Why do you think they might not be suitable? -
Good movies you've seen recently

I enjoyed Superman Returns, thought it was good fun and it took me back a few years. Recently I saw The Hudsucker Proxy which was very entertaining too. -
I do not love really really poor movies. Miami Vice for example. Just garbage.

I'm sure they do massage numbers. After all, no-one is going to be able to check them. A rise for Fukushima wonder where they're all going. -
Aso does sound like that I see "dracula" Hashimoto has passed away today. Wasn't he still working?

Go east then go north no doubt_! -
Not keen on the idea of big 'cocks' being flown over Japan, got to say. Not too difficult to imagine NK suddenly becoming a very serious situation.

Blokes, alas Quote: "Generally speaking, in Japan, the ability of men and women to communicate smoothly with each other is somewhat low," What's with that then? By age 40, one male in 10 still a virgin "You've got to be joking, right?" This is how evening tabloid Nikkan Gendai (May 31) reacts to the results of a study by the Japan Family Planning Association titled "Male and Female Life and Awareness." If Nikkan Gendai is incredulous, it's because of this: 7.9% of the men in the 40-45 age segment claimed they have yet to experience sex. If at least some of the 5% wh

In the end, did Hakuba village (not just the ken as a whole) benefit from having the Olympics or was it just more cost than worth?

I just saw the ad on National Geographic here in Japan. Japanese subtitles and text, the talking was in English. Fanbloodytastic. -
Well, I "get" Gervais, loved The Office, liked Extra and was amused by the Podcast. But I think these dvds are not good at all. Very disappointing. There's some laughs for sure, but not nearly enough. And yes, the running time is pretty pathetic as well. Value for money Ricky? Don't think so......
