Time for a poll

 

Are you put off a company that puts you on a mailing list without asking?

You are however probably pissing off quite a lot of them before they stick you on a spam/junk list.

People often don't read things and won't know there is a please take me off this list link. Anyhow, they didn't ask to be on the damn thing in the first place so it seems rather arrogant to expect them to have to jump through some hoops to get themselves signed off something they didn't sign on.

[Hangover]

My head hurts this morning.

Any good remedies?

[What should I do when my board gets all scratched to hell?]

Use it as an excuse to get a brand new shiny one

[Good movies you've seen recently]

Class movies esp. ITNOTF.

[Snow to village (Niseko) - in absentia 09/10]

Just keep 'em coming Jishipi and we'll stop posting other pics, ok?

 

[What puts you off accommodation?]

What puts me off accommodation_? Places that are simply over-priced and there are a lot of those. I think some places charge what they used to when they were new but have cut back on lots of things and the place got drabber and drabber - but still charging the prices as though they are nice new and shiny. Objection!

[Which Asian countries attract the most 'foreign' visitors]

My guess for number 1 is USA or maybe France, Italy?

[Wii vs PS3 vs Xbox360]

Just get the Wii, graphics are about the same

[Swapping Hakuba for Niseko]

I have heard that from more than one person.

[Be Polite to your hosts]

I wonder if they can understand cows from other countries, should they meat.

[Snow to village (Niseko) - in absentia 09/10]

Many people there?

 

Good to see people having fun. I'm working. Even on a national holiday. Who can I complain to.

Nope. I was simply having a fun bet with a few friends here to see how long it would take for one of you guys to come back with such a post.

I lost. I betted for less than an hour. My friend Peter won, he said between 3 and 4 hours.
It was fun anyway!

[If you could choose just one ski resort in all Japan for a total beginner...]

I'm somehow surprised that a Hakuba resort is being flogged as being the best beginners resort in the ultimaverse with huge meadows. I was thinking it was steep over there and that mere mortals would have difficulty surviving.

 

[ACDC concerts 2010 Saitama/Osaka - anyone going ?]

I'm not an ACDC fan, but I bet their concerts are good.

[Niseko Village For Sale]

Sounds like a load of bollocks to me, but anyway here's some Village People

Would also recommend a trip over to Rusutsu if not only for a change of scenery.

[Emergency telephone watch 09/10 (Yuzawa)]

Great idea. I will put on thinking cap also.

[SJ GIVEAWAYS 09/10 - Be one of the first guests to stay at The Vale in Niseko (Hokkaido)]

Sweet! I'll enter that one.

[09/10 SITE UPDATES - Summary/Discussion thread]

What if someone for example, just goes round voting for lots of resorts at the same timem, SJ?

[Furano Snow Pics]

No snow to take pics of mate.

[What don't you like about Japan. Tell me.]

Sticking out as a gaijin sucks at times, you know when I'm tired or not feeling (or looking!) too hot, but comes with the territory I suppose.
