Have you seen where Wigan are? I won't mention it as I don't want it in stone! -
A nice sweet Asti or Tosti or whatever they're called over champagne any day.... I like the sweet stuff, can't take much of the dry. Dead posh, hey.

Rumour has it my gran has been called up for Man Utd defensive duties! -
Sounds like great value that Mr Wiggles. I do like a good hotel breakfast. Back home over summer, we had an all you can eat breakfast at a restaurant called Harvester in Warrington. It was amazing, and only 6 quid each. Truly quality stuff, and as much of it as you like. I hope it's still there next year. Would be great at double the price.

Your nationality is only mildly interesting because you don't seem to have a grasp on either English or Japanese; and you have been the one bringing it up. For my part, I was only bringing up incorrect information*... not language ability. (* Oh yes, and plonker-ish-ness). Please do go over to the other thread though and explain the bit about the shinkansens and silly station names. Domo. Of course, if you find that you are wrong please don't forget to be is censed and apologise issue.

Thing is, the main point here is not about the direct translation of the word 新幹線.... which people generally don't do anyway here, people refer to it as 'Shinkansen' in English don't they. It's John-San calling stations what they ain't called. Well, that's my point anyway. And a jolly fine one it is too.

I was going to give up, but the thought of you digging yourself further into a smelly hole is just too tempting, John... Let's recap. The kanji for Shinkansen is 新幹線. The kanji for Shin Yokohama Station is 新横浜駅. 市 does in fact mean city. 鼻 means nose. ウンコ means poo. バカ means stupid. But none have anything to do with the topic of conversation. There is no Shi Myokokogan Station. There is no Shi Yokohama Station. Ask JR if you don't believe me, they're the foo who own and operate the stations. They'll be able to let's confirming.

In the interest of correct information, rather than just ribbing Biggen / John-San for always talking complete bollocks and being a prize plonker: The Shinkansen station that is popping up in southern Niigata Prefecture is actually called 'Joetsu Myoko Station'. Obviously, there is no 'Shi Myokokogan'. Well, not in the real world anyway. The Shinkansen station in Yokohama is called 'Shin Yokohama Station'. The other one mentioned is called 'Shin Odawara Station'. 'Shin' (not 'Shi') being 新 ...the kanji for 'new'. OK, enough of that, back to being silly...
