I also lived in Lux for 2 years. Liked the countryside and the ease of living but got bored with all the expats/museums/too much of the good life!!! Give me Aus any day.

Had a lux girlfriend though.

I missed 'Countries with most attractive/available women' off the list there, didn't I, Badge ?

Maybe you guys would like to start the list, while we women muse on our fave men in uniform....

Have never been to Portugal but can I just say that the men in Melbourne are really dishy. I could just sit in the foyer of my office building and watch them walk in and out all day (mention it to my hubby which he isn't happy about as he doesn't find the women much to his taste). I particularly enjoy seeing the firemen driving up and down Collins street

The dutch are good looking people, in a tall blonde arian sort of way.

I have to agree the Dutch are good looking, well the tall girls are anyway.
I think Melbourne has its fair share of good looking women, I remember last year on a sunny 30 degree day walking down chapel street and this 6ft plus "model" walked past us, My wife turned to me & said please pick your jaw up off the pavement.

I am sensing you like 'em tall - lucky for all 5,3" of me, my hubby doesn't.

I get annoyed in Chapel street, it's a very "look at me" sorta place. I spend a fair amount of time there though, It must be the good shopping.

Yeah I do like em tall but don't tell my 5,4" wife.
Chapel street is great for shopping if you have a gold or Platinum credit card.
Its one of those places with no prices in the window, you know the "if you have to ask you can't afford type"
I suppose you can get a few bargains to & its always great for people watching.

Saw the 'very large girl in the office' from Stingers in Chapel Street a few months back. My jaw didn't drop at all. A shopkeeper told me I just missed seeing Kylie that day, that would have been a different matter!

Anya.
From vague memory, I think that Iceland has a high GNP per capita. It was a while back but the figure was something like GBP36,000 per head.

They also have great nightclubs and lots of cheap thermal energy.

Unfortunately, everything smells of sulphur.

Good one Kirsty or Alistair! What should we make of the job ad - Wanted: French Polisher? Pole dancers get frequent mentions on this site too.
