and why would the default be set to off???

is that normal doc?? i had to keep logging out and having a look whenever someone mentioned a funny avatar etc..

probably... can't see them

yay... finally got their attention. i can't see everyone's user pictures when i'm logged in. i must be right right down the bottom on the list of privileges..

because i thought this would be quicker... it's a nice system. you have more privileges when you are an anoymous user...

i've seen them give permission through threads like this before... just gotta get their attention.

SJ#4, SJ#6 - can i pretty please get permissions???

it makes it even more disgusting that this thread was started by '2pints,mate'. excuse me while i throw up...

Is it because they don't provide bins on/near the beaches?? It's quite a simple council service that would surely help somewhat.

i agree with thursday.. she's using you for your english...

i reckon a great teacher for driving is computer games. get a pretty realistic game like Forza 2 and you learn a lot about car physics and how to handle speed, cornering, braking etc.. i also found driving on dirt roads in australia to be great practice for snowy/icy roads in japan!

so glad i got my license in australia before all that log book crap came in. seems rather complicated these days. my dad told me a story of when he got his license out in the sticks in western nsw- they asked him if he wanted other licenses too and so starting ticking boxes for a bike, truck license. thanks to that he can legally drive anything up to those massive road trains! in japan everyone goes to driving schools to get their licenses. no mummy and daddy teaching here. costs quite a bit it seems too. schools seem like a good idea but people really need a good amount of hours drivi

I think the important thing is making people informed about how alcohol affects them when they drive. I think australia does a good job here and people are quite knowledgeable about it. In japan i know some people who think that one sip is gonna make them go crazy and crash their cars. same thing with drugs i think. people need to be made know what something will do to them and what the consequences will be. zero tolerance policies rarely work in my opinion..

I thought for teachers it was automatic expulsion if they get caught drink driving... guess it depends on the local board of education's decision. had my japanese flatmate get done for drink driving with 5 of us in his car. he knew he was done so he bolted and tried to outrun them. i could suddenly see the headlines in the paper of 5 dead in a drink driving crash so i pleaded with him to stop. we stopped and i got told by my other japanese mates to act like i was asleep cause passengers can also get done for the same charge as the driver (though in reality it's rarely enforced). my mate d

let's hope Schumacher's neck is okay. That Massa crash was bad. Freak accident. Let's hope he can come back okay. Does anyone give Webber a chance of chasing down Button in the championship? He's been consistent recently but needs to win a couple more.

Fukushima is a 90 mins north of Tokyo by bullet train. Thursday's squiggle says Hong Kong...

but seriously, i did get RROD once about 18 months back now. actually it had a different problem and i deliberately overheating the bugger till it got the red lights. call up the support line and they sent a courier to pick it up the next day. was fixed and back to my place in 8 days, all free. service in Japan is awesome! and i guess it helped that the place where they fix them is only 1 hour away from where i live.

if you've got the money i'm sure they can accommodate to any request. they might not list that service on their websites but you can always ask!
