    Not too bothered about money;

    The mind is its own place, and in itself, can make a Heaven of Hell, a Hell of Heaven

      Canada (if you don't mind the cold)

      You've come right out the other side of the forest of irony and ended up in the desert of wrong.

        IIRC Canada is easier to get into than Aus/NZ, shorter flights for the relatives too.

        I'd go but the misses wants to stay for family reasons, I just hope we have the means to do it sometime in the future for my daughters sake as the future looks bleak for the UK.

        A little island between Vancouver and Seattle would be nice, I'd need a power boat for work mind.

            The overall murder rate is 2.5 per 100,000 people, compared with 1.5 in Britain. We have just as many assaults per person as Britain and 50 per cent more rapes.

                My sister has an amazing lifestyle in Singapore. Wouldn't say 'no' to settling down there myself.

                    Pick your area, and you'll be alright...

                    The unpleasantness is concentrated. Its grim statistics arise from its large population of hoons.

                    Hoons are the underclass of New Zealand.
