In NO WAY did I give any indication of what had happened on this forum I simply wished him the best and also was hoping that all his friends on this forum would be there for him. As far as anyone else on this forum from reading my reply he could just ha

Give me 5 weeks and I will have a daily report and photo's for this thread.

Great Picture - This photo should also be in Crazy Japan Photo's!!! Obviously no Work Place Health and Safety here!!

Sorry but I think this is a good thread for Mike. We can all give Mike our best. This may have been covered in other threads a while ago but I know that at the moment Mike would really like some well wishes from everybody beleive me he needs it. Hi Mike - Hope you are doing well.

Sad as it is to admit this I am listening to the Susan Boyle CD. I just find her voice so hauntingly beautiful. Enjoyed all the tracks on the CD (Shhhhhh Don't tell anyone this though )

Happy New Year to everyone!! Hope 2010 is prosperous ~ healthy ~ happy and every thing else you wish for. Have a good one

It is a free world and all but if you want to have personal conversations on this thread why not just email that stuff or start another thread - no offense - maybe the niseko check in thread? Kinda keen on pics and basic c

Thanks for taking the time to post the pics they are great. Very dark there for 4.30pm?? Glad to hear you are all having a good time. How is the shoulder holding up??

Christmas Dinner Christmas Dog CHRISTMAS PRESENT - Thanks so much to Mike for getting this photo to me. It made Mr Snowhunters Day

Went and saw Sherlock Holmes yesterday. I really enjoyed it. All the characters worked well and it was a good story line. Long though, take extra popcorn and choc top 170 mins

Sounds like 6 years ago - Found this great little spot in Japan called Niseko they have unbelievable snow. Don't tell anyone about it though!!!

Thanks for the heads up on that MB. We were hiring a car over there and hadn't even given an international license a thought.

Great Photo's Thanks Mamabear. Loved the Icicle Trees!! Have you ventured into Mizuno No Sawa Yet??

Don't let them play with anything that might hurt them oh and most of all DON'T LET THEM H

Originally Posted By: sunrise One thing - just because the docs say someone will die it doesn't necessarily mean that will happen. Be careful of believing a death sentence if it comes from someone outside of yourself as anything is possible. My sister is living proof of that. I don't know your friend's illness but my sister was supposed to die twice from brain cancer, docs had no hope for her and a year later she has no detectable cancer in her at all, and the docs are amazed. She still has a long road to recovery but it never occurred to her that she would die from it, she had the belief and

Remember to treat him as you would before you got the terrible news. Don't now treat him like he is fragile (even if he is) make every day a day for him to remember. I recently went to a funeral and made the decision there and then and have told all my family. I want all my friends to stand up and remember one good or fun thing about me, Everyone is to wear something bright NO BLACK. Definately DO NOT PLAY Wing beneath my wings perhaps Don't worry Be Happy. Please celebrate my life, don't all leave crying - leave happy. I will not be buried I will have my ashes scattered over my

Awesome photo's guys . Reminds me what I have to look forward to.

MERRY CHRISTMAS HOPE YOU ALL HAVE A FABULOUS CHRISTMAS AND A SAFE ONE!!!! Pictures tomorrow of our National Lampoon Christmas

I think that would be the best plan SC. We always bring enough cash and then just use the card if we are somewhere that they take it. Plus the great thing is you always feel like a billionaire with all those 10000 yens.

Funny how this time of year certain things go up - Potatoes, Cranberry Sauce, Prawns, Custard etc. Try this sauce for your turkey - Cranberry Sauce, Avocado, Natural Yoghurt and Spring Onions. It is Oyshiii!!

I agree with GN - You hardly here anything of the bali nine and 1 of them is a girl but not as lucky in the looks department, little overweight short hair, a little butch looking!! Funny not seeing her face on the front of all the magazines.

Didn't she watch Banged Up Abroad. If you get caught doing something illegal in one of those countries your not exactly going to go to the hilton 5 star!! I understand it must be awful for her but there are a lot of other Aussies in terrible jails around the world who did wrong and are now paying the penalty.
