Nope.

[What is the point of this spam?]

OK I got some junk mail just now and:

 

a) there was no link in it

it was plain text

c) there was no mention of a company etc.

d) there was no attachment.

 

So.... what possible use could that be? I can understand if there are links and stuff, but with this I just can't understand the purpose. Is there one?

[War of the Worlds cd]

I used to really love that. Not heard it for ages though. I think they rereleased a remastered souped up version of it last year.

[A new way to ride?]

A pillow?

[Kagura Sludgefest]

Me too.... I've PMd you Orinoco - perhaps we could hook up?

[If you have a quarrel, what do you do?]

Once or twice when I was younger, I got into some fights........

 

I wonder where that person went.

[Shiga Kogen photos]

That place looks awesome, I really have to make it there some time.

[Not bad work if you can get it]

Apparently it is not true.

 

(Until it is confirmed to be true of course)

[Norton system works]

Does anyone have this software on their computer? Run well or not? Heard so many conflicting reports about it.

[Chokuegambo]

Same here. I think they made it up!

[New year food]

Theres a lot of that - even the obasans are drinking sake.

[Xbox 360]

Officially about 38000 yen I think, but you can get them a few thou cheaper than that.

Whats Japan like at rugby?

[Cheap and expensive things in Japan]

I love silk. I'm into it in a big way. It really turns me on. I can't concentrate if I'm wearing silk..

[Saddam "buoyant"]

Hardly heard a thing about Saddam for ages. Looks like his trial starts soon

Saddam Hussein is in good spirits on the eve of his trial in Baghdad, his lawyer is reported as saying. The former Iraqi leader will be led into court on Wednesday with seven associates, charged with ordering the killing of 143 Shia men in 1982.

[Best spam subject line]

I got one that had the subject line

 

"I am going to sue you"

 

They didn't.

[English to be taught at elementary schools]

Perhaps you are not getting the point. Current elementary school teachers will have to teach English - whether they (currently) are able to or not. It's causing quite the fuss.

[Taking stuff from hotels]

If it's a nice big bottle I won't take it. But if it's a small sachet of shampoo and the like - that is something I would take no problems.

As for the shower gel etc..., meant to be used on the spot, not to be stocked-up and taken away to be used at home.

Used in the hotel or taken home - does it make any difference to the hotel?? Not sure I can see any difference there. Bottom line is surely the hotel expects it to be gone in most cases.

[Japan "earthquake map"]

Interesting I wonder if this counts, mag 6.2

[English to be taught at elementary schools]

 Quote:

What, panicking about having to teach kids?

Panicking about having to teach something you have no qualifications to teach or experience. Like most elementary school teachers.

[what's everybody listening to now?]

I like the one by The Bravery. The Killers as well. Lots of "The"s around right now.

[English to be taught at elementary schools]

I see that in just over 2 years, eigo lessons will start in all Japans elementaty schools. I bet there's a lot of teachers in a panic at the thought right now (I know a few here).

[Hakuba season pass with 30,000 yen]

Hey thanks for that. I'm not sure I'd have shared

[gifu best spots..]

I just come back late to try and avoid all this. I hate traffic queues..... and ones on expressways where you're actually paying at the worst of the lot!

[Nihonjin LOVE TV]

Where actually is Dash Mura?
