rajeem 0 Posted June 2, 2002 Share Posted June 2, 2002 In Japan or overseas. I don't mean the crappy freeby English mags in Japan, but stuff like Powder mag, or music/sports/movie mags and stuff. They all seem so expensive in Tower Records and stuff, wondering if its cheaper to subscribe and get them sent over. Link to post Share on other sites
scouser 4 Posted June 3, 2002 Share Posted June 3, 2002 I get some mags sent over from the UK - NME, Q Magazine, and my mate bought me a sub present to FHM mag last summer so that comes every month too. They come to about 10000-12000 yen for 12 issues, including getting them sent over. The postman likes it when the cover is see through rather than dark gray!

Wizz 11 Posted June 8, 2002 Share Posted June 8, 2002 I used to get magazines sent over, but after them being sent over the info is well old when you get them. Now we have cheap internet, magazines are a waste of time (and a lot of money!), that's what I reckon. Link to post Share on other sites
Ocean11 0 Posted June 8, 2002 Share Posted June 8, 2002 But you can't read the Internet on the toilet, can you? (Actually I can, with my PocketPC.) I'm wondering when Toto are going to come out with a broadband Internet toilet - it's an obvious next step. You can even have it take samples and contact your local hospital if it finds you have cancer. And read your favourite online magazines. Link to post Share on other sites
blinkin'ek 0 Posted June 9, 2002 Share Posted June 9, 2002 Is the reading on the toilet thing a British "pastime"? WHY do you want to do that? Link to post Share on other sites

blinkin'ek 0 Posted June 14, 2002 Share Posted June 14, 2002 Hey, hey Mr Ocean? Sorry cas, not too big on Japanese publications. Sure someone can help though. Link to post Share on other sites
Ocean11 0 Posted June 14, 2002 Share Posted June 14, 2002 Sorry, I thought that was a rhetorical question... Well, for a start, sitting on the bog is about the only time people don't come and bother you for something. Also, if like us, your sh!t don't stink, then the environment is very peaceful and conducive to concentration. There are precious few other times when you can really afford to take the time to read, so I'm surprised that you're surprised. As to it being 'British' I wouldn't know as I'm an Englishman and not some sort of Celt. (I had the feeling that you were English too, with that name and all, or did I give you more credit than you deserve?) Certainly, we English don't have books explaining that farting is no cause for anxiety as I understand they have in America, which suggests to me that the British perhaps have a more robust and practical view of toilets anyway. You may have hit on an interesting point there. The English were the first people to stop squatting miserably over a hole to crap, and there must have been some reason behind the development of the 'toilet seat'. I daresay the gentleman thought he might like to take his time and read a good book. --- Aren't snowboard mags a seasonal thing? They seem to disappear from Japanese bookshops with snow.
