  1. Just to think, when The Times start charging to use their site, I will be able to continue reading stuff like this

    She was a pretty young dancer who was in love and hoping for a marriage proposal. He was a handsome pop singer who had his heart set on stardom and was willing to sacrifice any hope of a lasting relationship.

     

    The 21-year-old Cliff Richard said that he had showbiz in his blood and would be lost without it when he broke his first girlfriend’s heart in a letter that ended their courtship. Now the contents have been made public after the death of Delia Pyle, born Delia Wicks, from cancer at 71.

     

    Richard, now Sir Cliff, had been going out with Delia for 18 months and, despite his habit of bringing his mother and sisters on their dates, she had fallen for the man who was to become a lifelong bachelor.

     

    Ace.

  2. Man with half a body defies the odds by 'fathering a child'

     

    Despite only having half a body, Kenny Easterday insists he can live the life of a normal man.

    Now he appears to have proved it after claiming he has fathered a child.

     

    Easterday, 35, was born with a rare condition called sacral agenesis, which prevented his spine from developing normally.

     

    When he was just six months old, doctors amputated Kenny's legs and used part of his shinbone to complete his partially-formed spine.

    Kenny is so small he can fit inside a suitcase but that hasn't stopped him playing pool, bowling, working - or having a love life with fianceé Nicky, 33.

    Wayne Rooney will be out injured for two to three weeks, the Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson said this morning.

    Rooney's injury was confirmed as a minor ligament strain by the club yesterday and Ferguson said in this morning's press briefing that the England international would be back within three weeks.

    That rules Rooney out of the second leg of the Champions League quarter-final against Bayern Munich but could enable him to return for the derby against Manchester City on 17 April.

    It all seemed rather pointless.


    Is one surprised, Wiggles-san? wink

    These programmes might start of (might) enlightening Japanese about foreign opinions on stuff, but end up just being like a shouting freak show and simply making the stereotypes stronger.

    That dumb 'doctor' talent woman ended the programme with the old classic "nihonjin to shite umarete yokatta" (I'm glad I was born Japanese) put-down/comment.

    In summer may up it to once a day on work days if it's particularly warm but that doesn't happen too often in Hokkaido. So on average 3 times a week.


    You smelly!
    wink

    At least 1 a day usually when I get back from work.
