I like wearing jackets, this time of year suits me just fine. -
You're really stretching yourself there rahul - we got a time this time round. You've even pinpointed "north eastern" Honshu rather than just "Eastern". I think the whole area should be evacuated without delay.

Yeah I was surprisingly warm yesterday. Moving about I was sweating quite a lot. -
I just read this article about teachers judging students by their name - and thinking up front who were the good kids and the bad ones. Good list: Kate, Gregory, Sean, Charlotte, Jamie, Daniel, Lucy, Isobel, Ben, Sam, Harpreet, Imran, Asam, Alice and Joseph Bad list: Bobbi-Jo, Kloe, K'tee, Kristopher, Jayne, Wayne, Charlie, Liam, Ryan Jordan, K'tee, Kloe and Bobbi-Jo are all names to make some teachers' hearts sink, apparently.

xxx replied to guzzlers-baps's topic in General off-topic discussions

I'd have to be pretty long for sure, though I suppose direct from there to Naeba may well be shorter than we imagine. -

xxx replied to Dokumanju's topic in General off-topic discussions
Not as memorable, no. I've been listening to a bit of Air recently - Talkie Walkie, Moon Safari... -
