Just been a piece on CNN about how, apparently, a lot of gaijin execs are still leaving Japan 'in large numbers'. Not just those feathered-friends who fled in the days after March 11th, but a flow of 'highly educated execs' continuing to leave even now as worries increase. They interviewed a family leaving Tokyo for China 'we don't know if we can drink the water or not, etc'. This a big of sensational reporting, or actually happening?

Retromania, by Simpn Reynolds is an interesting read.

I do think that rule is a bit too strict. Bolters are punished by being more wary the second time enough.

Does Viz make all these up themselves or do people send them in? Always make me chuckle, some laugh out loud.

This is a very sobering program, to say the least.

Going to check that place out this weekend I think.

Transformers 3 is getting panned. I quite liked the first one.

In his next one he should just say "If I were living in Japan..... well, I just wouldn't be living in Japan!"

Here's my one experience. The deposit I had - and had actually forgotten about - was 130,000 yen. I had been in the place more than 5 years and it was pretty lived in. Nothing major but a fair few knocks and a tatami in a less than fine state. I don't know what I was expecting but I got 60,000 yen back. I did get a list of things but I felt they actually missed a few things so in a way I considered myself lucky so accepted it. The whole thing generally seems very shady though from what I have heard and I can imagine a lot of people being taken advantage of. Perhaps even I wa

Interesting plan ESR. I'm curious about this buying and selling a car. I presume of course you know it's not as easy as going and buying something off the shelf of a shop?

Never had a proper Cumberland sausage, would really like to though. Sausages are crap here.

It is always fun to be the guilty one and cleverly to shift blame.

Bad news folks. He said he got it wrong.... and it is really October..... The California preacher who declared that the world would end last weekend has corrected his unfulfilled predictions, saying he was, in fact, five months off. Harold Camping, a retired civil engineer who predicted that 200 million Christians would be taken to heaven on Saturday before the Earth was destroyed, readjusted his prophecy yesterday, saying Judgment Day will actually occur on October 21. Mr Camping said he felt so terrible when his doomsday prediction did not come true that he left home and took refu

I never got Dr No. I suppose you need to be old.

A cardboard box, I think, pie-eater.

I simply don't trust the whole thing. We are being drip fed progressively bad stuff. Why isn't this increasing murmurs about contaminated veggies etc in places far away not getting more coverage.

Sam Biddle —The flow of bad news (and radiation) out of Fukushima's reactors has diminished to a trickle over the past several weeks, as rescue work has proceeded. Not today. TEPCO's admitted for the first time that Fukushima experienced a full meltdown. The possibility of a meltdown has been floating in the air since the earthquake and subsequent explosions first rocked the roof off of Fukushima, spreading radiation, confusion, and displacement across the local populace (and beyond). Since then, TEPCO workers and the Japanese government have desperately struggled to keep the nuclear fuel

Engineers from the Tokyo Electric Power company (Tepco) entered the No.1 reactor at the end of last week for the first time and saw the top five feet or so of the core's 13ft-long fuel rods had been exposed to the air and melted down. Previously, Tepco believed that the core of the reactor was submerged in enough water to keep it stable and that only 55 per cent of the core had been damaged. Now the company is worried that the molten pool of radioactive fuel may have burned a hole through the bottom of the containment vessel, causing water to leak. "We will have to revise our plans," sai

Back to Fukushima, the latest controlled trickle of bad news is that No1 reactor now officially has 'meltdown' status.

At least the apes don't know the consequences of the silly habit!

It's funny watching ladyboy struggling at chelsea too.

I still do!
