That is a good one muikabochi!

Clear with some rain later and pie for tea.

In this case I highly doubt it. He is a successful salesman in his company, good results and popular.

Tea is a bit cliche. Do something different. Presents that have been popular with my friends are framed photos and photobooks of where I'm from.

It is illegal to enter the Houses of Parliament in a suit of armour Damn. I was planning on doing that as well.

It always amazes me when I hear about families living apart from each other because the husband or wives work has moved them out somewhere. Do people not complain about this here or just accept it? I have just heard of another extreme - the family (couple with 2 small kids) are from Chiba and he has just been relocated to Kyushu. From now on for the foreseeable future he will see his family once every few months! He has told me the old "shikata ga nai" as he says bye to his family who are staying behind.

Yes did you miss it?

I've been watching the price of a camera on kakaku over the last 2 weeks. The cheapest price has changed almost daily. Ranging from 96000 yen to 104000 yen - actually getting more expensive each day the last few days. The same thing though costs 140000 yen at my local yamada (admittedly with 10% points back on that). At such a big difference, they can't expect many people to be keen to buy from them.

You mean like this CB?

Friend of mine says he has a 2TB HDD for his external storage. Phew. I remember when I thought my 100GB was the hugest in the world. (I was wrong). How many GB do you have?

Quote: no its Hakuba where there are two girls for every guy Last season? I bet it's different this season.

Ratatouille was excellent. Possibly the best pixar yet.

Is there a Best Hattist award? I might have a chance for that one.

I can DEFINITELY tell the difference. The worst I have had here in Japan was from Gunma. Awful it was. Later I asked a few people and was told that area was not renowned for oishii rice.

They were good. The Sisters of Mercy, A Slight Case of Overbombing.

Well doesn't the warning get triggered by the earthquake itself and basically tells people a bit far away before the "waves" catch up? I'm sure some of the more technical guys will know more. (tsondaboy?)

Heard about thaty a few days ago. He was a great driver.

Abe lasted a good while for Japan didn't he? So who will be next I wonder. I just hope he is as good as the good Mr Abe - and has as lovely a wife.

Why is Mickey Mouse so popular? I just don't get it. When there's something on tv here all the couples in their 20's, 30's, 40's going all mushy over Mickey & Minnie and the likes. I'm sure lots of them are basically huge PR pieces but I know loads of (normal) people here who go mad over Disney. And thats without including the kids. I wouldn't mind if Mickey Mouse was even any good. He's shite. Any thoughts?

I'm not a girl, soccer player or rapstar so I don't have earrings. (I carry a handbag though). Sorry I can't help.

Never. I remember once at school I was close to but I backed off. Glad I did.

He was told not to expect that, so he shouldn't have been expecting it.

Will have to look out for that opt out bobby, hadn't noticed it. Thanks.

You need to check out the movies to avoid thread then. Lots much worse than that.
