American culture around sex and nudity looks absolutely fucking ludicrous, even from a British perspective - and remember: we were supposed to be the most uptight motherfuckers on the planet (e.g. "No Sex Please, We're British"). However, I don't think I've ever heard of a virginity movement in the UK (if it exists, it certainly never came round my way) and even our conservative politicians find it uncontroversial to say you wouldn't really want to marry a virgin. Lastly, tits: we had our own "wardrobe malfunction" moment at a royal variety show or something in front of the Queen, who got flashed a boob. We all thought it was very funny and I believe the Queen did too. It certainly didn't turn into the shitstorm that happened over the Superbowl.

Are you aware of the problems with the London skyline in ST:ID? And if so, how will you compensate the people of London, over whose homes and views you have ridden so shoddily? We demand justice!

/Anyway: you say you work with foam... Anything, on any scale? I have a partner and a son in Athens, Greece. Do you think you could realistically recreate/complete the Parthenon using the remaining pillars and foam, so people could see how it looked in situ? I would pay literally 300 quid to see that (as long as that was for my flight).

I broke up with the mother of my child when my son was 7 months old. We fought very violently - me verbally, her physically - and I knew that it was something she had learnt from her parents that I didn't want my son to learn from us. Because she lives in Greece and I wasn't able to find a job that would support me there, I have moved back to the UK to find work. I see him every day on skype, but only briefly because his mum works until the evening, so I get a couple of minutes (or less) before he is bored and toddles off (he's just 1 year old). I hope that he will want to see me more every day as he gets older, but given the economy in Greece, I doubt that I will be able to live near him any time soon. I spend my whole day looking forward to just seeing him and plan all my social and work activities around those - sometimes 20 seconds only - moments on skype.

Tips from anyone who has had a long-distance father most welcome, cos I adore him and I miss him and I want him to know that.

Yeah, I lived in a while in the States too and was just fucking shocked at it all - actually, by the attitudes to alcohol too. The seriousness with which the under 21 laws are taken is just breathtaking for someone who has been getting drunk in pubs since I was 13.

I write him a letter every day - even though he is only 1 at the moment. I think I will probably give them to him when he is mature enough to appreciate what they mean, rather than just what they say, although after what you said, I might start sending him some more age-appropriate ones now. Thank you.
