Have you been there MO?

[London Olympics 2012]

Marathon at the moment.

 

They run faster over 42km than Incan probably for 100m. Amazing.

[Gambarimasho!]

Really?

[London Olympics 2012]

surprising myself by watching a fair bit.

Looking forward to the 100 tonight

[Colorado theater shootings]

Apparently, since Friday over 40% rise in the number of people in Colorado seeking license for guns.

[Colorado theater shootings]

The National Rifle Association, apparently unaware of the news, posted this colossally ignorant tweet this morning, “Good morning, shooters. Happy Friday! Weekend plans?”

[Colorado theater shootings]

This is just so depressing.

 

12 dead, 70 casualties.

 

This dude bought 4 weapons legally in the last few months.

[Roadkill experiment]

Trucks and SUV drivers! Pffft.

It does a bit, doesn't it.

 

But it isn't!

[To vest or not to vest?!?]

There's only a few months of the year when I don't wear that second layer.

But in summer the see-through shirt just isn't good.

[What Other Sports Are You Into?]

Started watching that final and ended up watching it all.

Surprised how much I enjoyed watching tennis actually.

[Question to our igirisujin posters...]

Do you call yourself English (Scottish, Welsh) or British?

 

Actually, are Scotland and Wales actually included in the Japanese イギリス?

[Guess Where This Is]

It kind of reminds me of Zao..

[I wanna SLAP people when...]

they say 検討します when what they really mean is NOOOOOOO!

 

Heh, I find I do that myself.

 

Yes kento shimasu is very useful

[Pay as little tax as possible - would you?]

It may not be mega-rich but it sure isn't "poor" is it?

It's definitely very well off and way above the average professional wage in the UK.

 

And you think £1350 tax on an income of £280,000 sounds reasonable? For example.

When someone on one tenth of that income will pay more?

[Pay as little tax as possible - would you?]

The Times used the example of someone earning £280,000 per year, showing how one could technically get away with paying only £1350 tax on this income.

 

It's not right that people can get away with doing that.

 

Wonder what the accountants bill is? And if they pay the tax?

[Wanted posters for subway attacker]

Absolutely. Timing had to be exactly the same throughout the country. Ichi, ni, san.... hai.

[The day the tax came]

They do it so you can cool off for the weekend.
