  1. Predictions and Hopes

     

    Prediction:

    Man Utd 0 - 0 Chelsea

    (man utd win 4-2 on pens)

     

    Hope:

    Man Utd 4 - 5 Chelsea

     

    I actually cant work out who I hate least. My feeling is Chelsea will come and go, so I guess I prefer them to win it. Man Utd are Liverpools main rival for best team in the UK (historically).

  2. I know a little about book off.

     

    From what I could tell from buying from there, they seem to price things to some extent based on how long it has been on the shelf. If they have 3 of one item, you may see one of them cheaper than the others cos it has been on the shelf longer. Prices also vary from shop to shop.

  3. When I was an onsen beginner I used to cover up. As a gaijin everyone wants to know your secret.

     

    But after joining a gym and going in 3 times a week I just got used to it.

     

    I am not yet an expert though, at that stage you can chat openly with people while standing naked in front of them. That one still freaks me.

  4. I spent two weeks in the US and it was the first time in ages I could go more than a few days without having a cold or allergy attack. First day back in Japan and I got massive hayfever and I'm back on the drowsy allergy pills \:\(

  5. "What would happen if both won their games, with Chelsea scoring 20 (or whatever it takes to make up the goal difference)?"

     

    I think it then goes on goals scored, so +50 -30 is better than +40 -20. If I remember rightly that's how Arsenal beat Liverpool to the division one title back in 89 when mickey thomas scored and they beat us 2-0 at anfield.

  6. "I have never had my HD erased, etc "

     

    People who write viruses have no interest in erasing your HD. They are businessmen who want to take control of your PC and use it to steal your identity, or to be part of a `denial of service` attack on a website. They blackmail big sites to pay them to not take them down with such an attack. By using IE, it is far easier for these guys to put a virus on your system. You dont have to open an .exe file or anything, you can get a virus simply by visiting a website. Having these viruses on your system can slow your pc down too. Security means preventing this kind of thing.

     

    A second reason to use FF is all the extensions you can put on it. If you are a power surfer then these come in very handy and save you a lot of time and fiddling.

  7. the pressure of man utd vs liverpool in the final would be unbearable. im sure chelsea will go through, i just think things are against liverpool this time. we got the home leg first, we lost the toss and Terry changed ends, and now we will know that we have man utd in the final before the chelsea game which i think will make a few players snap. i know i would not have the bottle to play man utd in the final as a liverpool player, imagine 'doing a riise' in the final to lose the game, you would be damned for eternity.

  8. The chelsea result wwas great for liverpool. if they had lost they would be 100% focused on weds, but now they will have that nice distraction of the premiership.

     

    we can do it weds, come on u reds.

     

    saw some gossip about if the arabs take over liverpool then they want mourinho for manager, that would be rather interesting.

  9. Whats the word on XP vs Vista?

     

    I just ordered a new laptop, was going to go for vista but the guy who buys the laptops pushed XP on me so I went for it. He reckoned Vista is being discontinued in 2010 and is the new Windows ME. All I know about Vista is that it is 'more secure' according to MS though they dont explain why. And I've heard of compatibility problems with accessories with vista.

  10. There are some around. One or two gyms have them but they tend to be ancient and not used. The Kobe Club has one too but I cant afford to pay their fees just to play squash once or twice a week, plus its an hours drive from me.

  11. KLM to england is good, you get your own tv screen with games etc.

     

    I flew to Oz with Singapore Airlines last week, they are the best airline I've ever been on. They had nintendo games and tons of on-demand movies. Food was good too, and they seemed to come over non-stop with the drinks.

     

    Virgin are meant to be good but Ive never flewn with them.
