Matt is Australian, so our mini Commonwealth Of Nations got another member. Britain (Katherine, Jackie, and Adam), Canada (Katie and myself), Australia (Dark Avenge, Sunday, Kristy, and now Matt), New Zealand (Kyle) and South Africa (Colton) are all represented. Now all we need is someone from India  |

You mean any Asian Country in general.

No, the Commonwealth Of Nations is made up of countries that used to be part of the British Empire (Britain, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and South Africa being among them).

You forgot Jackie Tim who comes from Wales also in the UK.
Yes I can see how expensive it is to travel to the my country including flight times and everything although most people normally sleep sporadically throughout the journey barring any airport changes obviously.
Even though most people stay in London there are many other places in Britain to visit barring that plus Edinburgh or Glasgow in Scotland which is only 4.30 hours away from King's Cross St Pancras or Euston main line station then.

Yes, we need someone from India now. Fingers crossed it happens one day.
You're welcome but it started sadly with the death of my Mom in March 2020.  Anyway, it started with High Mountain Rangers/Jesse Hawkes in several re-runs, then Simon & Simon, Riptide, along with Perry King movies, Houston Knights and now High Tide. It might get longer but that depends on me and my decision. So far, I like Perry King and his movies as well. Sorry to hear about that.  I'm so happy those shows and films have provided you with so much enjoyment and love. |

*nods* America does qualify to join. The Commonwealth of Nations is a voluntary organization. It is eligible to join though. America chooses not to be in the Commonwealth of Nations. I don't know, if they ever expressed interest though.

The U.S. could join, I suppose. Namibia is a member, and it's colonial background was German, not British.

Thanks. When getting older, you tend to watch back. But well, that happened earlier too.  Regarding Commonwealth and all: I feel kinda left out. With being from Germany.  |

South Africa left the Commonwealth, in the late 1940's, over Apartheid.
When they ditched it, in the early 1990's, they rejoined the Commonwealth in 1994.

Yes, that's true. Maybe America will join one day. They must have their reasons for not joining, or just haven't brought it into the conversation yet to make that possible. |
