Smokey - of course I'm aware that my views are heavily against the status quo (but not quite as heavily as they were a few months ago, with so called "world leaders" now talking of global regulations, etc.; and even New Labour finally questioning diversity with English tests, etc.). But why you don't think it's good that I've made an effort with English songs, hymns, etc. baffles me, and I can only hope those who have repatriated to the Celtic Tiger recently are being better appreciated. Perhaps the term "walkabout" does derive from Aboriginal Australia, but nowadays it's used widely here to describe someone out and about to visit a place and meet folks, yes? Finally, calling me an Australian or an immigrant, rather than an English repat., IS wrong as I WAS born here.

The other queries have been covered already when I stressed, given that all that conquest and economic/capialist immigration/emigration has occured, which included me as a 3 year old, "what's best from now on"...I've said regulations should be greatly increased, assimilation, a stronger more-democratic UN, etc.
