Which would you choose?

I'd live in Uranus.

I'd live in Uranus.

I hear they have a gas crisis there..

Which would you choose?

Not Blackpool, England - you should choose another location that you're not living in - we have far better names like Yetsomuckhart, Yardley Gobion and Billericay to choose from.

But Blackpool has a rollercoaster.. :(

I hear they have a gas crisis there..

In that case I am torn between GB and UK.

Meh, I guess UK. That's somewhat pronounceable. Plus, its the one with the websites. Like Jolt.Co.Uk!

There ought to be laws against Blackpool.

[/being Prestonian]

That's very true, clearly I had not thought of that.

There ought to be laws against Blackpool.

There are, James II outlawed Blackpool in 1497, I don't how it's managed to survive

I went with England. 'Cause I'd rather not visit Europe, and the other two England-related options included Wales (I think). Not a fan of Wales.

Aren't the first three all a part of the UK?

:confused:

Deutchland!

There's a town called Maldon that has a lovely annual mud run. :)

I think so, unless England is a separate province.

I think someone should look up the definition of "country"

This poll makes baby Jesus cry. :(

Anywhere in Europe is just fine by me, could be Britain, could be France, could be Ireland. As long as it's not Germany.

This poll makes baby Jesus cry. :(Hmm, well, can't fault it for that.
;)

Hmmmm...
Here comes the voice of reason...

The United Kingdom consists of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, and is the only nation on that list.
Great Britain is an island which is made up of the constituent countries of Scotland, England and Wales.
England is the only country on that list, albeit a constituent of the UK as opposed to being an independent state.
Europe is a series of connected peninsulas held to be a separate continent to Asia for historical and cultural reasons, making it not a country. It's largely comprised of a union of states under the European Union, which also is not a country.

I've vote UK if Ruffy meant nation and England if he meant country.
Keep me away from the Continent. Ugh.

Brighton of course

edit: and now that Ruffy is based in Yardley Gobion I must hate him

Brighton of course

What on Earth is he doing?
First Germany, then Blackpool, now Yardley Gobion...
Has he really been to each one?

Europe isn't a country, and will never be.

I chose Europe (not a country, I know). Then I can choose from any of the countries therein. I choose the UK. Where I am now. I wouldn't mind living in the Netherlands or Sweden though. And plan to at some point.

Europe isn't a country, and will never be.

And yet, the majority of voters would like to live in it...

There's a town called Maldon that has a lovely annual mud run. :)
Yup. On Boxing Day. I used to live about five miles from it...and yes, I've taken part.

It's bloody freezing.

I'd live in Uranus.
In the deepest, darkest part of Uranus? :p

I'd live in Uranus.or on?

And yet, the majority of voters would like to live in it...

Okay... Now could you explain how that makes it a country?

or on?
I do believe that he meant in. :D

These poll options can kiss my smelly backside.

Finland, the magical land of the goth heavy metal blond hot blue eyed chicks.

These poll options can kiss my smelly backside.

Indeed. This poll is made of fail. It doesn't even have a joke option!

I'd love to live in Amsterdam. It's the only city in the world where you can get a contact high before you've even left the airport.

You know, they have creams for that. *runs away*

Maybe you just don't get it.

get what? any poll with less the 8 options and no joke option is fail.

The poll has 4 joke options.

option #4

The poll has 4 joke options.

still wont get

I'd live in Uranus.

Nah, you'd want to live at/in Jupiter. It has the raw resources (hydrogen, asteroid belt) and would be suited well for extraplanetary construction.

The magnetic field would be good to help trap low density plasma as well (though since you have the vast hydrogen stores I don't see why you would bother...).

All of the places are inside Europe :rolleyes:

Great Britain is an island which is made up of the constituent countries of Scotland, England and Wales.

At least two islands - or don't you count Anglesey as part of GB?

or on?

Well it would be really hard to live on the only real solid part of the planet (either a solid, rockey core or an almost solid liquid hydrogen/helium/methane mix which would crush any structure in the forseeable future.

You could live inside the higher aspects of the atmosphere though...

Anywhere in Europe is just fine by me, could be Britain, could be France, could be Ireland. As long as it's not Germany.

Whats so bad about Germany?

I grew up tere. It might be nice for other people, but I don't like it there.

What?

OMG he's right!

Germany has nazis.

What?

OMG he's right!

no thye'er not are they in the EU

Germany has nazis.

They're neo-nazis now.

I grew up tere. It might be nice for other people, but I don't like it there.

Whats wrong with the place (note: never been there)?

At least two islands - or don't you count Anglesey as part of GB?

Great Britain is just the main island of the archipelago of the British Isles (sorry, I know the Irish don't like that name: 'Hibernian Archipelago' sounds better, maybe?).
So, no, Anglesey isn't GB. It is HA.

They're neo-nazis now.

I thought Austria had the monopoly on the nazi culture in europe. Are you telling me the let the neo-nazi slip through their hands?

I like how nobody gets the idea behind the thread.

Anyway, I voted Europe. On rethinking, I probably would repeal my vote, but wouldn't choose any of the other options either.

I'd ideally go for a single Earth nation.

Why stay there? Make it a single human species state (with provisions to make it a single human+alien state).

Yay archipelago!

Neo-nazis are everywhere. All around you!

Eel Pie Island then?

Whats wrong with the place (note: never been there)?

Too arrogant, too impolite, too serious, too extreme, too self-important, too much coffee, too much pretence, too complicated, too buerocratic, too hot in summer, too grey in winter, too greedy, too envious, too much past, too little future....
I could go on.
But that's really just my personal impression of the place.

Germany has nazis.

Meh, so has Argentina. And the USA. And Ireland. And France. And Norway. And Malawi, probably.

Ok, so nazis doesnt bother you.

Maybe its the Autobahn?! I mean, a highway with no top limit, I wouldnt like to live in a country like that.

But Blackpool has a rollercoaster.. :(
Otoh it's the most dire shithole in the universe, outside of Newcastle-under-Lyme and Hull, and its only redeeming feature is that I can get served there without any kind of ID.

Anyway, yes, Europe for me.

Ok, so nazis doesnt bother you.
Not if they have zero political clout...

They're fantastic.

Try riding in a sports car with the hood down at about 150mp/h.

'Wahey' doesn't even begin to describe it.

Nope, I'm used to those. And I don't drive, so I could always happily stay away from them.

I can imagine it being like a horizontal rollercoaster.

Or, even better, try racing even more sporty cars with no hood to put down against other cars at similar speeds on a race track...

There's only one country in the list!

I spy two.
