Should be fine, that.

What's Bob up to at the moment, SJ-David?

It's safe to say you'll get teh cash onehunga, so there's no risk in starting to spend it now.

Gambare! May not get to kakaku levels, but will be fun to see which of the chains wins.

I can't remember the name, but the taxi companies offer a service where two drivers come....one to drive you home and the other to drive your car home. What's that service called? And...how does insurance work on that? Say if the taxi driver driving your car had an accident....

Been making some pizzas myself recently.

I love all the 'on the street' interviews they have with ordinary folk. 'Atsui desu ne'. Next one: 'Atsui desu ne'. Next one: 'Hijou in atsui desu ne'.

I'll have some chips, fried, crisps, wedges and potato chips please!

I would guess that June and July are the peak demand months for aircons and you'd be able to get a better deal in September.

Just thought I would share this bit of info..... it seems that soon there will be some kind of 'eco point' type thing from the govt. available for people getting a pellet stove. That would be on top of any town specific cashback. No details but will post more when I get those.

Guess what I found at the weekend.... some Aki Aji. It still tasted good.

Traffic dudes with flags. They stop you, even when there's no-one coming and it's clear to see. Then when you stop, they let you go. Gits.

I think I'll stick to chicken and pork.

They sure do get those frames up quick when they get going.

Perhaps I got my numbers mixed up there, I'll check on that. Can't help think sometimes there's "too much thinking" done.

No doubt you could put rabbit pellets in there if you wanted to break your stove. Doesn't sound like a smart idea to me though. You can stuff 30kg into the stove we are probably going to get, Jynxx. It uses a not inconsiderable volume of them - the showroom guy said that they can use nearly 10kg in a 8am-6pm day with it on full blast. That was a very large room, probably close to 3 times larger than our room. A bag of pellets can cost 300-600 yen, depending on if you want crappy or quality ones. It's not going to be our only heating option, more of a luxury for those long leisurely

There's + and - for both wood and pellets. In our opinion, a quality pellet stove is the preferred option. This is after doing lots of research and thinking about it. (Otherwise, we would be planning to buy a wood stove ) Let's enjoying our choices.

You might be talking about firewood. I'm talking about a pellet stove. They are not the same.

What happens when they run out of other people. Eat themselves?
