I'm off out now heading for the slopes. After that, onsen. After that, food and alcohol. After that sleep until late tomorrow. Have a good one folks!

Bummer. Thats a class series. So the first series is out in Dec 2004!! Taking their time with it aren't they?

I've heard only good things about this one.

Ms r45 gives money to her parents at New Year. And we're not talking 1000 yen here. It's one of those J traditions that I don't seem to be able to fully "get" this otoshidama thing. Anyone here take part in the otoshidama fun, and/or care to explain the "rules" simply

I got new board gear for Christmas which I was well pleased about. Tomorrow sees a considerable "out" of funds for the old otoshidama.

Rain is the pits. It might be expected in early season (are we still there??!) or spring, but not end of Dec/Jan.

Well, I for one think it's very helpful and, what's more, reassuring. just think if you fell asleep on the lift? That message would wake you up in time to get off the lift. Very helpful.

Wait til Feb and that 50% will become 70%!

An interesting article here about a possible solution to spam mail. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/technology/3324883.stm

naughty! but thanks!

Cheers scouser, and a happy footie christmas to you. They're good them guardian cartoons. Reckon Liverpool are gonna get their champions league place?

At least we got some snow yesterday gogo, but we WANT MORE, MR SANTA.... have u buggered off now??

Hey, do I have to register for that.... (is it worth the hassle)

New snow yes, but still nothing like. We're still scraping around.....

Excellent new feature, very interesting.

Thats a real shitsurei one then hey? Over 25s are by far the best imho.

Niseko is looking sad right now. What's going on? No pow, little snow, no big dumps on the horizon. I'm getting worried. I'm not too far away but wouldn't want to be making a huge trip there for whats on offer now. Praying for pow.

Er, what exactly is the saying??

I've actually seen that happen. Just about missed being a big big accident. I've always been a bit more careful under lifts after seein that.

Hokkaido! Hey genkijen, take a look in the off topic forum, there's a great big In Japan thread that you might find interesting. (or maybe not!!)

I sometimes get a message on my account that it is unavailable. Did you not get that?

A Japanese friend was trying to explain something to me about girls being Christmas cakes or something? Over 25? It was very unclear...... can anyone shine any light on this? Or was he just drunk and talking tosh.

I'm on holiday for 12 days Merry Chrippy to you all!

I think the new design looks good. I would be interested to know more on how those stumps came about
