Totally missed this season. But my first resort was Naeba.

Thanks for sharing the details. It's ony my plans for next winter.

Tommy Smith. Now there's a name I haven't heard for a while. Look at the line up for Sky this weekend: http://soccer.skyperfectv.co.jp/Premier/index.html 4/14 (金) 27:40 マンチェスターUvsサンダーランド 181 4/15 (土) 20:40 ボルトンvsチェルシー 183 4/15 (土) 22:55 アーセナルvsウェストブロムウィッチ 185 4/16 (日) 19:55 アストンビラvsバーミンガム 182 4/16 (日) 22:25 ブラックバーンvsリバプール 306 4/17 (月) 20:40 トッテナムvsマンチェスターU 183 4/17 (月) 22:55 チェルシーvsエバートン 184 4/17 (月) 22:55 サンダーランドvsニューカッスル 307 4/17 (月) 27:55 ウェストブロムウィッチvsボルトン 182 9 live games

I hope both United and Chelsea lose all their remaining matches. And we get 2nd. That's the main wish. Of course!

"Keepsakes", All About Eve. It's a best of type 2cd compilation and (surprisingly to me) really good. She has got a fantastic voice.

I haven't heard more recent stuff of The Mish. The Mish were the best gig I've ever been to though. The Hillsborough benefit concert they did in Liverpool after Hillsborough (Hussey is a lifelong Liverpool fan). Very moving it was, rocking gig (...a few too mad Eskimos though!) Talking of (the brighter side of) goth, my sister has sent me a best of album of All About Eve - never really got into them but this is surprisingly good.

Some places seem to be opening just weekends for a few weeks. With the amount of people who would go and pay, it might not make sense for many places to continue being open.

United have not been consistent for a long time - I don't think they are going to win the final 6 or so games. We shall see. Looking forward to see how Arsenal play tonight.

Had some mad nights myself at the Hacienda. Top, "special", place. Actually both Hooky and Rob Gretton bought the name after it shut its doors. Gretton is no longer with us, so I think it's just Hooky that owns it now. Tony Wilsons son has recently licensed the name for a "Hacienda night" he was doing. On each of the 3 cds there's some kind of "intro" (they're calling it) from Gretton. Tony Wilson, and Mike Pickering/Marting Hannett. (Not heard it). Hooky said he was looking at all the Cream compilations and "they're always shit", so thought he'd do a Hacienda one.

They are also so I heard in an interview on Fox considering doing a 24 based in Japan.

Since my last post, we don't seem to be able to stop scoring. That's more like it. The big race is 2nd and 3rd, not 1st and 2nd. I can't see United beating all their matches and Cheslea losing more than 7.

A friend sent me some BOTTOM dvds (first and second series). I hadn't actually seen much of Bottom when it was on tv, but remember a few bits. Some really funny bits, really took me back to my student days.

I don't argue much, never have really. Not into the confrontation thing. The only place I've seen the heads nearly butting when arguing is on the footie pitch, but it's actually more like bulls locking horns. Quite funny when they do that.

Baseball? What's that?

I bet the smell was great, Indosnm. I prefer the smell of fresh coffee to the tast of it.

Shocking it was, I'm afraid. I'm with scouser - Crouch was totally useless with his Bambi on Ice routine, Morientez is always useless. Where's the decent strikers out there? Damning fact - our strikers have not scored once THIS YEAR!!!!!!!!

7-11 - get out before it hardens - you'll have enough time, honest!

Whats you experience with patrol in places other than Japan? How do they compare with what you have experienced here? Don't particularly want this to become a slangfest, but interested to hear any comments.

I like my base it's really cool so I don't want it scratched to hell. So I have 2 as well.

Deffo. Backcountry in Runcorn takes you somewhere into the lovely Castner Kellner plant. As for the wallets, you just can't trust those people from Cheshire can you?

Thanks folks. It has been a bit grim. You don't expect to go on holiday and end up dying.

Has anyone seen a movie called DEKALOG? It is 550 minutes long - a 10 part, 10 commandements-inspired Polish drama. Director Krzysztof Kieslowski. Recently I saw the Back to the Future movies again, first time since they first came out. Good fun.

I think the reason they are not taken down is probably that basically it costs money.

Why not check out the daily reports from back then http://www.snowjapan.com/e/daily/niseko-now.php

Already 39 people have died in the French Alps, while in the whole of last season the total was just 25. http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/europe/4767668.stm One of them 39 was a friend of mine.
