That is unbelievable body language from a PM. He looks how the kids feel when Kocho-sensei gives one of his interminable speeches.

Yes, his gang tattoos show it. That’s on record

What, some anonymous gimboid on Twatter, sorry “X”.?? You call that “record”? Buahhahahahahahahahahahaha!

And I should’ve added that I cannot access THIS site while at work…..it’s flagged as “entertainment”…… so can’t access Amazon, JT, YT and many others, but plenty of explicit ads get displayed on other news sites. How are they getting through when it’s obvious porn can’t be accessed at work either?

Obviously the answer is more potatoes. As Bubba would say, fried potatoes, scalloped potatoes, baked potatoes, hash browns, mashed potatoes, roasted potatoes…

What’s taters, precious? What’s taters, eh?

Po-tay-toes. Boil 'em, mash 'em, stick 'em in a stew. Lovely big golden chips with a nice piece of fried fish……..

Whole-heartedly agree. It’s about time the Japanese public learned just how much their farming countryfolk and govt. have been ripping them off.

Yes AdBlock and their ilk are very useful. Sadly, I cannot install anything on my school’s laptops, as they are “controlled by your organization.” My students have seen them already. They easily get through whatever security the schools use. And i most certainly do not watch porn. Can’t even access Amazon or YT at work, never mind porn.

Dear Don the Con,

It truly beggars belief when the leader of Communist China (no less!) states that they should “uphold the stability of the global free trade system.” What on earth are you doing? Do you even know anymore? SMH

yours sincerely,

The World.

Shohei Ohtani leads MLB jersey sales

Until the next ‘Big Thing’ or when his team start losing again, then you won’t be able to give away Dodgers’ shirts. Japan does like it winners, after all.

Their country, their rules. Stay out of it VD……sorry, JDV…..

Oh dog, will this nightmare never end?

Morse and Poirot.

Fitter, happier, more productive…..

“Coughs and sneezes spread diseases, catch them in your handkerchief…..”

A Japanese version of Hughie Green (only Brits over 60 will understand this).

Speak for yourself. I’m 52, yet I know who Hughie Green was. Comparing HG to MM is very unfair on HG. Much better comparison would be Swiss Tony from the Fast Show - condescending, smarmy, charming and authoritative, not forgetting tanned and immaculately groomed too.

Yet another…so sad.

If you haven’t already, watch The Conversation ASAP. It was my sole reason for visiting Union Square in San Francisco. Great movie.

Good. I hope they take each other down.

So long as they don’t go the way of the Star Wars and Marvel franchises - endless, turgid spinoffs, with back stories of M, Blofeld or Moneypenny (some Bond ‘expert’ saying how amazing it would be to know about her back story….no. It REALLY wouldn’t.) or making Bond black or a woman, then fine.

In fact, make the spin offs,(will never watch them), just leave Jimmy alone.

If they want time to fill, they have the 5 years between JB ditching Madeleine Swann and then seeing him in the Bahamas in ‘No Time to Die.’ As a starting place, it’s as good as any.

The squad saving deer from tourist trash in Nara

I know they can be a nuisance, but that’s no way to talk about tourists…….

Free speech doesn't mean you can yell fire in a croweded room, even freedom of speech has it's limits, the difference is, in the general rule of conversation as a matter of discourse, you should be allowed to say whatever you want provided it is not antagonistic with purposeful and vitriolic demeaning threats. 

Oh boy, have you changed your tune!

Every cloud……

The number of times I see couples sitting in a cafe or restaurant looking at their smartphones (now there’s an oxymoron, if ever there was) instead of each other; groups of friends glued to their screens…….

Do you think the art of conversation has been lost in the digital age?

Reacts like a teenager, shaking head, with a face of exasperation: “Well, duh!”

Kiss my ring, knave!

Which one?

What’s this? Yet another LDP scandal involving money? Will wonders never cease?

Still use a G4 PowerBook and a G5 iMac both running OS X 10.6. To be honest, they are both rather slow regarding the internet, but the iMac is primarily used as a server for streaming to network player. Works perfectly fine in that regard. Kept them working by taking apart, adding RAM or a new hard-drive.

Other than that, I still have several record players, connected to a couple of tube amps. I got rid of a “HD, 5.1/7.1 all bells and whistles AV” player in favour of analogue. As Sakurasuki says, things can be fixed. And the “older” tech seems much easier to fix.

Can’t wait. /s

I’m sick of forking-out for Apple made chargers when they do nothing to stop the cable insert from breaking. I’m equally sick of buying third-party chargers that say they charge but actually don’t. So I welcome this decision. Apple use “sustainability etc” as a selling point; I think they need to be held to it.

Don’t hotels pay towards the municipalities around Japan to improve infrastructure and transportation in the first place? You know, like a council tax? Isn’t this why the cost of staying in hotels is so expensive to begin with? To cover overheads?

Besides, we all know how these councils lie and cheat; individuals siphoning money for themselves. This is the true reason. Greed. The ones with the money want more. Nothing more, nothing less. Any other “excuse” is just hyperbole.

Yipppppeeeeeee! Twice in one year! Can’t wait. The noise. The intense banality of Japanese politicians. The gullible public voting for the same old cronies. I look forward to it with fervent anticipation…….

A hotel clerk told the band they weren't allowed to take photos inside, but when the clerk stepped away, the group ran into the lobby and Diltz quickly got the photo looking through the window, with legendary frontman Jim Morrison in the middle. 

“It was a great old wooden building with many small rooms upstairs where transients and drinkers could sleep it off on a cot for $2.50 a night!" Diltz told The Associated Press on Friday. "I think the beautiful front window with “Morrison Hotel” in red letters was the best part of it! So did The Doors!”

I think an image of the front cover would have been appropriate, particularly for the uninitiated.

Morrison and The Doors would release one final album, “L.A. Woman,” before he was found dead in a Paris bathtub on July 3, 1971.

Or did he….? Hehehe!!!

Watch J-TV. Nothing in life can be as depressing as that, so it’s bound to pick you up!
