oo 1 Posted June 24, 2002 Share Posted June 24, 2002 The weather that is. We took a trip into the country over the weekend (Nagano>Gifu), and it was almost cold in the evenings. Very un-tsuyu-like. Not complaining like, maybe summer's taking a break this year. Now wouldn't that be a bonus. Link to post Share on other sites
scouser 4 Posted June 24, 2002 Share Posted June 24, 2002 Weekend was cool, oo. I cam imagine it was really cool up there in the mountains. It won't last long though, will it now? Link to post Share on other sites

cal 6 Posted June 24, 2002 Share Posted June 24, 2002 strange winter, strange spring, strange rainy season....strange summer maybe? Link to post Share on other sites
oblivion 5 Posted June 25, 2002 Share Posted June 25, 2002 Just right I reckon. It seems the coolness will continue for another few days as well. Link to post Share on other sites
Ocean11 0 Posted June 25, 2002 Share Posted June 25, 2002 This is a disaster! What are you on about?! We had a miserably truncated snow season, followed by what? Valueless cold! And if the annual average temperature is more or less the same, what does that mean either for the summer, if it comes, and the winter? Nothing to celebrate here. I'm wondering whether we're going to have buy more kerosene, at the end of June!! Link to post Share on other sites
Wizz 11 Posted June 25, 2002 Share Posted June 25, 2002 Valueless cold? You're kidding right? You'd rather be sweating your days out in steaming heat? No me, I'm with the peeps above. Link to post Share on other sites
Gifoo 0 Posted June 25, 2002 Share Posted June 25, 2002 Mind if I butt in > very cool over here in Gifu right now, unlike a normal year for this area. Link to post Share on other sites
Ocean11 0 Posted June 25, 2002 Share Posted June 25, 2002 Do I look like I'm kidding? I bought the kerosene. It was warmer two months ago. I have some very nice shirts from Bali (the expensive ones, not the cheap ones that fall to bits), and they're not getting worn at all this year. If the cold doesn't bring snow, I have no use for it! (Hey, where can we get snow themed smilies? Anyone?) Link to post Share on other sites
Ski Japan Guide 0 Posted June 25, 2002 Share Posted June 25, 2002 We may well be getting some snow-themed smilies sometime soon..... Link to post Share on other sites
NoFakie 45 Posted June 25, 2002 Share Posted June 25, 2002 Yeah more smilies! 14 degrees overnight up here. Brrr! Link to post Share on other sites
rach 1 Posted June 25, 2002 Share Posted June 25, 2002 I'm a bit puzzled why you'dz want the hot and sweaty weather to arrive Ocey, what do you get out of that, part from a sweaty spotty back. Its a quick dash back to sunny Bristol for me when it gets too hot. Fancy coming along? Link to post Share on other sites
Ocean11 0 Posted June 26, 2002 Share Posted June 26, 2002 Now rach, you're teasing me again. You know that's not allowed. I've asked you before, but have we been properly introduced...? Actually, I am thinking of taking a little trip back to the ole stomping grounds. Been busy checking out FriendsReunited.com and sending out a few selected hellos. Are you registered on there? The thing about summer is that you've got to have it, and it's not all bad. The green mountains and the fluffy clouds are quite a sight. Wine tastes better in the summer. And there's a line from a Van the Man song that stays with me through the winter months - "And all the girls go by, in all their summer fashions" That's always something to look forward to. Even spotty backs can look quite cute on the right person. --- Looking forward to the new smilies.... Link to post Share on other sites
brit-gob 9 Posted June 26, 2002 Share Posted June 26, 2002 Hmmm. See your point Ocean11, but naah, cool wins out over the oppressive heat. If I'm not mistaken, you also have the huge advantage of not living/working in the city and having to commute in a suit. Not thought of that ey? Link to post Share on other sites
oo 1 Posted June 26, 2002 Author Share Posted June 26, 2002 You're working from home right O11? Big difference, mate. Like britgob says, try a 1 hour journey to work and back in the summer wearing a suit. It sucks. Link to post Share on other sites
Ocean11 0 Posted June 26, 2002 Share Posted June 26, 2002 > Not thought of that ey? Oh yes I ha-ave. When is the world going to realize that suits are a form of torture that we inflict on ourselves, and probably a huge factor in overuse of air-conditioning? Link to post Share on other sites

miteyak 0 Posted June 26, 2002 Share Posted June 26, 2002 Ach, but we look good all suited 'n booted, eh! Just commuted all suited for the first time in over a month on my bike! Love this weather. 19 degrees in Osaka yesterday! Link to post Share on other sites
frannyo 2 Posted June 26, 2002 Share Posted June 26, 2002 Suited. On your bike? Link to post Share on other sites
NoFakie 45 Posted June 26, 2002 Share Posted June 26, 2002 On the subject of suits, anybody notice that Troussier's "assistant" (the term "interpreter" is below him, apparently) kept wearing long light-brown boots with a dark suit? People keep saying he's a model, but aren't they supposed to know about such sartorial faux-pas? It looked worse than the Spanish manager's armpits. You got bike clips, Miteyak? Has anyone seen any in Japan? Link to post Share on other sites
miteyak 0 Posted June 26, 2002 Share Posted June 26, 2002 I'm afraid not. Tucked into the sock. Look like quite the Englishman with me brown roughknit suit! Link to post Share on other sites

Ocean11 0 Posted June 26, 2002 Share Posted June 26, 2002 NoFakie, seen. I thought matey was a fashion reporter for Vogue or something, not a model. Even with the 'right' suit, those boots would be awful. miteyak, I beg to differ on that. It is possible to look good in a suit, but if you then actually go and do something, practically anything, the effect is spoiled. The Presidents of the last two companies I worked for looked great in their suits because they did sweet FA, while everybody else just looked insanitary. Link to post Share on other sites
