Political Correctness Gone Mad
Freddy Woo writes: "I once worked on an animation to help highlight the issues homeless people face in winter. The client was happy with the work, then a note came back that the ethnic mix of the characters were wrong. These were cartoon characters. They weren't meant to be ethnically anything, but we were forced to make one of them brown, at the cost of about 10k to the charity. This is how your donations are spent. Wisely as you can see."

Weekends and Bank holidays were the best
Pick a park, any park, fill it with 2 million kids, parents and old folks wearing Judo Outfits and head bands. Add ten thousand coppers and an assortment of black eye'd pea stylee Blackout out buses and crank up the Karaoke*.
Fun for all the family, unless you've got curly hair and blue eyes.
Seriously, I had a whale of a time once I found the expat bars.
*Usually involved setting yourself alight while performing reverse bungie at somestage in the proceedings.
