By the way i keep seeing people listing the recent quake statistics from JMA in japanese. There is an english version here: http://www.jma.go.jp/en/quake/quake_singen_index.html

"Has anyone just seen that new footage that someone took of the tsunami eating up a town called Minamisanriku." yep they showing it over and over on nhk now. it irritates me seeing that group of 8 people or so in the bottom left hanging around and not escaping the oncoming water. in the end about half of them get washed away.

Does anyone know if the power outages are going to be all japan or only in kanto?

not that i am religious one way or another, but there is something about comments like that from religious leaders that irritates me. words are cheap. on saturday AM a jahovers witness came by and i almost gave her a slap, she did a runner sharpish when she saw the look on my face. it just seemed in such extreme bad taste to be knocking on peoples doors at that time with their pathetic gibberish

this is the link to watch if you are worried about nuclear radiation leak: http://www.tepco.co.jp/en/index-e.html

no it is probably 90 mins long. i watched a load on youtube and some of those are on the dvd, but i found that the youtube clips are just short extracts from the longer episodes on the dvd. the kids are rolling on the floor at it, but for me the voiceover spolis it too much. i am going to put a review on amazon lambasting them at some point.

Got the DVD and the kids are watching it now. They are in hysterics. Its quite long, good value. The only annoying thing is the voice over, totally unnecessary and they didnt bother to add an option to turn it off.

it happened at 2:45PM and everyone carried on working as usual in my office. it wasnt until about 8PM that i had the kids in bed and turned on the tv/net that i found out what happened. colleagues and people on the train carried on 100% like nothing had happened!

family in nagano city said they are fine and hardly felt it. seems like nozawa onsen and niigata got the worst of those 4AM / 7AM quakes. Looking at the data from JMA, seems there was quite a bit of activity in that exact region (Sanriku Oki) the big quake hit in the 2 days before: http://www.jma.go.jp/en/quake/quake_local_index.html

in your case (no bank acc.) postal account will be safest and best. in some countries the best rates are at high street semi-blackmarket places (e.g. thailand) but they dont seem to exist here in japan or uk.

i felt it here in kobe, and we are a LONG way away from where the quake hit. i thought was going to faint for a while because my balance was going...found out an hour later it was actually an earthquake.

poor old newsreaders, they will be all doing a late shift tonight. i see the yen took a bit of a dive, i wonder what the economics effects are going to be next week.

not sure, i just saw that there was a competition on youtube to make your own morph video (using the modelling kit), and the vids were all well dodgy including the ones that won. they said they only got 134 videos, which would suggest it is as painstaking as it looks to do one.

I dont have a wii but i heard the hardware/software is the same everywhere. if so, i would imagine you can set the wii to UK settings and uk login and then use proxy server to go online from UK IP and access UK contents.

hehe get in. I wish I had seen that. They should have tipped a huge bucket of the wine over their heads at the end too.

It must be a pain to make the morph and get it right though, judging by the amateur morph vids on youtube.

If its a 'grand cru' then it means it is expensive and you have to fawn over your host or whoever brought it. Wine is the ultimate in Emperor's new clothes. Even the experts cant tell what is expensive or not one a blind test. Its like a BS competition watching people 'taste' it and describe the flavors - come on get over yourself really you pretentious SOB.

Apparantly Fergie wont interview with the BBC because they did a docu on his dodgy son who is an agent. Toys left right and centre!

I seriously want to get the morph modelling kit, would be awesome on a rainy day: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Plasticine-Own-Morph-15-Episode-DVD/dp/B001691ARQ

oooooooooooooooooooh yeh. 3-0! smack that arse

I reckon he was bot. SJF uber-programmers were playing some elaborate Turings Test experiment on us.

its funny, the ones i was watching on youtube seemed to be different to the morph i remembered. i guess they made a new series of it at some point. i dont remember the white morph, and his face looks different. anyway, the new ones on youtube are funny too. shame theres no torrents of the original morph.

yup: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Morph-Files-DVD-Neil-Morrissey/dp/B0001XLXP2

this thread made me buy the dvd. couldnt find any torrents. thats the power of freeing your content by putting it online! it leads to sales!

Wiggles, i heard it should work even with wii channel, but i think the wii settings or your login account has to be set to a uk address. Thats from my research when i was looking into proxies, not personal xp.
