  1. Hah yes the support is great but somehow strangely detached from the actual game. No wanking gestures to the opposing fans etc.
  2. You will need a day at Joetsu Kokusai to ride the (slow) lifts But seriously, looks like a plan.
  3. What was the reason for the square melons again?
  4. The original "bubble" plan was from Shibuya to Mt Granview, but they have since re-thought it to be a still mega gondola going from Ishiuchi Hanaoka to Mt Granview, if I remember correctly.
  5. I remember seeing a story on the news about this sort of thing a month or two ago. Forget the details, but it seems to be surprisingly hard to condemn and tear down an old, decrepit house. The town needs to find the owner and get their permission. Often the owner does not have the money to tear the old house down, and the removal of a "residential" structure (even if not practically habitable) would cause the tax on the land to shoot up (due to bubble-era anti-speculation tax rules), and the owner cannot afford the higher tax, so they just leave it in shambles. The town really needs to be
  6. Thanks for the update, muikabochi. Skijo almost never look good when there's no snow - and with a resort in transition such as Mt Granview we can't expect it to be all pretty. Will be nice and shiny by December for sure!
  7. In fact, do places take back unused stuff like this, it's a terrible waste.
  8. OK so I thought I would update this. The huge bags of sweeties (medicine) that was brought back remain mostly untouched and I suppose will be binned.
  9. I get that impression as well. People seem to go with the slightests of colds. On the other hand I go only if I am half dead or equivelant.
  10. My lady had just come back from the doctor. Had a bit of a cold this week and coughing last night. Doctor said it was just a cold but, get this, she comes home with a bag that has 6 (SIX!) different medicines for her to take. Six! Is this normal for a cold?!
  11. On the subject of flights.... here's one that always confuses me. How come they say that you can take on one "hand luggage", but a fairly big computer case doesn't seem to count? I can never quite understand that. If I took the case, stuffed with baked beans instead of a computer, would it suddenly become a problem? And do they ever weigh hand luggage? Often they don't even look at it.
  12. Does the price of Macs on the official store (or elsewhere) go down over time? I think I read somewhere that the price pretty much stays the same, even in the days before a refresh of the line. So people are essentially paying the premium prices from a year ago on something that is a year old only to be replaced and updated. Is that true?
  13. I got this bought as well after seeing this post and reading up on it. Should get it in a few days from the UK and looking forward to giving it a look over.
  14. Would not complain about living in Minakami or Katashina, that's for sure!
