They don't seem to be able to get along do they?
Both Dave Gilmour and Roger Waters are going on solo tours. Funny how they are advertising it.
"The Voice and Guitar of Pink Floyd"
and
"The Creative Genius of Pink Floyd"
Not mad on Gilmours new album.

Where Toque and Fattwins go seems by far the best!
Went up to Kagura on Sunday and that's it for me. It was ok, nothing more.

The single even has California in the name.
I like the new Chillis.

Every time I come back home I put any coins in a bit bottle I have. You can really save a lot of money by doing that.

I have been asked if I want to be a nude model for some art students. I just find it really funny and can't imagine doing it. Might be fun though

Such a lovely city as well....

120,000 xboxes in 4 months.
It's not doing well.

April 10, 2006 - Anyone who pays attention to the weekly Japanese game charts could've probably told you this, but Nintendo's Animal Crossing was the biggest game in Japan throughout the fiscal year 2005. Japanese game site Mainichi Interactive, passing along final figures for the year covering 3/28/2005 to 3/26/2006 from publisher and part-time retail tracker Enterbrain, reports that the DS game sold 2.34 million copies, placing it a few hundred thousand units over the second highest game, Final Fantasy XII (2.05 million units).
The DS dominated the top 10 software chart. The third biggest game of the year was Nintendo's DS brain training game, Nou wo Kitaeru Otona no DS Training at 1.85 million units. That title's sequel, Motto Nou wo Kitaeru Otona no DS Training, following in fourth with 1.7 million. Mario Kart DS placed fifth at 1.21 million units.
Nintendo's portable was tops in the hardware scene as well. The DS won the hardware sales race with 4.32 million units sold, destroying the PlayStation Portable, which took 2nd place at 2.07 million units. PS2 managed 1.77 million units, followed by Game Boy Advance SP (600,000), Game Boy Micro (460,000), the extremely sold-out DS Lite (380,000), GameCube (240,000) and Xbox 360 (120,000).
In all, 2005 saw eight games reach million seller status -- higher than usual for the Japanese market. Overall software unit sales increased by 7.9%, but due to budget releases, overall sales stood at 3.09 billion yen, a 0.8% increase over the previous year. The hardware market saw a total of 10.02 million units, an increase of 23.2% over the last year. Overall revenues for hardware reached 1.635 trillion yen, 28.7% up from the previous year.
Enterbrain predicts that the DS will top the 10 million mark this year, as promised by Nintendo president Satoru Iwata, and will go on to reach 14.5 million by the end of 2007.

Didn't feel that one!
How come rahul isn't giving us his predictions anymore? I see him logged in often enough on here.....

When I first came here I enjoyed that, now I try to avoid it. I'd rather have a quieter life.

... on the way from Tsugaike (Nagano) to Itoigawa (Niigata). It was the top of the news tonight.
The news had another incident reported in Hakuba with some people injured.

By the way, what are dates in Japanese? (You know, the dried fruit version of the word)? I can't remember seeing any, and remember really really liking them.
-
They stick to the same streets and don't stealth you like in OZ so it's really easy to avoid if you want to.
....if you know the deal. In a place you're not familiar with, it's very different. (Obviously). It sure isn't worth the risk here.

Recently saw the one about the life of Peter Sellers. I hadn't known his story but it made for an interesting watch. Geoffrey Rush really pulled off the Peter Sellers character.

It was bound to happen. Very clever actually. I wonder if there has been a backlash? Probably not, he's probably raking it in. Yet again. Good for him!
-
I remember that discussion on here as well. Where will that cycle end I wonder? Another early winter next time round as well?
-
A pint or two at lunchtime... do many people still do that over there?
-
None that I've heard of BagOfCrisps.

I hope they secure it real well.

Lettuce.
It is just rubbish.

Yes The Beach was awful.
Date Movie - I saw 10 minutes of it. Very bad.
