I'm just looking at some of the health information for the boroughs that I work in, and it makes for interesting reading. Some of the highest infant mortality, Tuberculosis infection and teenage pregnancy rates. Makes you glad to be a Londoner. Look here for some the statistics in a nice graphic form (pdf).
Oh and I love the way government documents talk about "rich and varied ethnic, cultural and religious mix"...

This post from One Hand Clapping makes some real sense. I don't agree with everything that Donald has to say but this recent post makes some real sense...

...Al Qaeda’s war is not only against the West; in fact, I say that they are not even principally fighting against the West. Their primary war is against other Muslims. What is at stake are lives, human freedom and the very definition of Islam itself...

I suggest you read the whole post.

And more on the same.

I belong to a 3D on-line community called There. It is a great place and I have a lot of friends there. However...It is only open at certain hours of the day, and seeing as the servers are in America, these opening hours are not good for me in the U.K. But I work shifts, so staying awake until 3am isn't a particular hardship for me. Also since coming out of Beta testing there is a feeling that the developers don't care as much for customer support as they used to.
Other than that I'd recommend you signing up and looking out for "Reynolds", I can do you a good deal on a UK T-shirt.
