Tubby Beaver

Yeah I know. It occasionally comes in handy when I'm too lazy to type

Umm.....no......stupid Apple auto correct piece of sh@t!! Just regular MY friends

Naked?

A friend of mines recently went paint balling.....that's always fun

Dunno but they've got an authentic chippy there now! Not that i've been but a lot of my friends say it's just like home

Unless you are the gnarly, naked, hiker type

Extra hoppy lager

And Green Classic is the new Kohaku! Woohoo it's out! My favourite lager.

Naeba?

started off sunny here…….we had the first snowman of the year on the forecast from JMA for Sapporo today……maybe late afternoon/evening

but some people may frown at you having your kids hike naked up a ski slope……they may whisper "Jimmy Saville" at you as you go by

when is thanksgiving? Thats REALLY early, right? there will be no resorts open…..least not with actual snow

Like the 150 million pounds worth of signings LVG has made? 1 pt better off than under Moyes, despite Man U still to play Chelsea, Arsenal and another of the big teams that they had already played at the same time last season. People were calling for Moyes' dismissal this time last year, but not Van Gaal's? I still think Van Gaal will get them there, he's a good coach, great track record.....but same problems as moyes at the mo.

Perhaps you should just sack Van Gaal now, best not to give him time

They are NZ dudes......just white guys......70's n 80's, I guess it was still a white man's sport.....maybe when Union was still amateur so all the giant Maoris (who pretty much are hard) were playing league instead

And spent 150 million quid

overcast, grey and threatening to rain

anybody been watching the new Sons of Anarchy season? Any good? Watched up to date now.....yep, stills good show! And the half naked ladies are nice too

Liquid….you're up!

The peak hasn't been reached here yet either…….there are still the really bright reds to come

I find that working longer helps me…….my mind is concentrating on something and not my empty stomach

Congrats Ippy (although the convoluted escapades that you'll inevitably get up to will be interesting watching! )

What resort liners? Where are you seeing the info, I hadn't seen any up till now

With a lot of budding amateur and not-so-amateur photographers on here, perhaps we could have a thread for the autumnal colors as people snap away over the coming weeks. Yesterday was gorgeous in Sapporo so mid morning, me and the Mrs got out n about and walked the 9k's or so down to Makomanai Park in the south of the city, enjoying the autumnal scenes from Maruyama, Asahiyama, Moiwayama and into the park itself, I snapped a few shots with my iPhone as I went…. Makomanai Park Toyohira River It was gorgeous….not a cloud in the sky and since we were out al

Yesterday was glorious.....today overcast. Asahikawa and central Hokkaido is forecast for snow on Wednesday
