Cancelling travel plans
egglesby replied to keba's topic in Snow talk, trip reports, Japan avalanche & backcountry
My friends aren't cancelling - and are adamant they won't - just taking some worrying glances at the rates. -
I rememeber once I was expecting something and once it got to Narita that was the last update that went online - so it might be available for the Japanese delivery company... Got it yet by the way?

Touch pad on notebook computer

I like the nipple, always look for one if I get a new machine used to using it. -
New Forums poll - what do you think?
egglesby replied to OBLONG's topic in General off-topic discussions
It's hard to see why someone would vote "Don't like them" with all the improvements and extra stuff on here. They seem rather outnumbered though. Good job -
Have you climbed Mt Fuji?
egglesby replied to nzlegend's topic in Snow talk, trip reports, Japan avalanche & backcountry
I climbed Mt Fuji soon after I came to Japan - group of newly found friends were really keen to take me up there. I had a fun time. The weather was good and the views were fantastic. It might not be the best of walks up and there are far too many people for my liking but it was an experience and I'm glad I have done it. -
Anyone still riding the snow?
egglesby replied to joshnii's topic in Snow talk, trip reports, Japan avalanche & backcountry
My friend was up there today (or maybe tomorrow if the weather was bad) so I'll let you know how he said it was on Monday. -
I really like the new IGNORE feature
egglesby replied to thursday's topic in General off-topic discussions
Looks like there is a lot of new stuff to do. The shout box thing is a good idea. Yes those new post numbers are useful, page views is interesting too. -
The lady loves anything claymation thanks for letting me know I hadn't heard about this new one. Funny stuff.

The feeling of being totally ripped off
egglesby replied to 2pints-mate's topic in General off-topic discussions
You don't seem keen on that Mantas. There have been some scandals this last week in the UK with tv phone in shows keeping lines open for longer to get more cash. I think they are cheaper than that though, 50p a minute does sound a totally over the top charge for a call. What was it for 2pints? -
I was ill for 4 days once. I think a bad curry had something to do with it as well as the beer, vodka, gin, whiskey and wine. (Or maybe it was the orange juice).

How many times?
egglesby replied to happyhappy's topic in Snow talk, trip reports, Japan avalanche & backcountry
I made it to 11! Went up to Kagura this last weekend, wasn't very good I thought thats it for me. -
what's everybody listening to now?
egglesby replied to Dokumanju's topic in General off-topic discussions
If anyone likes the Cure, there's a full concert to be downloaded here thats worth a listen -
That looks like an air bag. Nice shirt too, almost looks like a yukata.

I will make the 10 tomorrow! -
People taken ill after drug trials
egglesby replied to BagOfCrisps's topic in General off-topic discussions
Felt like his brain was on fire! Quote: One of six victims left fighting for their lives after a disastrous medical trial has spoken for the first time about his "terrible nightmare". Student Nav Modi, 24, told a newspaper that he felt like his "brain was on fire" after he was given the experimental drug earlier this month. Mr Modi told The Sun: "I felt my head swelling up like an elephant's - I thought my eyeballs were going to pop out." -
Same here. I only need a pea-sized blob of shampoo to clean all of mine

Something that annoys me is the huge boxes that they put software in - about 10cm deep. Open it up and there's a cd in a paper envelope and 1 piece of paper with some quick install info and that's it. It is just such a waste.
