I don't understand?

Went down the gym yesterday and found out I have 14 % body fat???????? Is that good, bad? The gym I use backhome is like some old Victorian Institute compared to this new hyper sophisticated place. Body fat measuring facilities, earphones for tv WHILE you cylce, breathing thingmebobs. In fact I think the machines are so advanced thay could run FOR you. Orange you might wanna try the place out, they're bound to have some kinda police radar detector! I do hope he is alright.

Alpine I remeber in my younger more innocent days, I went on a skiing trip to Quebec, where I walked to the mall in jeans and just a sweater. It was about -20 or something. I was literally freezing to death. Non Alpine Worse still when I used to play fooball (soccer) on cold wet Staurday mornings in Wales, when the ground was frozen hard and I was dressed in a pair of shorts. Especially nice when it starts to rain down hail and somebody blasts the ball at your leg, which proceeds to turn blue and go numb. You Southern Hemisphere types don't know how lucky you are.

Know thats a thought, a ferret stuck up a chimps bum!

3:09 damn! They should have a site with Tony Blair too. But which animal?

Orange is the jogging still going well apart from that incident? Maybe you'd acidentally exposed yourself whilst running and didn't even known about it! You know, 5 year old jogging shorts with a worn inner lining can sometimes cause unexpected moments of exposure... No serioulsy I think that sucks, but I've been warned about that kind of discrimination by people out here.

Kenta-san They're places in Amsterdam, where you can purchase Marjuiana (aka Pot) at a very reasonable price and smoke it free of hinderance and in the company of friends. Then stumble outside and hug the wall all the way home.

It's not unusual in the UK for an apprentice to work like that, but they're also given all the horrible jobs to do i.e cleaning toilets etc etc. Ritual humiliation! One of my mates was doing all that for 16 pounds a week.

As a city, Amsterdam relies too heavily on people visiting just to have a toke, so any legislation the Dutch government bring in, the coffe shops will find a way around it, for example asking employeees to sign a disclaimer. The Dutch government recently legalised prostitution, but had all kinds of stupid rules such as the 'customer' must leave a name and address, yeah like that would ever happen,plus all prostitutes must register with the government, another stroke of genius. As for the experience of Amsterdam, well I was going through my 'Howard Marks is my icon stage' and thought

ILive.... I hate it when that happens, the little kids just do 'it' without a secound thought! And with more flair and panache than you ever could! One day I'm gonna catch one and make him/her tell me their secrets!

Did they massage your head? And make comments on you 'wonderful' western hair?

How much do you all pay. You see my mum owns her own salon and I get it done for free at home. Whenever I've lived away from home in the past I just have it all shaved off. But yesterday I paid 4000 Yen, and had my own 'stylist' so c'mon how much is good to pay here in Japan?

I'm hoping long life's in the genes, my great granny lived to 103 and enjoyed every secound apparently. Alzhiemers scares the hell out of me though. And incontinence.....mmmm.

Cardiff. Yipee As for gum boots and velcro gloves, we don't go in for all that hi-tech gear in Wales, we form a close bond with the animal, maybe take them out for dinner (lamb chops is a no no), catch a movie and then there like putty in your hands. bahhhh bahhh

How about too much apathy? Personally patriotism for me is being called a " sheep shagger" whenever I mention where I'm from! I'm not afraid of showing my patriotic side when I feel like it, as a rather small and some might say insignificant country, I find myself explaining to MANY people from outside Europe (and a few within) the location and history of Wales. So I guess you could say I am patriotic. I think many people from smaller lesser known countries are also.

Was it as boring as the scoreline suggests?

I'd have to agree with MistaSparkle,just get on with it otherwise my bottle goes and I debate all the negative points of what I'm about to do.

If it's a Mosquito destroy destroy destroy! They've literally been chowing down on me this week! Covered in bumps which are itchy as hell.

The Mediterrians have got the right idea, have a seiesta at about 3 o'clock!

Well I had to study French and Welsh, I wished I'd concentrated more in both.... Depending on which school you go to Latin is also on offer in the UK.

what channel is it on? P.S. Congratulations to Cardiff City Bluebirds on their promotion, watch out Division 1. SAme goes to Wolves

The Tsutaya (sp?) here has loads of classics, the sort of stuff they just don't have back in Blockbuster in the UK. Over the last couple of weeks I've seen The Killing Fields, The Deer Hunter and Cukoo's Nest. All great films. As for subtitles I saw Battle Royale back home in the UK, the reading was a pain, perhaps cos the film was a bit cr*p.

Three decent options! I requested Hakkiado ended up in an Osakan suburb.....bummer!

I saw One Flew Over the Cukoo's Nest last night. Has anyone else seen it? I was well impressed!

Cheers Davo. I'll give it a try.......
