BTW, asoko wa doko? Furano?

You need to give the man in the background making the pages at least a few seconds to do his thing, kokodoko!!

Surely Yuzawa is mad easy from Saitama if you are near a shink station and that cost is ok with you>?

There seems to be a fair dose of cynicism in foreign reports on this. Sadly no 'underline' really...

Is that a ski hill in the distance there?

Alcohol-induced hangovers will be a thing of the past thanks to a new over-the-counter remedy say U.S. scientists. A single dose of Blowfish can eradicate all symptoms sparked by a night of heavy drinking, such as nausea, vomiting and fatigue, in just 15 minutes. Hailed as a miracle cure by its maker, the pill - which contains 500 milligrams of aspirin, 60 milligrams of caffeine and an antacid to soothe upset stomachs - is already available online.

One day I will go and meet the icon and have my photo taken there. Do they do special tours from the main station?

Or actually are they? I remember last year when I got some I ended up getting XL "boarding" gloves as they were a better fit than XL "ski" gloves. Same this year. Am I imagining it or is it so? (And why?) Anyway fingers will be all toasty again with a good new pair bought yesterday.

Oops, my mistake. Working now. Swooshy flying icon-tastic!

I can't get it to work!!

Yes different set FatBob.

Well I put on a few at least this summer. Time to do something about it I think.

What is zavvi?

Just not having to pay for re-entry is good. A surprising move I think, good source of income surely for doing nothing at all.

First day back. Glad to be back home after a boring boring day.

Alan Partridge funny

Has it calmed down now? Doesn't seem to be making the headlines now.

Last night some great big huge hairy insect flew straight into my chin while I was out on my bike. Looked and felt massive. Yikes that was scary. Hate insects. They should be banned, I say.

What's your night time aircon routine? I have been having it turn off about 2am. Otherwise can't get to sleep. Last night though woke up about 10 minutes after it turned off hot and sweaty so put the thing back on, was on all night!

Yep. Even gaijin who officially become "Japanese".... are still gaijin.

I like watching programs like that. Wish there were more of them.

You might want to check out some Oakleys. They have a big range outside the really sporty looking ones too.

And make the sign bigger!
