maoriboy 0 Posted February 21, 2005 Share Posted February 21, 2005 Well what can I say. Our very own sunrise is an absolutely beautiful singer. Im thoroughly impressed by her singing and frown at all the people living in ,or near, Tokyo that couldnt/wouldnt come. Shame on you all It was a good chance for me to meet a few other SJ residents and Im glad to say it was worth the 1 and a half hour trip. So if you havent already heard her please do!! Lets see if we can make a regular type meeting of Tokyo SJ people!!! Link to post Share on other sites

farquah 0 Posted February 21, 2005 Share Posted February 21, 2005 Maoriboy sent me the pics and gave me runing commentary of what I was missing! Gutted, sounded like a great night. Unfortunatey rugby finished later than expected so couldn`t get down, my loss by the sounds of it. Hope to make it next time. Link to post Share on other sites

sunrise 0 Posted February 21, 2005 Share Posted February 21, 2005 gosh, yer making me blush... thanks for the nice writeup. (Are you interested in a PR job by the way?) It was great meeting you guys. So nice putting faces to names. The only question that remains is whether the mysterious farquah actually exists..... Anyway, looking forward to the next SJ nite - clubhouse midweek, I assume?

slow 0 Posted February 21, 2005 Share Posted February 21, 2005 I had a good time, too! sunrise, thanks for singing My Funny Valentine for me. It reminded me of the beautiful snowfalling night at Sahoro. Thanks for organizing this meeting, Sven! I'm really looking forward to next meeting. I hope to see you guys on the slope soon.

Anyway, looking forward to the next SJ nite - clubhouse midweek, I assume? Not so mysterious Farquah is uaually spotted in dimly lit bars close to abeverage of some sort!! Some say mysterious others aloof!! Definately keen for a bit of clubhouse action some time, and if we round up enough yennage from the bars occupants can you be persuaded to do a brief rendition of what we missed out on on Sunday?!

sunrise 0 Posted February 21, 2005 Share Posted February 21, 2005 Probably not, I doubt they'd have a decent sound system. Much easier to come to where theres a real piano with PA etc. slow plays a mean game of table tennis after a few drinks. Actually, I think she looks very sophisticated with a glass of red wine in her hand, eh, slow? Link to post Share on other sites
slow 0 Posted February 21, 2005 Share Posted February 21, 2005 Sophisticated! Thanks sunrise! Yeah, table tennis was so fun!! Yama, I have no idea what tigress is. Could you tell me what it is like to be tigress? Link to post Share on other sites
mattlucas 0 Posted February 21, 2005 Share Posted February 21, 2005 Wish I could have come. Sounds like a good time. Link to post Share on other sites
sunrise 0 Posted February 21, 2005 Share Posted February 21, 2005 Well, last nite I finally learned how to pronounce Toque. Me and Sven weren't sure but Maori Boy informed is it was Too-k. I thought it was a bit like Toke. Link to post Share on other sites

boardbaka 3 Posted February 21, 2005 Share Posted February 21, 2005 That show sounds great..I hope to get along to the next gig..On Sunrises issue..how about some pronunciation confirmation...In my head I use Torque as in what a WRX impreza has or like the movie "Look who's talking" ...Is it Toke as in smoke or Too kee as in OK or Torquay lke the beach in Australia somewhere?...Should we create a poll?...

maoriboy 0 Posted February 21, 2005 Author Share Posted February 21, 2005 a tigress is a very agressive woman who gets what she wants...not bad to be that, just beware guys publicist? sounds like a good job....I can spin as much bs as you want Link to post Share on other sites
Sven 0 Posted February 22, 2005 Share Posted February 22, 2005 Firstly, an A+ goes out to sunrise for the wonderful performance last night, it was great to see ya again, and even better to hear the voice come out to play. Also, great to meet some new SJ faces! Hope to catch people again both on and off the slopes... there might even be a PM or two about some upcoming skiing And for those I promised a job interview update to ... I had my first proper taste of bureaucracy in Japan earlier today. It was a 1 and a bit hour bus ride each way with a 10 minute interview in between... the resolution was "we can't say whether you've got the job yet (we will decide at a board meeting this week), but we would like you to start 2 weeks earlier than previously mentioned". Bah... anyway, all signs point to a cool job sometime soon, and obviously I asked for some of that 2 weeks of snow-time back Link to post Share on other sites
sunrise 0 Posted February 22, 2005 Share Posted February 22, 2005 When are they supposed to let you know? Yeh, good to see you too. I liked those sketches. Link to post Share on other sites
sunrise 0 Posted February 22, 2005 Share Posted February 22, 2005 I made a mistake - I meant "tauk", not "toke". haha, my brain got confused with "toooook" and too many different pronunciations. Now, if they spell toque like "toque", how come it's pronounced "toook"? Link to post Share on other sites
brett_jackson 0 Posted February 22, 2005 Share Posted February 22, 2005 Torque (Tor-k) is the measure of a force's tendency to produce torsion and rotation about an axis, usually measured in Newton Meters (Nm). And yes boardbaka, a WRX has this (as does any car with an engine). Toque on the other hand (according to dictionary.com), is a woman's small, brimless hat; or a 16th C. plumed velvet cap. I was told by a Canadian it's pronounced 'took' (as in, rhyming with 'duke' or 'puke', not rhyming with 'look'). And the same Canadian said it was essentially a tall beanie/knitted cap (i.e. doesn't fit close to top of head), possibly with additional fluffy ball at the end. But there's really only one person on this board who should be sorting this out.... Link to post Share on other sites
mattlucas 0 Posted February 22, 2005 Share Posted February 22, 2005 Jeez not again We went into all this last year as well. Hard to explain how to say it I guess it sounds like Tuke but you say it like Toque Link to post Share on other sites
