    sorry bushy ;\) i hear ya runaway bunny, i hear ya. those things don`t piss me off either. in fact i quite enjoy it. now that i live a little ways from the beach, ie: can`t go there everyday, i really appreciate it when i do get to go.

    i luuuuuuv the feeling of sand between me toes. whenever i get a little homesick thats tha first thing that springs to mind and how much i miss it. i also miss sitting on grass- REAL GRASS at the beach and eating fish and chips whilst looking out on the water. even better if it`s a surf beach and the sun`s goin down and i`m knackered from a few sessions!
    mind you, i don`t miss tha seagulls tryin ta scab chips off me ;\) overall though, love tha beach. would love to live there one day.

    i`m not so certain there is such a thing as "non smelly" food wakaranai.gif the key is limiting the amount of time food is inside the body being processed for nutrients, and then ridding itself of the toxins.
    if you leave meat out on the bench all day it will reek. the body takes anywhere between 24 to 48 hours to process meat so you can imagine the `smells` its producing. ever left milk out?same thing. drop an egg on the driveway on a hot day and go back and smell it in an hour- it`ll bowl you over mad.gif hows that pie eater?

    agree totally! i don`t think it`s vanity at all to `check yaself, before ya wreck yaself`. gotta make sure the collar`s sittin pretty and that there`s no nori on ya teeth.
    what some would call vanity, others would call pride ;\)

    I don't car about resort

    Red Mountain is my favorite place to ski
    I don't care about apres
    And there are a few bars in Rossland
    i`d almost go with RED too! scored it real good- 50+ cm dump. has got the steep too!
    if ya survive tha lead smelter in Trail it also has a few bars. one that i remember is Looney Tunes. it was like somethin out of a movie. bar flies like you wouldn`t believe and every single one of `em had a red neck ;\)
    right though, not really what you`d call a `resort`. for a resort i`d say Vail/ Beaver Creek.
  7. thanks all. this is actually the third `J` wedding i`m goin to, so pretty much know the drill. indo, i reckon humor (mine anyway) is wasted on the japanese ;\) no chance of me bein taken serious and no cut either, just me and the girl don`t have to pay to go to the 2nd. party.

    it`s at a wedding `jo`. whole kit-and-kaboodle, ceremony and party, about 100 peeps. NIN `closer` lol.gif

    would like to do a j song but its hard enough singin in english!! will probably go with what i know...

  8. HELP PLEASE? \:\)

    have got a wedding coming up on the 20th. two Japanese- full on wedding thing. not tha first time i`ve been to a J wedding, but tha couple in question have asked me to get up at their ceremony and play two/three songs. i can play guitar a bit and they`ve been to a few of my `lives`.

    anyways, would like some suggestions from fellow SJers as to what songs you think would be fitting. I`ve already penciled in John Lennons` `love`, and tha groom is pretty keen on me playing Coldplays` `Yellow`. (yeah, strange!) i`m also leaning toward a couple of Oasis songs. have all but ruled out Adam Sandlers `wedding singer` song. (would love to do it for laugh factor though... :p )

    any suggestions would be much appreciated. have got a live next monday, 15th. so have a bit of a chance to practice them live and then decide.

     

    let`s suggesting!!!

  9. yeah, most certainly does mina2. and what a fine bunch of talented musicians they are too! drum, bass and piano, with guest appearances by members from the support bands.

     

    farquah, totarry agree. that was deff. one of the best gigs i`ve been too. there was such a great vibe in tha crowd. goin for a slash, peeps were `bopping` away and ya could still hear tha music in tha dunny. and it didn`t matter if you were at the front and center, or off to the side sitting on the floor. cos it was no real `show`, either place was cool. and no pushing or shoving- was a treat. either that or i must be getting on?!

    would love to catch him at a pub or just jamming at a bar... confused.gif

  10. been there, done that, never again!

    a mates `mate` and another dude and his gal came and stayed at my place for a week after spending some time in the snow.

    they wanted to check out tokyo, so i did tha righty and let `em stay. BIG mistake. i had to work so they pretty much were left to fend for themselves. no big deal, tha dudes gal was a J and they had all travelled a bit.

    without going into detail, they showed little respect and treated my pad like a hotel. while i`m more`n happy to help crew whenever they need it, a little respect wouldn`t have gone astray. upon arriving home from work i was faced with a sink full of dishes and on more than one ocassion, tha kotatsu was left on!!

    i`ve made a rule only to have close mates and couples come stay now.

    don`t pay out on her nic. you won`t achieve anything, imo. sure, ya might feel better by gettin it off ya chest, but ya may live to regret it further down tha track. use it as a learning experience and try not to make the same mistake twice- GOOD LUCK thumbsup.gif

  11. If anyone is interested in getting along to see Jack Johnson tomorrow nights Tokyo show (but somewhere in Chiba) , turns out I have a spare ticket.

    Not even sure if it`s sold out or not, although in the past, that has been the case. Anyways, if you`re interested, please pm me wave.gif

  12. those shows are interesting to say the least. no sophistication whatsoever. those `hosts` just ponce around in over-priced suits and lots of accessories.

    i got a card yesterday from a student and she said that in tha future she wanted to be a `Grand Hostess` or an English teacher. bit of a difference hey confused.gif

  13. all this talk is getting me interested again...

    yeah, insurance is also mandatory, so be sure to check that your covered. (think insurance has been done in another thread?) some races i`ve entered were JSA (Japan Snowboard Association) events so i had to join & they offer insurance. kinda funny story, the only time i`ve had to claim insurance in japan for snow related stuff was when i fractured me hip. BUT i didn`t do it in a race. i actually lost in the 1st. round and went straight to the terrain park. landed a jump awkward and hey presto... eek.gif fractured hip.

    re board: ya 160 khyber will be fine. it`s yar first race so alls ya wanna do is get a feel for it. try an have some fun and enjoy the experience! bX isn`t everyones cuppa tea... totally agree about tha `carving board` comment. sure they`re faster over tha gates, but on a course there are too many times when you need to `speed check` and thats where directional boards win out. and they`re way more stable on landing
