Tmarie, thats why I always carry a brolly with a nice, shiny, pointy spike. Sometimes I feel like the fourth musketeer swashbuckling my way through a tsunami of myopic kamikaze cyclists. Great fun.

Bag lady looks like a great mom. Leave her alone.
I used to smoke 40 a day. 3 fags (that what cigarettes were called, in the days when gay meant happy) in bed before I got up! Gave up in 1980 when the cost of a pack went up to 70 pence (UK)! I'm not paying that!
Took 5 years to lose the urge. Hardest part was passing on the joints....

Posted in: Court rejects retrial for man on death row over 1961 killings See in context
By my calculations, 1961 to 2012 is 51 years. If he had been sentenced to life imprisonment, he would have been out decades ago. so he not only gets a double life imprisonment sentence, he also gets to swing!? Is that next clatter of keys in his cell door his daily riceball, or the hangman?
Cruel and unusual punishment? Unbelievable. Guilty or not, hasn't he paid for it?
Shame on you Japan

Posted in: 6-yr-old girl dies after car plows into schoolchildren in Osaka See in context
I got done for speeding once in Tokyo. It cost me 80,000 yen. Since then I always observe speed limits, which is an extremely dangerous thing to do due to constant tailgating by drivers who try to intimidate (honking horns, flashing lights, shouting, giving me the finger, punching my window at traffic lights - I always lock my doors from inside) and totally ignore speed limits and most other traffic rules.
The police do nothing but occasionally stand outside their kobans leaning on their big sticks trying to look tough, while all manner of insane driving habits go on right in front of their noses.

Seconded, tmarie;I always get in and out, with family, no probs. Usually have a laugh and a joke with the immigration bloke/blokess. "What d'ya wanna come here for?" he said, last time.
Real beer and football, of course. And friendly people..
