    According to the best estimates of astronomers there are at least one hundred billion galaxies in the observable universe.

      We were always free to live wherever we want in Europe, and we always will be, even if the UKIP take over!

      Some British people struggle with success, it stems from low self-esteem, IMV.

        In your dreams matey.
        The kippers won't "take over" but if they did (Pigs on the wing) we certainly wouldn't be able to have the considerable benefits of the EU in terms of free movement and ability to work anywhere. Don't tell lies, it's not attractive

          You might be a little Englander, but I'm not. My immediate and extended family's been living and working in Norway, Sweden, Italy, UK, Croatia, Slovenia, Hungary, Bulgaria and moved between those countries......all before the EU and many before the Common Market. Living and working in Europe has always been a piece of piss, you don't know what you're talking about.

          And as I've offered several times before, if you have difficulty arranging gigs in foreign countries, for a reduced fee (on account of your long-standing services to the understanding of musics), I can supply the know-how.

          P.S. It was gurnemanz who placed us on notice that the UKIP will be taking over (he didn't give a precise date), not me.

              Has any "pop" singer converted the National anthem into 4/4 time, like Beyonce did with the Star Spangled Banner? That would make it 33.333333333333% longer.

                  Perhaps one of the rules should be that if he wants to be 'British' he should live in Britian & pay taxes, not avoid them by living in Ruritania.

                    It's England that needs an anthem

                        On that basis, I'm sure that BO was pro-Mohammed Al-Fayed in his ambitions to become a British citizen.

                                Yes I agree I think SPOTY should only be available to UK sportsmen and women domiciled in the UK and paying taxes here .
