Hello there southsiders - we are now back from our month long adventures.

We see life in the UK has not changed too much - everything is still credit crunching along, people are still going on about that Russell Brand and Jonathan Ross Phone call and all the trains I've tried to get so far have been late - you wouldn't get that kind of nonsense in the land of the rising sun.

So what of the southside? Have we missed anything exciting?
