I've had a short stint in KFC too. I smelt of KFC almost constantly.

Yeah I know 1 is distance and the other "express" when I sometimes have 2 tickets for 1 journey, but why oh why don't they just give you 1 ticket??

It deserves some, but maybe not quite as much as it gets

I have taken some beautiful paintings home (done on Japanese papar) that went down really well.

Apart from generaly politeness levels and keigo and difficult stuff like that, I always have big problems with stupid little things that should be quite easy to master. Like how to address people properly (san, anata, etc) and the words to use when talking about myself and own family (watashi, boku, etc) and things like that. It really bugs me.

Got myself a new ipod - very excited!

The price might be good but what about the beer? XXXX was popular ages ago at our college too, along with Grolsch (which was more expensive and more of a status symbol).

Going back to fruit.... our supermarket used to do "Egg Days" when eggs were ludicrously cheap - now they have "Banana Days" every Monday and bananas are less than 50% normal price. So its bananas all round on Mondays and Tuesdays.

I'd love to have done it before I got caught up in "career".

You think so, bored me. Stupid White Men is good.

You think so, bored me. White Men Are Stupid is good.

Don't count them out. I'm sure scouser and bobby aren't!

Anyone tried or know someone on the Atkins diet?

Basically Bez danced his own special dance holding some maraccas, and looked spaced out all the time. Probably because he was. Class act.

Too right.

Not according to Fergie. Who do YOU believe?

Anyone else in love with Cinnabons? They are just so delicious it's unreal - I wish there were more in Japan. If you haven't already, well worth trying out.

I really do want to make it to New Zealand one day, it looks so beautiful. If it's cheap as well, thats just great.

I'd be a "Bez".

Theres a few other bond ski chases isn't there? Another good one in For Your Eyes Only (if you can just pretend it isn't a 60 year old Roger Moore.)

Flight time plus - about 2 hours in Japan - about 2 hours the other end - time messing about in the airport What do you do in that hour or 2 between checking in and boarding?

That looks interesting for sure. I'm surprised they didn't enter that market sooner.

More quakes today in the Tochigi region this morning. I arrived in the area (Fukushima side) last night visiting some friends. It's not near to where the main wobbling was, but I got wobbled all the same. Frightening feeling.

Perhaps. In which case he has not taste at all Guinness is very fine

Haha, some great ones there folks!
