Aeon hired British online grocery pioneer Ocado in November to build state-of-the-art robotic warehouses, aiming to fend off rivals such as Amazon,

So they hired a company from "broadband laggard Britain". Wise choice, eh.

I used to tell people each of my kids is not a 'half' but a 'double'. Then wait 30 seconds while the look of puzzlement on their faces gradually gave way to a 'naru hodou' (occasionally). Usually just 'eeeeh?' though.

"The enforcement order will prohibit such actions as ringing a bell to annoy other cyclists, unnecessary braking and blocking a pathway... "

Good luck with enforcing that.

Desperate for the Olympics to go ahead, Japan hid the true scale of this crisis. Now the horse has bolted. You reap what you sow.

I'm just surprised that ISIS, Al Qaeda etc are not as yet (as far as we know) doing the same thing globally. Perfect way to commit suicide and take lots of others with you.

Let's avoid the shame and embarrassment of failure. March the injured ones off straightaway. Get them out of sight, and out of mind.

Posted in: Japan booed as it advances on yellow cards despite losing to Poland 1-0 See in context

Oh, the irony, that a country obsessed with the avoidance of shame should stoop to such shameful tactics to scrape through. And, irony of ironies, that they should get through on "fair play" criteria. I would have loved it if the ref had gone round giving yellow cards to each of the time-wasters, so that they had more than Senegal and, shock, horror, would have needed to score A GOAL to get through! In fact, why didn't the ref do this? Players get cautions for time-wasting in many other scenarios; why not this? Shame on you Japan.

Kawashima is an embarrassment, and has been for years. He can't catch the ball, he punches or palms it away, anywhere, and always tries to make every save look spectacular. He has no positional sense and he has no idea where his goalposts or goal-line are. To let that Vertongen header in says it all.

Posted in: Trump's visit to UK still on as online petition opposing it tops 1.5 million signatures See in context

Let him come, if he dares... I can't wait. Just imagine all the demonstrations, marches, placards,rotten eggs, tomatoes, riots... Oh the humiliation, the embarrassment, the shame. The Brits will wipe that smug, manic, narcissistic, megalomaniac smirk off his bright orange mug once and for all. I just feel sorry for poor old Lillibet, in her 90's, who will have to "entertain" this moron. She'll just have to throw a sickie, catch another cold. Leave it to Charlie and Camilla to show him around- maybe visit Birmingham or Bradford, places with large Muslim populations. That'd be a laugh. Mind you they'd probably ban him from entering! Bring it on!

Come to Japan! Always a warm welcome here. There was a huge leap of almost 150% (from 2014-2015) in the number of refugees allowed to stay in Japan.

Up from 11, to 27.
