You will have to give up England to live in Oz. It is not England, it is Oz. Can you not get into the local sports? If you like English things, stay in England son. This country is full of ozzies and ozzy things. Amazing eh?

I am not saying you can't get it, but that it is better to do as the Romans. Someone pining for England will not get on as well as someone willing to make the conversion to ozzie sports and life. That is one of the reasons you are going back isn't it? You are trying to live in windsor castle with a union jack on the top and finding it hard to get Carry on Films on the telly?

The union jack is a historical hang over. It is a sign of a by-gone era. Something that may soon be removed. That sounds like you doesn't it? It also has stars round its head. You and a night out on Friday and too many sniffs of the barmaid's apron? Stick to coke and a straw. The old Brit films are classics and are shown all round the world. I don't know what country you are in but it is all american on my telly.

Like you, not for long. Have the vote again (especially after the GG screwed up) and you will get a different result. The offer was stay with the queen or a president appointed by prime minister. A fair choice for the ozzies? Next time they do it, it will be a republic, nevertheless. Not that this is my choice, but that is my prediction.

A good story (if you do not know it):
A few years back, Chaz was in Oz and at a prize giving. Someone very quickly and noisily rushed at the stage and fired a starting pistol at him. Of course, all his security thought it was an assassination attempt and jumped on the feller, but Chaz appeared to be unphased and just played with his cufflinks in all the commotion. He made the press for being so cool about it all and just playing with his cufflinks like the classic Englishman under fire. Anyway, it turned out that he hadn't even known what was going on and that was why he had been so untroubled, and when he was told about it, he said "Oh I see. I thought that chap was a bit keen to collect his prize."
True story. That, and a million other stories, is why I am a monarchist.
