Price of gasoline around world

It's exactly the poll I wanted. I'm happy with it. -
A disturbing revelation - what to do....
happyhappy replied to aomorigum's topic in General off-topic discussions
Let us know when you have more, sounds encouraging. I have heard a few stories in my neighbourhood of someone being packed off to another area when something like this happens (like this meaning distasteful, something they cant prove etc). I wonder if that happened here. -

Poll time! Regular or hi-oc? -
My apologies, I wasn't meaning to be taking digs. Sorry sorry. It's just that people seem to be talking about something else, not what I use, which is fine. But -- it really doesn't matter, does it!

I also often have a number of tabs open - sometimes as many as 5 or 6. No slowness here mate.

You know, I don't know how much it is back home!!! I will find out next month. -
My 2+ year old notebook must just be a super computer then. (And yours must be rubbish!) (Or, your just talking rubbish!)

Quote: IE7 just blows while trying to open a new tab. Are you using a Sinclair ZX80? It probably takes less than a small fraction of a second to open BBC news for me.

Yes I know that no real website developers use Front Page, but lots of people making websites themselves do.

Good movies you've seen recently

I saw Indy. Wasn't impressed. Just OTT action. Stick to Raiders and Last Crusade, best memories. -
You can easily use Front Page and not use Extensions. In fact, I'd bet most people do.

Did you have a big party in the street? -
2 of Fattwins posts from two different threads today: Quote: This is Japan where you go to jail for as long as it takes to get something out of you! and Quote: Japan has come out of the dark ages! (Before I get jumped this is NOT a critisism of Fattwins, just a very interesting contrast).

I loved Hong Kong when I went. I was just such a mad mix of so many things, sensory overload. I don't think I would want to live there, but that's true of any huge city. But I really liked it. It is definitely worth a visit.

Reacting to racist remarks made in front of you
happyhappy replied to happyhappy's topic in General off-topic discussions
Interesting comments thanks. I agree with lots of them and it's a delicate situation and hard to know exactly what to do/say. We're all going out for a drink this coming week so I may bring it up then in a relaxed and 'fun' atmosphere, as opposed to some serious talk. -
You'd wonder who actually took these telesales people up on their amazing offers. I for sure wouldn't hear them out.

happyhappy replied to happyhappy's topic in General off-topic discussions
Yeah I know about the racism to different people etc, I was hoping this thread might be more a 'how to deal with situations like I had today' rather than 'are Japanese racist', if you see what I mean. -
Do you know your local area well?
happyhappy replied to muikabochi's topic in General off-topic discussions
I know my local area pretty well in terms of what there is and seeing them, but I'm not well up on history and things like that. I find that lots of things here are really tucked away and difficult to actually find rather than be told about them and go. -
OK I have just been in a meeting at work and there were a few new people as well as a few from a company that my company does business with. I didn't have much to do in the meeting apart from be there and make a few points at the beginning. Nearer the end it became more relaxed and a few of the new people started coming out with you know the usual fairly harmless but tiring gaijin comments (one told me that 'all gaijin eat cornflakes for breakfast' - not ask me of course, tell) but then it descended into this gaijin discussion and a few pretty racist remarks were made. It all ma
