Used to be a reader of it but have moved onto http://www.football365.com/ You can follow in detail the new and wonderful ways Mutu has discovered to make himself look like a prick

Quality - we should organise a forum meet-up on Daisen I`ll bring the packet of crisps!

I used to smoke and gave up a few years ago, but don`t think it should be banned from pubs. Maybe restaurants but even then i don`t see what`s wrong with a little smoke in a well ventilated area.

They`re voting soon to ban it from Liverpool http://www.guardian.co.uk/smoking/Story/0,2763,1332080,00.html

For the funniest/darkest lyrics i`ve heard check out Gravediggaz. I`ll have a re-listen and get back to you...

Glad you liked it!

yep, the next one`s named `24`

I`m doing the ALT thing, in a town just between Kurushiki and Okayama City. Kurushiki seems like a pretty cool place. Only been here a little over a year though so not in much position to comment!

It must be tearing you apart down there, it`s pretty damn fierce here! Apparantly there`s another one building at the moment...

It`s a good idea but i`ve never tried it before - think having my first attempt over such a long distance with a snowboard might be pushing my luck (there`s two of us also). Especially as i`d probably need to pre-book accomodation to be able to get it cheap. Definitely an idea for the future though.

Quality! I`m finding it hard to believe it`s for real!

The train would probably take a full two days of travelling (using the discount ticket) as those trains are pretty slow and there`s only a couple of short night trains you can use. The ferry between Maizuru to Otaru takes either 20, 30 or 36 hrs! Most guide books and information on the web says 30 hrs. But the travel agent seemed to reckon it left at 00:30 (definitely at night) and arrived at 20:30 the next day. This I work out as being 20 hrs but she was convinced it was 30 ??? We had a 30 min argument about it My mate who`s done it says it takes 36. I`ve given up and am goi

I think this is my favourite - "My dear, beloved Brits, I understand the Guardian is sponsoring a service where British citizens write to Americans to advise them on how to vote. Thank heavens! I was adrift in a sea of confusion and you are my beacon of hope! Feel free to respond to this email with your advice. Please keep in mind that I am something of an anglophile, so this is not confrontational. Please remember, too, that I am merely an American. That means I am not very bright. It means I have no culture or sense of history. It also means that I am barely literate, so please

Yeah - what she says isn`t exactly discreet!

For the benefit of those bored at work or struggling to find something to do.... http://www.extremefunnypictures.com/funnypic602.htm probably photoshopped though!

The Guardian (British paper) launched a cmpaign to get British people to write letters to Americans in order to pursuade them not to vote Bush. This is some of the replies they got back - http://www.guardian.co.uk/uselections2004/story/0,13918,1329858,00.html Makes for entertaining reading!

Is there a Japanese equivalent of this? http://www.metcheck.com/premium/winter2004.asp - a long term rough prediction of the coming winter in the U.K. Can`t wait! Spent the last week researching a Christmas time snowtrip

Apparently green is really blue anyway or is it vice versa? And red also means green but only for a few seconds! I live in `Liberty Yasuhara Part III`

Backgammon ain`t posh, it`s hardcore and street Polo on the other hand is blantantly posh as fu*k. Possibly rugby and cricket also - bit of a pointless argument though. As for Beckam being a **** it`s got f-all to do with him being working class and more to do with him being a complete idiot who`s more concerned with his image than playing football. This hostility is in no way due to Chelsea`s complete inability to score goals and Arsenal looking to score a hundred goals before christmas. Looked like Liverpool had a good comeback though

cheers for that fatt! downloaded but can`t get it to play - it jams a few seconds in and locks up whatever program i`m using to run it. Does anyone else have this problem or is it just my computer? want to see mountains in snow!

[will try to remember not to post again while pissed!]

Quote: Originally posted by woywoy: Yeah, I cant leave until the 22nd at earliest as well. Does anyone else have any other tips? I just find that if I dont take holidays during these "renkyu" periods then I can never take long enough holidays. Does anyone else find that? If you are a teacher I guess you dont have that problem but having 10days off a year it really hurts. I`m a teacher and it`s still a problem. Over the summer it`s ok but i`m trying to get away this Christmas and it`s going to cost me a fortune just because all the prices get bumped up so much. The only thing i`ve worke

AAAaahhhh!!! Went into the travel agent today and the cheapest return flight is apparantly 80,000 yen!!! Aparantly because i want to go in the new year holiday. So i guess it`s back to trying to find out an alternative route. Or planning a different holiday " title="" src="graemlins/cry.gif" /> The ferry`s starting to look a good option again!

He is such a muppet! And he admitted it to show how clever he is With any luck sven will play Shaun Wright-Phillips who will have a blinder and put some pressure on Beckham to start playing like he used to and to start acting like a captain should. [edited `cause i`m an idiot!]
