- For et år siden blev den 12-årige Aisha Mohammed Yusuf fra Stenlille sendt til genopdragelse, omskæring og tvangsægteskab i Somalia.

- Før jagten på rygerne bliver til en klapjagt og en genindførelse af politisk korrekthed i sin outrerede form, kan der være god grund til at erindre om, at rygning også er en fin gammel kultur med sin egen kulturhistorie, og at rygere også er en slags mennesker. Ikke altid de værste. |

- Can anyone help build a list of UK broadband providers who don't mind end users sharing their bandwidth with guests. The target market is both SMEs (coffee shop, pub) and private individuals. What's the real story on the current UK legal situation. If a coffee shop or pub (ie commercial) shares access with their guests are they really a provider who has to keep logs and satisfy all the other ISP regs? How about a private individual? |

- We had a great xmas away from home, with just the two of us we opted for an xmas lunch at Asia de Cuba, a trendy restaurant mixing asian and mediterranean, the deserts were amazing too. As the tube was closed for xmas we walked to the restaurant via Hyde Park. On the way home we walked via Buckingham Palace and waited for the 5pm light show to start, where they had two massive stacks of projectors shining images onto the front of the palace. The images were extremely clear, sharp and bright, including a union jack and an excellent tracing of the palace features in thick white on a purple background, turning the palace into a big cartoon like building. On Boxing Day we headed out to the sales at Selfridges, and Harvey Nichols on Saturday. |
