Europe March and April, 2003.

A trip to the London Book Fair in March saw me spend five weeks in London, and a few days in Paris. Highlights included being in London when war broke out with Iraq. The protests at Westminster Square on Wednesday March 19 were tumultuous, the protest at Hyde Park the following Saturday were the largest anti war protest ever during time of war and were inspiring to see. Everywhere I went, the antiwar sentiment was strong.
However, there's more to life to celebrate that to protest about - like the Australian victory over the Indian in the World Cup Cricket. Patriotism is the last refuge of the scoundrel? Who gives a fig - anyone prepared to set their head on fire over a
cricketing triumph gets my vote… As Australia butchered India, The Walkabout went bananas. One bloke got so excited he decided to turn himself into a candle… Note his mate's inept attempt to put him out with a pint that missed that the mark, and onlookers had to help out with their drinks…
