I dont have a passport.

You're like a dog chasing a car. You'll never catch it and you just wouldn't know what to do with it if you did

I'm English but born in Hong Kong and raised in Ghana and the Philippine and some time in the US too so guess you could call me colonial - ah the good old days before division

But you do hold a citizenship, don't you?
There are people out there that are truly stateless because they got stripped of their citizenship (for various reasons) or gave it up for whatever reasons.

Or deprived of it. Eg the break up of the USSR.

Well thats a funny case, because they lost theirs but were then applying for a completely new type of citizenship. Eg Instead of Soviet, many Russians in Estonia found it increasingly hard to be granted citizenship and given an Estonian passport.

No I know.
If I was an inanimate object I'd have a nationality!

... because they were moved in there in an attempt to sovietunionize those small Baltic states. They don't belong, they aren't liked and are seen as the (former) oppressors. Go apply for a Russian passport/citizenship - duh!

Brace yourself, here comes the impact. It's only worth it if it comes hard. Darling trust yourself. Stick to your guns. No one said a revolution was easy.

I'm Aussie too. However, living in Tasmania for three years, means that to the mainlanders I'm Tasweigian, but to the Tasweigians I'm a mainlander. So I guess I just don't belong anywhere.

But I assure you, I don't have three heads. I left just before they started to grow. Err.... Aussie humour.

Great Britain is a whole country in my opinion. You compete in the Olympics as Great Britain, yet in the FIFA World Cup qualifiers, you're 4 separate entities. That gives you 4 times more chance to make it to the World Cup, and therefore, 4 times more chances to win it. And why should North Ireland be entitled to their own Football team, who are nowhere near being their own country, whilst Gibraltar, in the same position don't get recognised?

Gibraltar looks so pretty!

I'd respect the Poms a bit more I reckon, if they were GB. I cannot understand the Scots, who are the Welsh, and why do the Poms suck so much in cricket and soccer? And... everything else? If not for Lewis Hamilton, you guys would just be epic failures.

But saying you're British- now that's just fancy! Perhaps if you were "The British Empire" the Yanks would stop screwing with my Spell check! Aaargh!

It's gaol, not "jail." There is a "u" in colour. "Organisation" is spelled with an "s." It's "zed" not "zee," in regards to the pronunciation of "z." And you can kiss my arse over putting a hyphen in the word "co-operation!" Australia is losing it's identity. I mean, it's a game of spot-the-aussie on the train into work. I can't understand train guard with his Indian accent. And now, Yank-English is our official writing language!

And surprisingly, the highly offensive C-word was not a highly offensive word at all. If you look up Aussie slang in Wikipedia, you will see it was actually a term of endearment. Damn, wiki's down.

#5 Vettel!
