  1. Been offered a couple of teaching jobs recently - one of head teacher and the other as a kindergarten teacher and thinking about how much to ask for. am currently on 310,000 a month and now we are talking about money for the new jobs. How much should I realistically ask for/expect in the new positions? Am thinking maybe 10% more? Is this too high/low? Ta for advice
  2. Stupid idea - carefully think about it those who won't buy petrol on this day, and if their cars are low on petrol, will either have to buy it the day before or the day after, thus negating the whole point of this protest. More over, some of these companies affected are multinationals - so if tone country doesn't buy it, the other countries they operate in will still buy the petrol as well. This was supposed to happen in the UK but for the simple reasons above it didn't edit - also taking into account that Shell recently announced a 13.9 billion profit, the quoted figure of

  6. A cumberland Quote: Cumberland Sausages are a type of traditional sausage that originated in the ancient county of Cumberland, England. They are usually very long (up to 50cm), and sold rolled in a flat circular coil. Sometimes they are made shorter, like ordinary British sausages and sometimes they are served in breadcrumbs, like a minced beef crispbake but with sausage (Cumberland) in it instead.

  8. Depends on how much I want to see them and if they are/aren't coming to Japan. Led zep would pretty much be the only ones now - maybe Pearl Jam but they've annoyed me too much.

  11. on the xbox it depends on the publishers really - there is region locking in the architecture which companies like EA use, but other companies, such as Activision, Ubisoft, and some MS games choose not to lock their games.

  13. Those van camp beans are yuck - bought an 8 back last year as I thought - hey beans - can't screw those up. Had one can and gave the rest away. But, went to Fiji and picked up some Aussie/NZ beas, same design as Heinz, Wattie's I think they were called, and tasted exactly the same as the UK beans. And yes everything in the UK is miles better then anywhere else - well apart from regional unprocessed food that is
  14. Its funny - I kinda get ingonored now which is great. Black hair and black eyes - as the Japanese would describe themselves - have actuall been asked if I have any Japanese heritage - but I don't look remotely Japanese at all. Some of my friends - female or different hair colour - still get looked and pointed at but me nothing. I feel left out now. I wanna be treated like a zoo animal.
  15. Turns out they were snowboarding down a mountain at the early hours of the day - a couple of them were employees of the ski resort. Think it says at 4am? Apparently, the got the lifts to their end and then climbed up to the top of the mountain by themselves. One of the wives raised the alert when she said that her husband hadn't come home.
  16. Can't wait for this evening - drunk salarymen and ice - bound to be 'entertaining'
  17.  4日午前0時ごろ、広島県安芸太田町横川の「国設恐羅漢スキー場」から、「スノーボードをしていた男性7人が下山せず、連絡がとれない」と県警山県署に連絡があった。  同署や地元消防団などの計約90人が同7時から捜索している。  同署によると、男性らは広島、山口、福岡県在住の30~40歳のグループで、うち5人は客、ほかの2人は同スキー場の従業員。従業員は3日、休みだった。  客の5人は3日午前10時30分ごろ、従業員の2人は午後1時30分ごろ、それぞれリフトで山頂へ登り、その後、コースを外れて歩いていくのを、別の従業員が目撃している。  同3時30分ごろ、うち1人が携帯電話で友人に「今ボードで山を滑って下りている」と話したのを最後に、連絡がつかなくなったという。  同6時ごろ、連絡の取れない従業員の妻から、スキー場管理事務所へ「夫が帰ってこない」と連絡があり、スキー場の従業員が探したが、見つからなかったという。  同スキー場は、広島、島根県境の恐羅漢山(1346メートル)の東側中腹にある。 In japanese but thats the story.
