Is Miserable, well I know better, but insist on trying in any case, see talking to you is like riding a bicycle, one that has no wheels yet I am trying to ride to Melbourne.
Not going to work, horror of horrors! I like many of my country men and women am a REPUBLICAN.
Generations of Anglophiles chewing the cucumber sangers while down on one knee, fondly talking of *home* in my childhood, a home they had never seen in the last three generations, irks me still.
Are you English? or just prone to being unhappy

I like many of my country men and women am a REPUBLICAN.
Belly,
Do you actually know why ?

Belly,

Well, whilst yer on yer bike, think about telling us the advantages to us ordinary folk of Australia becoming a republic.
You are championing a republic so you should know what its advantages are and be willing to convince others; otherwise, you are just pushing an ideology for the sake of that ideology, a rather mindless pursuit.

My parents were more british than the British and told me the empire will rule the world. Now it controls Gibraltar when the excitable Spanish aren't slinging off about EU gunboats invading. Soon the Windsors will be cut back to Yarralumla on casual work visas with selfies by Belly and no head butts.

nicknamenick you sure baffle me, unlike another I can see a bright mind in there but it sure has difficulties getting past your sense of humor.
As for me? colonialist moron of convict stock I just refuse to stay in the box Ise Mise made for me
Roll on the REPUBLIC

Belly,

Just tell us the advantages of a republic; or can't you think of any?
