...a country that is quite frankly Full Up (we are a small island of 60 million people - imagine a place the size of the state of Victoria with all those people)

...no Magellanic Clouds, no Omega Centauri and no 47 Tucanae

As I don't qualify for the points system and I'm too old for the working holidaymaker scheme I'm going to come and claim asylum.
