NHK is the only thing on Japanese TV I can watch without wanting to leave the country. I dont mind the system, so long as I can get away without paying
Seriously though, they need to get strict about it. In UK you cannot get away with it anymore but here its a joke how easy it is to not pay.

blimey i had forgotten about the liverpool game for a sec there! seems to be on at 6.15am tommorow on 802 (PPV channel).

and do you pay?

various. biggest is 250gb.

Yep he is comedy genius.
Its funny cos I remember when he was on that Channel 4 program, kind of fake comedy news program (not The Day Today but The 11 o clock show which was a much more watered down one with topical comedy based on that weeks news). Him and Ali-g were both on it, and Ali-G soon went on to be a megastar and I remember thinking: "remember that poor old ricky gervais, he kinda sucked. I bet he must be well jealous of ali-g now" only for him to slap Ali-G ass with The Office shortly after.

Totally Off-topic:
Interesting to see that word come up. When I was in university there was this ass-wipe teacher who everyone hated (He went to oxford but somehow ended up at my lowlife uni and was lowest rank teacher there but acted superior all the time. He was too flirty (creepy) with the girls and was nasty to everyone but the course leader was not allowed to sack him). Anyway, he took an especial dislike to me because I turned up late for one of his lectures one time and argued with him when he tried to humiliate me in front of everyone for it. So in my end of year appraisal he said 'do you know the word hubris?'. I said 'no' and he says 'go home and look it up in a dictionary, it describes you'. I just laughed at him and said I don't have a dictionary

Yes it does seem a bit odd to just arbitrarily not enforce the rules, especially since they enforced that lame rule about using only one type of tire in practice for that race and fined the teams who broke that rule. However, if they gave the title to Hamilton now I think no-one would be happy.

liverpool looked crap but we got the 3 points.
hopefully torres will be back soon to bring the rain on arsenal.
-
Well there was nothing between the teams. It came down to a few stupid mistakes by england giving away penalties, and the ref stealing that try from us.
But thats all its and buts, congrats to the south africans, I dont think anyone can really begrudge them coming away winners.
-
Some talk of Martin Oniell being next england manager, or maybe even Mourinho! Either of those would be very nice thankyou.
LFC vs EFC this weekend in high vision glory

Are they still making new series? What series they on now?
Next they will be just using the same VT from previous series and over-dubbing it with new wording.

I agree with spook re. the cynics.
I add that a big thing in making a relationship work is having realistic expectations of your partner. they cannot be all things to you. Looking back on my previous relationships and those of friends I can see that that was the key to the breakdowns. I have a great relationship now and it is because I *accept* my partner, and take the bad with the good.
Also, of course it helps not to marry someone on the spur of the moment.

Indo I think that surely is not true.

I racked my brains of all the characters and managed to remember one that is actually funny: The upper-middle class old woman at the garden fete who pukes up when she finds out the cakes shes eating were made by Pakistanis.
But how they get away with milking the same joke over and over again is quite mysterious. Monty Python used only one scene one time, and they packed that sucka with all the funny potential it could have.
If Little Britain had done 'the parrot sketch' then they would have done it once a week for 3 seasons, each time using 2 or 3 phrases.
-
The Office is the best thing since Monty Python. What else comes close to it?
-
That kinda sucks if you have a masters in teaching/linguistics etc and you can only choose from X number of unis and they pay less than 5m and wont make you a proper full timer.
But I guess thats life, and at least its better than being a philosophy graduate.

Well Russia have to win in Isreal which is far from assured, however Isreal have nothing to play for.
I'm still livid about it, I love the big national championships - they make the summer Great.
-
Not only is every episode in a series the same, but EVERY DAMN SERIES is also exactly the same.
Perhaps it is an art statement, a la Warhol.
-
Ive just seen England got beat 2-1 by Russia and are now likely to not qualify for Euro championships. Theres nothing grimmer than watching a major championship where England are not there (I think the last time was the world cup in the US?). How can we not qualify from that group?!?!?
I'm ready to kick someones ass, that clown McLaren MUST GO. He said before the game that qualification happens in the last few games, not the first ones. WHAT TOTAL NONSENSE - If we had won our early games against the minnow teams we would have qualified already by now.
McLaren Must Go.
edit: ...and I want to see his head on a stick too.

Is 5m+ standard salary for teaching eikaiwa at a uni?

Interesting there are no comments on here from current NOVA teachers.

When I were a lad a Mos Burger burger was just a cow cut in half down the middle with some stale crusts cellotaped to the side.
Pork??? Luxury!

I'll only start complaining about that when Wilko retires

You can input destinations using the phone number, company name etc. Its rare that you cant find the place you want. But you need basic japanese. Mine (Toyota standard one) doesnt have mapcode input as far as i know.
