Your friends taped it? What for? Can we see it?

Yeah I'd never heard of this kind of thing going down in Niigata before. Surely your share of bad luck must nearly be over?

I was just reading this http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/health/4634535.stm Seems in the UK "terminations are allowed up to 24 weeks". What about other countries?

Yes he is. Some interesting stuff on RG's website http://www.rickygervais.com

I have only seen that guy a few times - on ads actually. I think he was flogging insurance.

No strangeness here in the last week.

Well I've had a few free flights out of air miles, so I'm not complaining..

Good idea yeah. I've been on the forums for about 30 minutes now, but I'm still not in Recent Visitors. Just thought I'd let you know in case.

sunrise. When is a remix a cover version? That's not a trick question/

It is of course quite a while off yet but reading how Toque and others have stretched the season way beyond what most people seem to, I'm totally stoked about trying to do the same myself next season. So for those of you stretchers out there, what are you planning for really early on next winter? And when might that be?

This kind of thing really really annoys me as well. And there seems to be a lot of it on as well here. Do Japanese viewers not see why this is just a bad bad idea?

Soccer, swimming, not much else.

I have a stuffed toy, a snake actually, called Harold. He's about 1.5 meters long and about 15cm cross section, brown/black/white, very friendly face. A top guy is Harold. I think of him as family. Harold is very dear to me and has been since I was a kid.

Hey I thought I'd just update this - I got the Orbit one and I really like it, very cool. Thanks for the tip.

You would get it by them processing the forms when you go, then stamping the passport with the visa. ( )

Well thats what they said, but taking 2 days holiday just to get this done sucks. Like I said some friends said they got it done there and then without a second visit (they had been in Japan about 7 years though whether that makes much difference or not...?)

How long has it taken you to get them in the past? I live a fair distance from the place I can get mine done and it's a real trek - almost a day trip. They reckon I have to make the trip twice. I've heard people who said they got it done there and then on the day. Is the "you must visit twice" thing just "official" and they decide when you go there? What's your experience?

The bumper snow surely had a pretty positive effect on things.

Is there a time limit on that? Or is it an indefinite thing? Do they accept gaijin blood in the first place....?

Very interesting - lets see what happens with your next prediction. I just hope you never say near my house.

Anyone got or used the new Apple Tiger OS? It is getting rave reviews all round by the looks of things...

Nasty rumors - know more about that?

I'd explore a wider area if I were you, get to know a few places and see more of Japan.

I used to really like Tori, I remember being jealous of that pig. The way she straddles her piano always used to get me all in lurve.
