Where would you move to if you could?

Does anyone know the way to Amarillo ?

Last Christmas I asked a barman for Amaretto. He promptly walked over to the DJ and before I knew it, Is This The Way To Amarillo started up.

True Story.

To wander further down Off Topic Lane, my brother in law works in a bar. If you want a song playing you write it on a blackboard for all to see. If the owner thinks it's a good song he'll download it and play it.

It's an odd feeling having your musical taste scrutinised like that. Last time we went I asked for this one:

It makes me think of The Boy (aka Generalissimo #1). The song came on the radio when I was changing him and I started humming Mr Poo to it. It sort of stuck.

As I said before, I really don't think I would choose to leave the UK, but there is just a little part of me that would love to retire to the Greek Islands once my kids have grown up because I love it there (although I haven't been for ages, mind you) and I could do with some nicer weather:D

Japan s the best place at the moment on the planet.

The Yen is soaring especially against the pound. You can earn 30-50pound per hour cleaning toilets. So if you can teach English you can earn shed loads.

I am teaching English here in Tokyo earning more than many professional UK trades people.

My plan is to save as much as I can Yen and in a year change it to pounds and buy a house in London out right.

Well done Crazygaijin if only more people could grab the opportunities in this world and stop moaning and hoping for a handout.

We're house sitting for my cousin in Melbourne, while she's camping with her family on Stradbroke Island for the holidays. After that a couple of house exchanges and we'll be back in London in mid March. If I had to leave London, I'd choose Australia. We try to get here most years, and love it. But it's Christmas Day, and you're all still asleep, I've come in from the pool because it's too hot out there, and I must admit I do miss my friends and family. I wouldn't be on the computer on Christmas Day at home. Yep, I'm homesick for my dear ones - maybe it's because I'm a Londoner...

I absentmindedly do that ALL THE TIME with The Basset. All Christmas, Hallelujah has been mutated to Doggy-doo-dah. Here Comes the Girls is Here Comes the Dog. The best is Thats Not My Name... "They call me smelly/They call me hairy/They call me greedy" etc etc

If i lose my job any time soon, or just get bored, then i will apply to move to Canada Vancouver to be specific.

I really like the place, BUT, it rains a lot and isn't exactly sunny That's my only real downside and slight reservation really. However, Australia (the other option) is a bit far really and would be a complete pain for family as its so expensive to get to and it takes a long time to fly there!

Dulwich Village. Sorry, I like England and Greater London specifically, I don't have far flung aspirations

Italy for me too. I was born and raised there and would love to go back.
