I had a fairly big party 2years ago in my old shared company mansion but everyone was well behaved, we closed all the doors and windows, no one was on the balcony My roomy decided to let everyone smoke inside next to the extractor fan(and thats really saying something about the lengths we went to keep the noise down and be polite to the neighbours(before anyone calls me a hypocrite about the smoking in the house, it wasnt my own house, there were half a dozen poeple who wanted to smoke and my roomie decided it)) and the only music was being played on my computer! with its pissy little speaker

As an extension of the barefoot thread, which do you rate? if you had to choose only one kind? I recently got a pair of Birkenstocks and they are soooo comfortable especially after walking all day, upgraded from the jandels

Charles Manson was one of those guys.....he did what he bloody well wanted...... I am standing up for what I beleive is right and just. double standards? hypocrisy? no one is perfect least me, but smoking is exceptional and unique example. I can except almost all things but smoking I can not and will not. enjoy you rebellious pastime your are a free man, what you do in private in your business, but dont do it in public where it is offensive. It is as simple as that. As for banning other things. things that I like....Cars? Alcohol? rugby? snowboarding? skiing? scuba diving? hiking? eating

wow I opened a can of worms here holy smoke!(no pun intended) firstly Ocean get off that high horse off yours and come down and join the rest of us. I have a problem with Cigarette smoking exclusively, I dont give a rats arse about butter, alcohol, cars, or anything else you want to ban, my focus is purely aimed at Cigarettes. Dont go jumping hysterically to conclusions and name calling, I am not a fascist and I am certainly not a puritan nor I am an anal retentive bore, I am tolerant of Gays, endorse pre martial sex, enjoy drinking, drive fast, swear and blaspheme, respect religions from

Good on Bloomberg, the Mayor of New York for banning smoking in Bars. Outstanding! Smoking is an evil protected bastion of society which frankly has run its course far too long. The day smoking is banished forever will be a day of joy for the world... Do you support NY and California in the no smoking policies

I beg to differ! many of them wreek of ciggie smoke, god I hate the stench of cigarettes, I try to get a cab with a non smoking driver if I can, if the dude is smoking in his cab when I approach then I would rather walk. Cigarettes suck, which reminds I need to start a new thread.....

What's Coles? An Australian Department store?

kids on Tobaggans maybe?

Anyone else here a swimmer in Japan......are you like me and highly frustrated??? Swimming is such a patience thinning frustrating experience here. Obasans get in the fast line and breaststroke, people standing at the end of the pool wait for you to just get to the end and then take off right in front of you! and you have to stop because they are super slow....so frustrating!argh!

absolutely...if you are a racist arrogant a-hole in Japan it seems your destiny is to be a TAXI driver. (but on a few rare occasions I have met a few jovial ones who have a good laugh with you) And being a taxi driver gives you the right to park anywhere, esp outside my workplace where at times they block the whole drop off area/taxi/bus stop outside the train station cars struggle to get passed them and buses honk their horns at them.

check out these bad boys.....got em at the 100yen shop, supersoft rubber and durable too, mind you you have to careful not to pull the toe piece clean through the sole on the cheap ones sorry Mikazooki no offence intended with ozzies, its just we say "I am going to Oz" so ozzie is a natural extension. is "ocker" ok? anyway here is the perfect smilie for the spirit of this post!

But shops cant advertise them as jandals unless they really are Jandels brand. just like you cant call inline skates "rollerblades" unless they really are rollerblades brand which is TM.

Hakuba Highland is very small, went there once to babysit some youngsters of a J friend

bravo! bravo! shoes are unnatural and screw your feet up,millions of years of evolution came up with the current design and now we screw it up but whacking on a pair of shoes. Remember Abebe Bikila? the great Ethiopian runner? Zola Budd? now those guys knew where it was at! In my university days I used to go to school barefoot in summer.....free and easy...ho hum used to tote a pair of flip flops/thongs/jandels in my bag for emergency. Summers as a kid barefoot....ah the days, pissing off my mum for running in the house with black soles....

wow Oceans that link to Harumi certainly is a quite something isnt it? I feel like Jim Carrey in the elevator scene of Liar lair.....

Any tips on what might be going wrong here folks? Cheers dude your problem is likely the CD you made has the files still in MP3 format, which is a compressed computer file. Your sony Vaio will play it obviously as its a computer and computers play MP3's.

During the rest of the year most of my commuting consists of 20 minute bike rides around the city-I do my best to stay off the train or subways. Yes sir Johnny Appleseed! and that commute sucks even more when the morons put you right up in the front seat, th
