He has made a fool out of himself in the past 2 years. used to like his racing, but not any more. nascar is something i can never be hooked on btw.

good i see i'm still the only one paying....

Kintaro i was refering to Japan Highway, those uber expensive expressways. that i rarely use myself ..and btw, i think i remember reading somewhere that road construction and maintenance in japan is 100% funded by car taxes, correct me if im wrong You are probably right that NHK would be in trouble if they had to compete with the commercial stations while being required produce (some) public service tv. I strongly believe in the need to have non commercial tv. quality is not measured in popularity (number of viewers) does my poor english make sense?

I'm proud to say that i pay. Feels good to support non commercial TV, lots of high qual tv from NHK. Compared to the average cell phone bill, 2k a month is not that bad for one or two good movies a month, lots of sports, news and surprisingly lot of rock music. Rag Doll, The reason NHK is not funded by tax money is because people have a choice if they want to own a tv or not. if you don't have a tv, you don't need to pay. imagine if people who don't own a car had to pay for the highways

I didn't talk about marriage. griller could just be a "weekend father" how bad is that anyway? it is not the end of the world
-
Whatever happens griller, i hope you all come out ok. If that girl decides to get the baby (and it is in fact yours), please consider that the baby needs a father. the baby didn't choose to come to this world. please don't run away. the moment you have reproduced you are no longer the most important person in your life. I know i am only giving you an even bigger headacke (and i'm sorry about that)

Welcome to japan. Shizuoka is littered with that kind of stuff. It seems that the local government here have run out of things to pour concrete on, so they have turned to tetrapods and big "fish houses" big hollow concrete blocks they dump in the ocean.

Sou, your memory is failing you... Hill won in a Jordan, he never quite made it in the Arrows, although it was very close in hungary

Mmm SJ taking her clothes off, must be good.... saw The Island yesterday, Very entertaining!! I've never been a big fan of Woody Allan, but i watched Sweet And Lowdown the other day. Woody Allan made a fine movie starring Sean Penn as the 2. best jazz guitarplayer in the world: Emmet Ray Why in the world would someone make a movie about the 2. best and not the best? (Django Reinhard) well, watch the movie and find out. i voted for the movie on IMDB (8 of 10) -
