Mantas

Here's some nice graphs with lovely coloured lines.

Quote: Looking round, I saw a bunch of guys with funny looking helmets and balaclavas. I thought cool, but then realized they were beards and rags on their heads. OMG, it has gotten to this. A not so dim witted fellow can still find Goosie's comment freely available in his opening post. At least Tex got it right with 'flippant' and flippant is where it should have stayed.

The $3 Trillion spent on the Iraq war would be real handy right now.

Jynxx-You wouldn't recognize sarcasm if it slapped you in the face. Look out! another pop-up racist.

Yes, rag heads with beards on the mountain are very unsightly indeed. I cant imagine why they would want to degrade the quality of clientele at Niseko by allowing them to ski.

It's all about the kids these days MB. Snow conditions are irrelevant. So long as they have some white stuff to slide from A to B then they are happy. That's why we have been going late season as it's a bit cheaper.

I'm no expert but I did see a documentary about cross dressers. Apparently being a cross dresser doesn't necessarily mean that you are gay. Some very real men, that live a very masculine life, just like to frock up occasionally. Why? Buggered if I know.

Just booked a few days in Sept.

Indo. I'll be in G land on Friday morning. Actually, Magic Seaweed now says 8 foot on Saturday. Which I guess is about 4-5 foot in real terms.

Yep. Surfed for 5 hours today. I don't think it will be needed though, forecast not looking too good.

Are you training up to sort that ref out MB I've been hitting the pool again. 2.6 km with a mix of lung busters and paddles. It's getting a bit harder to be motivated when the air temp in the morning is 10 deg. The water is heated to 23 deg. The first 4 laps are the worst.

Mitch, just how easy is it to buy a gun in the US. I've heard stories about some states where the average punter, without a criminal record, can walk into a gun shop walk out 10 minutes later with a gun. Is that true? BTW- I think it's DiGriz's post that stuffed up this thread. Seeing as no one can understand it. Do you mind deleting it?

Quote: The thing people need to understand behind these murders is 9/10 times they are done with ILLEGAL weapons. Yes our right to bear arms forbids people convicted of crimes to own firearms. I don't think that this is very relevant as the the easy availability and access to legal guns is what creates a huge flow of guns into the community.

OK Rates in New South Wales go something like this. Peak= 34 yen per kwh Shoulder= 12 yen per kwh Low= 7 yen per kwh.

Electricity prices are constantly in the media here. Can anyone tell me what you guys pay for you power in Japan per kilowatt hour?

MB- Sounds like a crappy situation. I'm not sure how I would've reacted to that. I'm a believer of 'what happens on the field stays on the field'. My boy took a punch to the head after he nailed this kid in a bone jarring tackle. It was in full view of the ref and he dealt with it swiftly with a penalty. On the coaches side of the field, we dealt with professionally too (we all sit together) but the parents in the grandstand went nuts. A fight nearly broke out. The kids shrugged it off and played on, shaking hands at the end. All forgotten. It's a lot different to your situation I know but

Ah huh, your one of 'those' mums hey?

Well that's one box ticked.

Find a beach people. Sand is very forgiving to shins. Gives a calves a flogging though.

The kids love it, they get to run around at night with torches following a trail and yelling coded messages etc. I once did one in the Northern Territory and there was a hell of a lot of drinking involved. It was madness. Running around the scrub in 35 deg heat drinking green ginger wine at every stop. They describe themselves as drinkers with a running problem.

I'll bet you don't get 10 posts on this.

Never heard of him. Are there any serious newspapers in the UK?
