Good: Planet of the Apes (original)(surely) Bad: Planet of the Apes (burton)(surely)

I wonder if she gets her prezzies on her official one or her unofficial one. And does that mean she's like 180 rather than just 90?

Those hotels are good. Cheap too!

Quote: In an average day Roy would have a full English fry-up for breakfast, followed by a coke and a Mars bar mid-morning. Lunch would be fish and chips washed down with more coke. He would tuck into a couple of packets of crisps to stave-off the hunger before home time. Once home, Roy would eat cake or crisps, followed by a full meal - usually fried food. Late evening, in front of the television, Roy would snack on cakes or biscuits. An obese couple with a combined weight of 42 stone are to undergo 'his and hers' gastric bypass operations on the NHS - at a cost of £24,000.

I meant about the gondolas - is that very recent or old news?

soubs, is that actually true? I didn't hear that....

Yes it would be a shame if it changed in that respect I think. Great as it is.

Is it as bad as last year yet? I'm doing ok, I think it was last year when it was just terrible for a period of about 2 weeks I hardly went out locked myself in it was the only way to stay sane.

Some toilets are very difficult to understand when you first visit. I prefer just some paper myself.

It's totally ridiculous isn't it. 35000 is way above the average income for a year. She has no shame.

Nice ones. (I think I've seen some others on here, will try to find them)

Sounds very dramatic. Looks like a wild weekend everywhere.

Got round to reading it. Would really like to know some of the 'politics' that goes on you mentioned.

I'm looking forward to the new REM album. Heard a few tracks from it live and they were good, bit beefier than the weak last collection by all accounts.

Looks like you got some overnight this time muikabochi

A pathetic 2.

My Japanese friend has just got a new one top of the range Carrozzeria one. Very spiffy it is. Even had digital tv. (Goody!!) I went for a drive with him at the weekend and the navigation seemed pretty spot on. Clever little things.

Is the FA cup on tonight on any Japanese channels anyone know?

I might get a dog now. >> A Japanese company is offering its employees a monthly "pet allowance" to help with the upkeep of their cats and dogs. Kyoritsu Seiyaku, which makes animal medicines, said pets were a lifelong obligation for their owners. Kyoritsu Seiyaku is offering its pet-owning employees about $9 (£4.70) per month, and hopes the system will spread to other Japanese firms. The company does not, however, offer paid leave when employees' pets die. "For now, we have introduced only the allowances, but we want to consider the condolence holiday syst

We can sure do without that.

Ho ho ho. I'll be working until Thursday.

NICE!!!!

Quote: Japanese being who they are were not really able to make decisions on their own or voice their own opinions That is such a sweeping statement.... (who are the "racists" again?) I know plenty Japanese who are very able to make decisions on their own and certainly do voice their own opinions.

I bet lots in places that are not seeing boom times are just hurting more.
