And here it is: Fat snowflakes were falling as we walked through the pine forest along a path deep in powder when something suddenly caught my attention through the branches. A flash of pink, and then another – two bare bottoms that suddenly dropped out of sight into a thick white cloud. The path turned into a series of slippery, ice-coated stone steps and descended to a series of small pools, just visible through the fog of steam that rose gently from their surface.

Isn't a Hokkaido shink planned - extended from the Tohoku to Sapporo? How close to Niseko would that get? -
Buying rounds. (And sponging)

Not too keen on the rounds thing. Foe enkais at work, usually cheaper for the ladies as they usually drink less. -

Heard more of the story, from my friend. Apparently, her friend was taking her out for lunch. Her friend and boyfriend that is, the boyfriend has a sporty bmw. So the three of them went in this guys car round country lanes. He was "showing off" a bit, lost control and did a few flips. All three died.

Yes Novak, I'm talkin' to YOU. - immediate end to the utterly ludicrous custom whereby we have constantly to be reminded of female players' marital status. They've done away with "Miss Williams" and "Mrs Clijsters" in the USA, let's follow suit. Football - knock one zero off the end of every premiership footballer's salary - maybe two, in fact. - any
