Been in that kind of situation myself. Often it's a case of pride and/or just not wanted to look as though you're backing down (not saying this is what is in your case of course). If it's worth salvaging, one of both of you will have to turn on the heating.

Sex Lives of the Potato Men is particularly bad. Got Tim out of The Office and some fat bloke called Johnny Vegas.

12 days

Syriana was good. Requires your full attention.

How did Jon Steward do anyone? Saw a few of his lines "Bjork could not be here - she was trying on her Oscar dress and Dick Cheney shot her." "Tonight is the night we celebrate excellence in film - with me, the fourth male lead from Death to Smoochy." Host Jon Stewart offered up his acting credentials early on.

That Japanese figure skater with the funny mouth/face is annoying with her constant droning of "I can do it because of the support"-like comments. And her strange mouth. Ando seems to be falling over a lot practising here 4 turns.

I bet he meant in Pretty Woman. Is Richard Gere gay?!?! Sure hadn't heard that.

Do people really wear those hats still?

Very cool. Did you get a pic snowglider

How much different from normal brandy was that apple one spud? I usually really don't like spirits, though I like fruity things. (Have to be careful when to eat or drink them though )

Bad Santa. Hilarious!

I like 47. Gala is good when there's not many people around.

Anyone been to Naeba over Christmas new year. Seems they are closed today due to the avalanche they had yesterday. I was planning on going the day after tomorrow.

There's some good pics of Ryuo on here if I remember correctly. I'm heading over there (Nozawa) myself in a few weeks for 5 days or so, and might want to try a few other nearby places as well.

Nice friends indeed.

Nice start, hey? Thanks for the pic!

Apart from the people who go, they get a lot of "publicity" from it I imagine. Still hard to see what use it is.

I bet he scares them off. As for eating dog.... don't do it!

The setting - a meeting. I say: "I don't want coffee. I don't even really like coffee. No thanks. I don't need a drink" 2 minutes later, coffee in front of me. What is getting lost in translation?

3 days is a good time to spend at a decent place. I can't be moving every day lots of time waster. If I had a full week, I'd probably split it into 2.

One of the best places near Tokyo is Kagura isn't it?

Usually just the name. Dear for my parents.

I've discussed this with my friends and they seem to understand the situation and how it can cause offence. One friend I know insists on calling foreigners "gaijin-sama" which seems to take it a bit far! Very well meaning person..

I've often heard less than brilliant reports about the snow at Shiga Kogen - it seems they don't get masses up there. Is that right?

The Fattest Man in America, just started.
