Sorry, but I tend to not like it when people talk to me like:
-----
You need to look at this situation outside of reservation system constraints.
I don’t care what your reservation system says now – I am not asking for new accommodation at today’s rates.
-----
As in the "right" as you may well be, it is not the way to get people to do stuff for you.....
In fact, they're back will be up and they'll probably feel the opposite.
Just saying.

Not sure if it is any new coverage, but at the end of the Shimura's animal program at the weekend they said that Pan-kun would be on next week.

Hakuba 47: 17
Hakuba Cortina: 10
Hakuba Goryu: 17 (+)
Happo-one: 4 (-)

Obviously!

We've got some big games up at the front end of the season there.
Should be exciting.
Yes. If we can get a good haul of points from those first games, it will be a fabulous start.

Kimochi warui!

I used to love Becks in those long ago days when he had floppy blond hair, you could actually still see his skin, oh yeah and when he was a brill player!

Too bad, pie-eater.

That's inside your place, ippy?!

Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson: in quotes.
On Ryan Giggs "I remember the first time I saw him. He was 13 and just floated over the ground like a cocker spaniel chasing a piece of silver paper in the wind."
On Gary Neville "If he was an inch taller he'd be the best centre-half in Britain. His father is 6ft 2in – I'd check the milkman."
On Paul Ince "I used to have a saying that when a player is at his peak, he feels as though he can climb Everest in his slippers. That's what he was like."
On Italians "When an Italian tells me it's pasta on the plate I check under the sauce to make sure. They are the inventors of the smokescreen."
On the 1999 Champions League triumph "I can't believe it. I can't believe it. Football. Bloody hell."
On media criticism of Juan Sebastián Verón "On you go. I'm no ****ing talking to you. He's a ****ing great player. Yous are ****ing idiots."
On Liverpool "My greatest challenge is not what's happening at the moment, my greatest challenge was knocking Liverpool right off their ****ing perch. And you can print that."
On the 2003 title race "It's getting tickly now – squeaky-bum time, I call it."
On kicking a boot into David Beckham's face in 2003 "It was a freakish incident. If I tried it 100 or a million times it couldn't happen again. If I could I would have carried on playing!"
On Filippo Inzaghi "That lad must have been born offside."
On Arsène Wenger "They say he's an intelligent man, right? Speaks five languages. I've got a 15-year-old boy from the Ivory Coast who speaks five languages!"
On his former charges as managers "It can be difficult to pinpoint who would make it as a manager. For instance, nobody here thought Mark Hughes would become a manager, never in a million years, and we all thought Bryan Robson was a certainty to be a top manager."
On the referee Alan Wiley "The pace of the game demanded a referee who was fit. It is an indictment of our game. You see referees abroad who are as fit as butcher's dogs. We have some who are fit. He wasn't fit. He was taking 30 seconds to book a player. He was needing a rest. It was ridiculous."
On José Mourinho "He was certainly full of it, calling me boss and big man when we had our post-match drink after the first leg. But it would help if his greetings were accompanied by a decent glass of wine. What he gave me was paint-stripper."
On Rafael Benítez, reacting to the Spaniard's infamous 'facts' press conference "I think he was an angry man. He must have been disturbed for some reason. I think you have got to cut through the venom of it and hopefully he'll reflect and understand what he said was absolutely ridiculous."
On whether Liverpool would win the title in 2007 "You must be joking. Do I look as if I'm a masochist ready to cut myself? How does relegation sound instead?"
On Old Trafford "The crowd were dead. It was like a funeral out there."
On Manchester City's Carlos Tévez poster "It's City isn't it? They are a small club, with a small mentality. All they can talk about is Manchester United, that's all they've done and they can't get away from it."
On City again "Sometimes you have a noisy neighbour. You cannot do anything about that. They will always be noisy. You just have to get on with your life, put your television on and turn it up a bit louder."
On Wayne Rooney's transfer request "Sometimes you look in a field and you see a cow and you think it's a better cow than the one you've got in your own field. It's a fact. Right? And it never really works out that way."
On Cristiano Ronaldo to Real Madrid "Do you think I would enter into a contract with that mob? Absolutely no chance. I would not sell them a virus. That is a 'No' by the way. There is no agreement whatsoever between the clubs."
On Manchester United's 19th league title "It's not so much passing Liverpool. It's more important that United are the best team in the country in terms of winning titles."
And on their 20th "Look at me – it's taken 10 years off me today. It's these tablets, they're great!"

Saw some of that, the bit where the celebs got into a waiting taxi and then the front half of the taxi drove off, leaving the back half.

Pancakes.

Didn't even hear the rumours since yesterday so this was a total shock just now when I looked at the BBC site!
I'm stunned!
I haven't known any other United manager. How mad is that?
-
Good luck with it all, house making people!
-
That Tamori and Minomonta or whatever he's called.... do these guys ever rest?! They seem to be on tv every day.
-
Nice morning now but not too warm.
Having said that, I should complain about cool temperatures. We'll be looking back on them longingly soon enough.
-
Wasn't it when City beat us that the record was out of reach?
Not an entertaining game over the weekend.
-
Definitely. I always enjoy going back to family and getting a dose of UK once a year. And the odd other place I go to.
I always enjoy coming back to Japan though.
-
Would be interesting if it goes to the last game.
Come on Wigan, you can do it!
-
I got my flight booked as well.
It was between BA and KLM. KLM seemed cheaper - once I actually worked out the full price for BA. They don't tell you until a few pages down the line where KLM do.
Apart from BA being BA, that really puts me off.
The 2 baggage thing is an extra, that's great news.

You get deer meat from a local hunter, Chriselle? Where is this?

Are we getting old if we still think we are 21?
