Interesting how the hardware is generally excellent build, yet the software leaves so much to be desired.

Watched the Benjamin Button movie over the weekend.
It was ok but I was expecting it to be more affecting at the end.

You have to find a way for them not to spoil your important holiday again. Bottom line.

You are doing a fine job grungy.

The price is putting me off. Maybe when the price comes down.

The original Day of the Jackel.
Good movie that.

I knew there was a gyudon thread.
Had one from lunch at Sukiya and thought it was fairly decent for the price especially. Not a bad lunch to have.

Yeah what is it with Asahi, they are all over in many of my fave places as well. Prefer Kirin or Sapporo myself

The key word is 'eligable'.
Meaning, buffed, handsome, charming and earns about 200k a year.
I earn easy more than 200,000 yen a year!

I know it's one of those small little things but it just annoys me when you buy something and try to take off some stickers and find that it either leaves a bit mark or you can't without making a mess.
Bloody annoying I say!
There, just had to say it /rant.

Are landlords usually ok for an aircon? I can't imagine them saying no, as long as you pay for it and I presume pay for any patching up when you leave. What's involved in a patch up anyway?

The Kings Speech.
Wasn't fussed before watching it but really enjoyed it.

How much is it?

Bet it's nice and cool up there in summer.

Not usually into those but the Mentalist is really good actually.

I have to look up at a light that easily sways to see if we are actually moving or not (and then check the JMA website to see if there was one or not).
Absolutely.
Strange sensation.
I want it out of my head. -
Earthquakes really do have to be the very worst thing about Japan, hey.

Bum tish!

Perhaps she was making a lot of cakes?

A small selection of todays "Comments", the pulse of the people
Quote:Sorry George, I think you should brush up your skills on nuclear power. The accident at Fukushima is worst than Chernobyl. In 1986, the nuclear reactor was entombed in cement. Now highly radioactive water is leaking into the sea which could affect the people of Japan from generations to generations.The BP disaster will be a drop in the ocean (no pun intended) compared to this contamination of the ocean wich will last for millenue - c
WHY is this not a top headline?? Why is none of the press covering the real story!!??? It is your job to report the truth yet you are reporting things that we have known for 3 weeks! People need to know how bad this is.
This is what happens when the 'I can handle it' brigade won't listen, won't confer, won't ask for assistance from people who know better. I hope that the rest of the nuclear indistry is PAYING GREAT ATTENTION TO ALL THIS. ... You don't know it all, you don't know what you are meddling with AND ......... YOU HAVEN'T GOT THE RIGHT TO MESS UP OUR EXISTENCE BECAUSE YOU THINK YOU KNOW BETTER! For once and for all ... STOP MEDDLING! And yes, I am shouting.
I remember an old bloke named Tariq Aziz-he was Saddam's Defense Minister from memory-speaking on a live news broadcast,about how the Iraqi army would have a great and mighty victory,noone would penetrate Baghdad, everything was under control...Meanwhile,we could hear bullets and noisy mayhem going on in the background, metres away from him. The Japanese government,some of our own politicians,the management...Oh,join the dots.
This is the nuclear nightmare - the horror everybody with half a brain has dreaded for years. The whole truth isn't being told, and the extent of this is being hidden. Yet there are STILL fools who insist that nuclear power stations somehow provide "cheap" electricity. They should be sent to live next to Fukushima for a month, then tell us how safe it is. And see if they consider their own deaths "cheap".
Wizardess, Londres, not only what you wrote but the Japanese will be ever increasing their fishing in other nation's shores as they have already been doing so. The Japanese will be flooding into Australia, the Hawaiian Islands, and California in even greater droves than they have already been doing so.
Years, or months, from now, sea food will be inedible. The experts and the Japanese government official who said it was safe to build the nuclear monstor shoud be feed contaminated food.
We are all doomed!!!If only there was some way - some sort of dye - available to show the presence and levels of radioactivity - we would know the full extent of this catastrophe. Sadly, unlike smoke spewing from fossil fuels, radiation is invisible and this is its danger: what you cannot see you tend not to worrry about. Sadly when its effects DO become visible, causing cancer, affecting the food chain, causing mutagenic and teratogenic effects, it will be too late. We need to treat nuclear power with the alarm it deserves - its potential for disaster is truly horrific, massive and unbelievably extensive time scale wise to this planet and humanity.
1000 milisiverts is a full sivert...and that sounds pretty catastrophic to me...when i know we are only meant to be exposed to micro 10 to the power of -6 sieverts.... no doubt they will say it is no IMMEDIATE DANGER TO HUMAN LIFE.......why dont they just tell the whole story .....which is ' there is no immediate danger to human life....but in the very near future the effect this will have on the food chain and the effect it will have on phoetuses is totaly catastrophic and will change life as we know it for at least hundreds of years, and the number of people who will notably suffer from the effects of this disaster is in the millions if not billions' ......THEY HAVE MESSED UP BIG TIME.
A nation sitting on the rim of fire that banked it's future and people on nuclear energy. You can call it brave. I can think of better adjectives. The best I can think of is easily led.
I feel so angry about Japanese not accepting foreign expert hep for Fukushima in the early days of the disaster. Because of their pride the whole planet will get poisoned within weeks. Starting with the ocean and then the ground waters. The next world war will be about food supplies, not oil. Oceans and seas poisoned so no fish eatable. Vast fields unsuitable harvest vegetables due to contamination. Doom days ahead.
the people monitering the site must have known this days after the explosion.the whole truth is not being told!

Hard to imagine what it must be like having your home, your town, totally destroyed in an instant like that. And family/friends killed. I was reading some towns have had their records wiped out too, so there's not backup records of the people who lived there.
Nightmare, must be totally overwhelming. All the more remarkable the way people are coping. Respect.

You still confident this will all be getting into a huge fuss panic no reason, GN?
(Obviously serious situation but not enough for people to flee the country)

The Times prints utter bollocks as well, even if written by their own reporters
"This almost feels like the last straw. After an earthquake, tsunami and nuclear explosion, the survivors are now subject to a blizzard in the middle of March when they should be taking off their winter clothes and waiting for the cherry blossoms."
Er no, not in the mountains of central Fukushima.

I'm sure there are those people too. Might be a good thing in that way getting all the oldies together and socialising more than they would.
Our local community center seems to have that going on weekdays at the moment too.
