Personally I find some of the female Petrol station attendants great value for money!!! Especially the look on their face when you wind down your window and then realise its a Gaijin behind the wheel!!

Oh.........apparently someone beat me to it. Have to cancel my Porsche order then now!

Invented Pennicylin

ALso just found out they have discontinued the BReville Pie Maker....TRAGIC!!!!!

Found on ebay, Pie Maker

The Breville Pie Maker I bouth over with me, but have seen one in a shop in Tokyo somewhere too, can`t remember the name, but somewhere in Kanda. May be able to get them IN K`s Denki but don`t qoute me on that. Pretty easy to make the pastry and you can actually buy it ready made in some food shops near me, so you just slap it straight on and stuff with filling. when making the pastry its good to get loads of air in your mixture so that its really fluffy, result is awsome crusty pastry. Get yoruslef a Breville Pie maker and your away!! I should be getting money for this plug!!!

I bought a Breville pie maker the other day and make my own!! Fantastic and great when pissed to come up with riddiculous pie ingrediants!! Best yet has been, Beans, curry, lager and unagi!! Breville, the way forward!! However is nothuing like a good old Lancashire Pie!!

Here in JApan the Japanese guys seem to go nuts for the hundreds of Japanese Female icons such as Ayumi Hamasaki, Eiko Koike, Kanno Asami...blah blah blah devoting their lives to seeing them and finding autographs and pics, e.t.c Theya are plastered all over magazines in convini`s for browsing whiile waiting for the train/bus and always on some kind of game show. What do us Gaijin blokes think of them? And who is the favourite? I would go with Mugumi at the moment seems to be everywhere and a very impressive set of front weights!! P.S full list at web page

Is that a no on the translation on the techno jargon then!! Thanks for keeping the thread visible though!!

And a pay rise!!! Unless youw ere offering?!

HAve been trying to use an old MP3 player I bought about 3 years ago back in England. Been working fine with the Compact Flash card I had from home, but recently lost it so bought a new one here, but for some reason when I put it in the player it comes up with PMP folder not found I have no idea what this means, can anyone enlighten me? Much appreciated.

Sorry the stars should say "w*nk", they wanted work but alas their spelling let them down!!

I have just spent my entire morning laughing in histerics after being asked to check the slogan for a T-shirt to be printed for graduating Baton club girls from school!!! Check out what they wanted to write on teh T-shirts: "**** for the team, and be covered in glory!"!!!!!!!! I never new spelling could be sooo amusing. The look of bewilderment as I rolled about on the floor in tears of laughter were a sight!!!

We had it at our uni bar in UK. It was constantly the source of many a mumrarred night. One particular night some friends and I drank a copius amount plus variuos other alcholic beverages on a rugby pub crawl. The following morning five of us woke up in France, it happened that we decided at 4 am to get the ferry across and carry on our night of debauchery across the english channel, couldn`t quite work out just why we had a shop manequin with us though??!!

On the reverse words I love are Roly Poly, Chimney, and "my thats big!"

Lobster game was in an amusement arcade in Sapporo!! Have a pic of it but can`t work out how to get it on here. Will keep trying!

The used underwear vending machine myth: In early September, three business men stocked around 90 vending machines in outer Tokyo with used underwear "guaranteed to have been worn by a Japanese schoolgirl." Each garment sells for about $29. After searching the rule books, the police have finally charged the three entrepreneurs with violating the Antique Dealings Law, which stipulates that dealers need a license. Used panties as antiques? The police say that some of the underwear was bought from second hand dealers. The trio may also be charged with swindling, if it can be shown that

There is no doubt that Japan is Vending Machine heaven, around every street corner lies some sort of vending machine, ranging from the typical beverage dispenser to (we have all heard the story) the used school girls knickers!! What other things have you found that you would never expect to find in VEnding machines?? My top favourites have included: Vegetables Vending Machine, Eggs Vending machine, and my all time favourite, chop stick and lobster vending machine!! It's based on the popular UFO Catcher games and you have to manoeuvre the yellow claw to try and grab one of the lo

I got upgraded to Business class with a uni friend of mine last year when flying back form New Zealand to Japan. Given my friend is female I tried the just married tactic!! Shortly before take off i walked up to one of the flight attendants fluttered my eye lashes and explained how my "wife" and I had just recently got married and this was our honeymoon trip to Japan, and if at all possible could I get an upgrade as a present to her and surprise!! The then duey eyed air hostess hearing of such love and affection promptly upgraded us and we spent the rest of the flight sipping champagne an

Japan is filled with workers who do almost nothing. You probably haven't needed a crossing guard to help you across the street since you were five years old, but you can find crossing guards on quiet streets far away from schools and playgrounds here. Operating an ATM should be the simplest thing in the world, but almost every bank has a "lobby lady" to help you with your transaction and in case you find the task of pushing an elevator button too overwhelming, there are elevator girls in a lot of the big department stores. Flag men do, of course, play an important role in directing traffic

Bow Ties (red and white pokerdots!)Pee Wee Herman, nuff said!!

My car is up for Shaken soon and I can`t get over what a complete and utter farce it is that ends up costing about as much as it would for me to simply buy a new one!!! All Japanese cars over three years old have to pass a saftey inspection every two years. The inspection is so tough that it generally costs over 1500 dollars, and often more, to get your automobile up to standard. First, there is the basic inspection fee of 35,000 yen. Then there is the weight tax of 25,200 yen (for cars under 1 ton). You also have to pay 28,450 yen for insurance and 8,000 yen for the shaken itself.

Interesting Beard fact Number 1: An Austrian Shot Put Champion was disqualified from the Olympics when she was discovered to be approximately two fiths male in hormone levels, the giveaway came when she was caught shaving twice a day in the Olympic village!! Reminds me of my old dinner lady!!!

Best way to get rid of your smelly hole is to use the "bide" toilet surely!!!
