There's talk from time to time here about ditching "God Save The Queen". I wish we would because I don't believe in a god and I don't want the Queen saved! Mind you, we're likely to end up with something equally stiff and pompous because we're Brits and stuffed shirts rule, it seems.

I am going to have to save for another trip Down Under, but as I haven't got a job I think I might not get there before I'm 55!

It does hack me off that there isn't more free movement between Australia, the UK and NZ as the countries have a lot in common besides being part of the Commonwealth.

Sorry, just frustrated due to horrible weather and the fact I can't get a job...
