Long shot but this is really baffling. I have been away from my Japan home for a few weeks and got back last night. Put the tv on - Japanese tv ok. But for some reason, when I put Skyperfectv on, the picture appears but not the sound. Same with the DVD player - picture ok but no sound. I tried swapping cables but no luck. Simply can't work out why the sound is ok on normal digital tv but not on the sky/dvd. I haven't changed any settings at all as far as I know! Anyone any ideas? I'm sure it must be something really simple but I just can't think of it!

More a short TV series but The Stand was interesting (the Stephen King story).

The line will be operated by the Hokkaido Railway Company (JR HokkaidÅ). TÅhoku and HokkaidÅ Shinkansen services are hoped to be operated at speeds of up to 360 km/h. The proposed journey time from Tokyo to Sapporo is advertised locally as 3 hours, 57

It isn't just the announcements though that really is naff. All the expressionless hand movements and body actions are hilarious.

Can't see it Metabo! But I think I did see that on tv, it's an advert right?

Do people pay to go see him wankin'?

Dirty German.

Do many cars get stolen here? Can't remember EVER hearing of a stolen car incident, though surely there are some.

On the subject of umbrellas --- they must be the things most stolen in Japan!

Love it when it starts to cool down proper in mid-late September. Such a relief and so much to look forward to.

Love Cds myself. None more so than the recent remastered Kraftwerk ones. But I hate badly remastered ones waging themselves in the "loudness wars". Stop it!

Played that last week for a few hours, seemed fun. You have it bobby?

Doesn't have to be the in-laws paying of course!

That line almost always works

Thats a Roman Polanski film isn't it. Think I saw it ages ago wouldn't mind rewatching.

My neighbour walks the cat. Two cats actually. Then comes back and walks the dogs!

One of the highlights of being back in my hometown is the food and drink as well as the people.

I quite liked that too. Alien vs Predators. Crap I know but I enjoyed them.

Yes I remember that.

Nice skies.

Come on Canada!!!

Great game though. You pay $10 to go see a movie. Perspective.
