    Are we all fooked?

    The UK has had a lot of fun partying off its gigantic reserves for the last couple of hundred years and in this time its population has grown immensely, but is the party nearly over now? Can we support the kind of population we have here? Failed civilisations seem to share a common trait - their populations grow too large. Are we there yet?

    Surely it makes sense for us all to move to Australia now? (They might whinge a bit, but it seems to be a land of plenty). Or should we have some kind of global war / epidemic, or let nature decide?

    A nice Bird Flu pandemic should sort it all out.

        I'm going to go and live in Holland. It's quite nice and not many people seem to want to go there...

              I'm here now, although I'll be back in the homeland by the end of the year, I miss decent cheese, decent ale, the slightest sense of customer service and not feeling like a dwarf. The lifestyle's fantastic though, just no cheddar.

              B00med!

                People never think of the cheese when they emigrate.
