those are very important to me.
What happens when Howard leaves? Latham brings up the republic issue again. God, i'm dreading the election this year. No more Commonwealth of Australia perhaps. What are the alternatives though? Mr. put tafe fees up by 500%, make it harder to go to university if you're poor, scrap medicare...
I know loads of Australians who actually enjoy it over here because of the weather...
I don't think the republicans will ever get it passed, because most Aussies don't seem to trust politicians enough to run a republic. I know I wouldn't, what with H*w*rd and K**t*ng (*spit*) before him.
And the plentiful bar work?;)
I like Melbourne because of the weather, but even there it is Too Damn Hot in summer. I can't be doing with 40C+ heat, it's too much. Even the flies just roll over and quietly gasp...
Plus, what would the Aussies do with the Royal Australian Navy, the RAAF, the Royal Flying Doctor Service, would they appoint a president, would they end up referring to 'mateship' in the preamble to the constitution... I bet it'd cost millions to become a republic, just for the freedom to call yourself a republic rather than having a purely ceremonial tie with a foreign country that really rather likes them and barely ever interferes in their business.
Keating was disgusting. How dare he touch the Queen. In fact, his only use was for insulting people. Bit like Prince Philip in that respect.
I remember my father spent a day in the sun at Port Douglas in the winter with factor 30 cream on, got on the dive boat the next day (i'm very into scuba, my dad tags along) and his sunburn was so bad the bloke said 'crikey mate, you look like you've run through Chernobyl!'
It was the Constitution and who elected the President that sank the Republican vote last time, and I don't see it changing- Howard should have been shot for his waffle about "mateship". Twunt.
But he was awfully good at it.
He should be more careful then, that Queensland sun packs a bite. Not as much a bite as the local mind, who make Norfolk look normal:p
If I could live anywhere else it would probably be Canada. A mature version of the US.
Cuba, the North Eastern US, Germany and Ireland also interest me.
To choose a nationality? What a strange idea… do you mean a race, ethnicy so on? Hmm… if I wasn’t satisfied who I am I’d want to be a guy of that eastern-northern part of Africa, you know, Somalia and Ethiopia. I think they are really cute. My personal taste though
