What treasures you all are, so helpful. I have to be there more or less first thing (long story) so I will just have to gatecrash I guess. Will keep an eye out for the gear too Dims.

Nice one Will be there fri. Do you have to have an invite? Surely not even in Japan would they turn away a paying customer..... um? I have no printer (even the internet cafe doesn`t, whats with that??).

Goemon, much obliged for the tip off. Just one more thing, how do you get to the 303 place from the station?

Ahhh, you just gotta know where to go. Loadsa student deals on if you search them out. Great times.

In a perfect world it would be possible to alternate between the two everyday. Can`t understand just why they have to be so expensive. I know more than a few Aussies who PREFER MARMITE over vegimite.

Hey, only 9 people won the 10 tickets to ARAI. Does that mean there is one put aside for me?

B-W, do you know? I go for morning. When I went there was the same mist in the morn. Also nobody on the slopes and they have nighta. Am I right? Cool pic nonetheless.

Clubs are not really my scene since I left uni, but Ageha in Shin kiba knocked my socks off. Stunning place. With swimming pool DJ s should just play. Nothing else.

Personally, and I know I`m not alone in this, I often use toilet time for relaxing contemplative retreats from the rest of humanity. Frantic searches for something to hold to keep your balance, the burning thighs from squatting and the delicate operation of reclothing yourself without mishap is not conducive to a relaxing, revitalising break from the world. I like English toilets. Preferably a Twyfords one, manufactured in the Potteries, home of the worlds earthernware industry.

Now this needs clearing up. Toque have you REALLY seen someone fall off the lift from a serious height? Has anyone else? Don`t wanna pre judge, but you gotta by a bit short of something to actually fall off once you`ve got on.

I concur with all of the above suggestions (peaker has a more unique approach admittedly) Pads - yes. Definitly. A knowledgeable and patient friend - a must. Especially someone who knows how to set up the gear correctly. Even the hire dudes send people off with some shocking set ups at times. No point being handicapped before you start. Make sure the slope you start on has a decent angle to it. It`s much easier. As last resort, copy the people who seem to have the hang of it. (as a last resort as they may be showing bad technique.) Watch some vids before you go (boarding ones) pure i

Have to disagree with the closing times. On sundays they seem to shut up around five thrity. Weekdays, well yesterday they were still open at 6pm, but as we were walking back to the station most seemed to be packing up for the day.

8 days so far..... would have been more but I screwed my ankle up playing football. Have been hopping around , praying its gonna get fixed in time for my Hokkers trip. Not a happy bunny.

Naa mate not the chemists. Its just like Ovaltine, you buy it off the shelf in the supermarket. Next to the hot chocolate. Not medicated. B.W. - not surprised the adults had no clue. I can`t imagine any situation where the big H and sex might be equated. You have imagination. I tip my hat

My housemates have an ingenious method of disinfecting the toilet floor which involves pissing all over it. Urine, I am informed, is particularly effective at killing the little blighters. I have a nagging feeling that there must be a better way

You could check to see if it is actually the T.V. by taking the batteries out of the remote. So at least you won`t have the extra weight of the remote when you carry it to the shop Hope that helps.

AHHH, Horlicks. Now that`s hardcore sleeping potion, and delicious too. Never seen any over here though. I remember cheese is supposed to make you dream. Or is that have nightmares? Can`t remember.

Oh, forgot to mention. If all else fails, a visit from Mrs Hand and her five loverly daughters has been known to do the trick

Recently heard a theory which said that you should have a room where the only thing you do in there is sleep. Then your body gets to associate that room with sleep and automatically prepares for it as you enter. (this theory also suggests you have a room just for sex too.........) Do you spend a lot of time in your bedroom? Play video games etc? Otherwise reading always makes me tired, or not too hetic music on very low stops my mind from thinking about those silly things that keep you awake. Of course no alcohol, caffine etc. And getting into a sleeping routine, same time to be

Decided that I want one. I love buying new stuff- and I can justify this one as I know it will make my Mum happy Off to Ochanothingymajig then.

At the resort. Nice twenty minute break. Like to check out just what is on offer too. Reckon you can tell a lot from a resort by the munchies on offer.

Could this `experienced kiwi` possibly be you?! Was interested in the Evergreen set up but couldn`t get the time. What`s this geezers set up then? What does he offer in terms of recognisable certificates etc?

Well if a seatbelt could`ve saved Diana, I`m getting myself a helmet. You never know. Blimey, Britain has never been so interesting, at least not since Henry VIII topped Anne Boleyn. Even if it`s true, not a patch on History.

Cos he looks clumsy, lazy and slow (talentless, dim....blah, blah....) Thing is he only looks like this. I`m pretty sure he is a very difficult player to play against. Oh, and he doesn`t generally score many goals. Still don`t know how I rate him, but I like im. Makesense

Shheesh, sounds, er.. interesting. Would love to try one out, just to see. Didn`t K2 have something going on to reduce vibrations? Can`t remember the details.
