Went to a Valentines party in Kentish Town, North London, for people with nothing better to do on Valentines day. Ended up drinking far too much but it was a funny night...

Thank you for your comment-it must be an intense experience being based in Iraq. Moments of both intense boredom and intense fear I imagine. It must also be hard being blamed and stereotyped for situations ones country is involved in. If there’s one thing these latest protest on cartoons has shown, its that people throughout the world need a greater understanding and respect for each other’s cultures beliefs and values. And that has to work both ways, both parties are guilty of causing the recent situation with regards to the cartoons, one can only hope that greater understanding and respect can grow from it. Incidentally the placards from the more aggressive protest have caused much controversy in the UK and currently under investigation over here by the police. Luckily its generally an ignorant and youthful minority that feel that this is the best way to show their anger, yet at the same time it only takes one bomb to wreak a lot of havoc. We live in interesting times.
