Hope to get minaPod soon. It seems like tough work getting all the tracks in the thing, but once they're there.

I've got a client at the moment. She is one of those people who uses 5000 words when she could say what she has to say in 15 words. It is driving me nuts. You know the type? I just get so wound up listening to her, but try ever so hard not to show my frustration. God, it must be hell having to live with that.

That woman really makes me laugh, but I should be scared some of the stuff she goes on about. It's a shame she doesn't have her own daily show on that channel. She is sometimes a guest on some of the programs on Fox News, but its pretty irregular.

It's another good thing about being in the countryside and higher up - but it still gets bloody hot here as well. I'd hate to have to wear a suit in a city and commute, that must be hell.

A rubbish sounding word if you ask me. Here's what dictionary.com tell us: A choice morsel, as of gossip or food: “The book is chock-full of colorful tidbits about theater and theater people” (Alec Guinness).

Yes, in Japanese.......

I'm off late August for a couple,

I was fed it once as well - without knowing what it was. Quite nice actually, better than the fish.

Add me to the list. Getting rid of some of the bulk. Time for action. Its nice running round here too, surrounded by mountains.

Recently we've been getting a few calls coming in that start off by asking you something strange things like "You are using a Ricoh copy machine now, aren't you?" or "Last time we spoke...." (when we never spoke before) something else confusing like that just to get you talking. I'm getting pissed off with this type of crappy sales calls, anyone else getting them at all or is it a local thing in this area.

I wonder where all this fits in with not paying bills from 5 years ago and ducking ropes, starting a war, etc etc

But it will be interesting to see just how bad it is. I think its a very flawed idea right from the start.

Thats a major fashion item in these parts.

Hmmm. Boston. I used to love that first lp of theirs.

When I first did a spyware check on my system I was really shocked at how much there was on there. Recommend everyone do it if they havent't already.

This may well be a silly question! But here goes anyway. It seems that I/my company did not pay a bill for services provided that dates way back about 5 years. I do not recollect not paying (or paying for that matter), but also do not recollect ever being invoiced. But now all of a sudden invoices are coming. What I want to know is ----- do I really have to pay this even if it is from so long ago and they did not bill me until now? (Its quite a lot and not budgeted for). Here's hoping there might be some strange time-out!

I'm the boss, so I use it as much as a I want - but usually not that much. Coz I'm the boss and I want to make some money!

I went up to Tenjin a few days ago. It was crap, I think thats the end of my season on the hills. Take a bit of a rest, do some work, visit my parents in summer - then we'll be all the way back to the fun before-season-buildup period.

I wonder what other crazy development plans there were back when resorts were splashing the cash? Seriously though, Naspa to Ishiuchi - sounds more like a chore than something interesting.

Tanigawa - open but may disappoint you.

Fish and Chips. Good Indian restaurants.

I have a near skinhead in summer, grow it long from October onwards all through winter. Just got it all shorn off again the other day

Well I happen to like that law. It gives us small businesses a break.

Got a while left to go up at Tenjin.

Living up here means that there aren't too many big shops, so unless I want to take a trip to the city, the internet is where I do lots of my shopping.
