well i must pop up there one day. I have never been there. I hope i can find it .. lol.. I have already been hit by a shark so my odds are pretty good at not getting hit again. redhead was ok this morning. the noreasters blow longshore there sorta..

I was thinking about going there. Does it get crowded there? I might head off to redhead this morning..

The easterlies are still blowing but the rain has stopped at least. Maybe the noreasters will start blowing now.. I have been able to surf and ride the bike this weekend - the first time for a week..

yummm cupid valley. "Cupid Valley .... The compacted snow makes for a safe and enjoyable run down the slopes. "

ram is king... or queen.. but ram only controls the speed of the operating system and your software and not necessarily the speed of the internet..

go with the ibook with 768 mb ram.. Not that i know anything about macs Australian bandwidth is pathetic, thanks to stinky telstra and little johnny howard.. It's a joke.

adding to tubby's excellent description, this is from wikipedia.. "The phrase fly by night is a derisive term in the English language for businesses that appear and disappear rapidly, or that give an impression of transience. It has also been applied to individual traveling businessmen and tradesmen. The phrase implies that the quality of work done or goods sold is shoddy enough that the person responsible must leave town under cover of darkness to evade angry customers, or sometimes legal authorities."

I just watched series one and two on dvd. I got them from the library. It was really great. I caught up on heaps of little details that i had missed and got a great overview of what was going on. Now i want a series 3 dvd to watch.

imho ram and chip speed have nothing to do with how fast the internet loads.. it is all up to the isp provider and the phone line and the modem.. and a few obscure settings on your machine..

I just go on the road. I do it mainly for fitness. Are those pics a normal japanese surf day? It is small but it looks like they are reasonable waves. Are there any waves in February? I was wondering about going for a surf on a weekend maybe when i come skiing. Or am i just crazy?

Congrats to all the winners. I especially like the bushpig one. That snow looks all soft and fluffy. ooh aaahhh

yes, i am going troppo.. cannot even go for a bike ride coz its raining all the time.. I went last night and had to hide under a bridge while it poured down..

easterlies still blowing on the east coast of oz.. slop slop slop.. ugh!!

tubby, i think it was a flash forward.. but i better not say anything that might spoil it for ppl that have not seen it..

No. Season 3 is still hard kore. Hang in there and you will be rewarded..

I do not know if you want any bug reports but the links to page 2 etc(next button) of the resort reviews are not working.. eg. on this page:- http://www.snowjapan.com/e/resorts/resort_review.php?resortName=Happo-one&id=65 and the link is: http://www.snowjapan.com/e/resorts/ReviewSearchResult.php?k=10&rno=1&resortName=Happo-one You get a "page not found" error. I think the error is on all the resort reviews going to page 2 etc...

yep it is about time we had another world champ. go the fanning..!

I have been to the Hinakos Islands in the nineties before the yacht craze started. It is freaking awesome there. We went in an old indo fishing boat that looked like one of those refugee boats.. One dude got a fin in his leg and someone stitched him up on the boat. WE got some sik waves but i have no idea where they are. We had no maps and i doubt if the captain even had a compass! I know i surfed Bawa at about ten foot, snapped my leg rope and ended up in shore at the village with all the locals staring at my and the kepala desa(village head) inviting me in for a cuppa. be

I am not a latin scholar. Just four years at high school. decorum may be translated as "right" or appropriate. Meet is an ok translation as well. dulce would relate to modern italian dolce as in La Dolce Vita. not a bad poem that. I could not imagine being in those trenches. yuk.

South Easter came up so i went for a massive bike ride. The legs are getting ready for the snow..

What you do is paddle even further inside so that they go so deep that they get smashed and then paddle back inside and get the wide ones.. anyway surf here today is tiny and very crowded. I am tossing up whether to go out or just go for a bike ride.

I saw it on the news and was awfully distressed. --

No wuckers mate. See you there. *waves back*

omg, how much does BA suck? I have had a few surfs at lancelin. not a bad reef that.. I went for a surf yesterday at merewether and mark richards was out. lol. Even he couldnt make the one foot onshore slop look good.

oh doh! Domestic! Maybe i should learn to read before i post!!11!! I have sussed out a few hotels in the shin-imamiya area. They are heaps cheap there.. Also, it is near the subway that goes direct to ShinOsaka Station for the bullet train.. Shin Imamiya Cheap Hotels Hotel Toyo Yougendo GuestHouse. To get to Shin Imamiya from the airport you take the osaka loop train. To get to Shin Osaka you can get the subway at Dobutsuen-mae station. Both stations are very close to these cheap hotels. I hope some of that helps. To make up for my big booboo..
