Well I am sure a lucky guy. It's my birthday today and I got a silver one as a present Very nice present! and nice surprise.

I don't know much to compare with (seeing as though I live here) but I was surprised at how fast the web seemed the short time we were in Japan. Perhaps its better I don't know the details!

I really can't imagine what 40 degrees feels, esp in a big city like Tokyo and having to wear a suit and commute etc etc - sounds like Hell.

Go on Plucky!

I actually did have a bad headache once and they gave me a better seat.

Not my kind of thing, but it does seem to get a lot of exposure

I like jumpers, leave off them. They suit me and I look sexy in them.

I havent the slightest idea what I have. How do I find out. I couldnt find detailed info.

I have no idea about the place, but it sounds cool. My image is "ice". Is that embarassingly wrong?

Whilst it is certainly a bummer..... ......If its worth so much to them, and it represents such a large amount of work, blah blah --- they should bloody well take more care of it! (Anyone got a copy?)

Do not try this at home! (Or even nearby) http://www.whowantsabalti.com/videos/bus-dodge.wmv Not too sure if this roofblading looks like much fun either: http://www.whowantsabalti.com/videos/roofblading.wmv

So when do they decide to cancel unused accounts?

My brand is far too good to change. I just need an Avatar.

Nice one Ocean11! (I'll keep that in mind. If I'm in Japan. And need a lawyer. )

Yes. Oh gosh. The simple point was this. You often see people saying "I'm going to call my lawyer". As if they have one waiting in the wings, you know someone they talk with often and do a lot of dealings with, etc Anyway, its hardly important!!

Surprise surprise. Yet again, UK price = US/av. world price converted to UK pounds at the exchange rate PLUS 50%. Who is responsible for that situation, it is seriously pissing me off being ripped for everything. Oh yeah, the blue one looks good.

Sometimes I think Japan is mad.

How many times have we heard that in a movie or on telly? So do people in real life "have a laywer"? I certainly don't. And none of the people I know do either.

Quote: However, old salarymen who are about to get the sack or who come to work but not to work, just to appear as they are working (as a lot of Japanese people do) get the "madogiwa" seat and it does not have good connotations. And the company knows about and is ok with that? Sounds like a good company to work for.

Raise the Red Lantern - I'll check it out. Cheers.

Do wine maker people really do that? Isn't it all rather unhygenic?

I cant imagine living somwehere so hot and humid without airconditioning - how do you survive and keep sane?

We all trust Microsoft. (Of course!)
