buchailldana comments

I would say I'm supportive of their cause but it seems they are a tad over sensitive to any comment whether Dave Chappelle or JK Rowling.

Time to grow a pair and man up.

the Brits will have to break their own laws to achieve this.

you couldn't make it up.

their reputation will be mud

The British govt needs turmoil to cover up the mess they are in.

After this they will find something new and again and again.

They are trying to maintain their relevance.

And sadly being led by a "jingoistic" govt who is only interested in scoring points. it is leading a once respected nation down the tubes.

They negotiated this agreement, but in their haste to secure Brexit they neglected to foresee the consequences of their actions.

Mary Hartwell, they neglected that industry in the Brexit negotiations , so now most British artists are unable to tour around Europe and broaden their skills.

another example of their unpreparedness!!!

the Peter Pan of world leaders..

And they went after Carlos Ghosn for how much

This guy Frost negotiated the deal he is now complaining about.

The agreed to this deal just so the could get Brexit through and now have the gall to complain about it

They didn't think about the consequences.

And with their inflated sense of importance think they can just change the rules.

Donnons-nous in break.

It's amazing how many people listen to this not job.

But what he did here to the families is inexcusable!!

For a while Australia has been acting in a typical "Aussie" way.

The golden time were rolling.

I think they are going to learn the hard way that being a mate means more than turning up with a good on ya attitude.

Steve in Japan, are you a medical expert or is this just your two cents worth?

My wife has been going on for years that this marriage is wrong or that Komura is dodgy

Today I said what business is it if yours?.

None.

Just leave them be.

The usual media frenzy .

Such a tragic disappearance.

Where did the body go?

And here in Aichi the numbers are growing and now nearly every day you here of some one who has tested positive.

This wasn't happening before.

Children catching it, parents worried, health centers inundated with calls and not able to do anything.

But the armchair experts say it's all hunkdory.

Not from what I can see with my eyes

The same night after playing my weekly futsal game in Nagoya, about 15 of us were having a beer after the game when 4 patrol cars and 3 bicycle cops swooped on us and said we were causing a disturbance.

About 15 cops dispatched whereas this concert was allowed.

Certain people just have no decorum.

"Wasn't technically proficient outside his typical rock genre"

Maybe you should listen to his jazz albums and the eulogies that say he was a master craftsman of his trade.

And most importantly, he was a true gentleman.

A sad loss

State of emergency, quasi state of emergency, mini sort of state of emergency, stick my head under the pillow and hope it goes away state of emergency.

Which one is it?

I think he said he has lost his job.

Unsurprisingly.

He also complained about not being able to leave Singapore and meet his family.

Seems that problem will be sorted for him too.

Although I can imagine a frosty reception from his wife as he tries to explain why he has destroyed their livelihoods

I got my second moderna shot on Monday.

I'm fine now but had a good 30 hours of fever.

Was a tough ride but worth it.

Maybe now I can get to visit my Dad's grave as he passed away last November.

Be prepared for the second shot.

I breezed the first one no trouble

Whether guilty or not,being forced to wait three years for your case to come to court and be held in semi preventative custody is abhorrent.

Shame on Japan

Know of a few people who cant get out of Nagano because of landslides on the chuo highway.

NHK news was basically saying in a week or so don't be hoping to get accepted by a hospital.

How long did the Japanese government have to get ready for this and the did nothing.

No planning for the worst case scenario.

Makes my blood boil

Oh yeah and it was the 57th floor I think rather than the 557th.

My bad

I'm not hiding in fear Tokyoite.

I'm double vaccinated.

I'm talk about the long term consequences rather than the consequences to myself.

The health consequences, financial consequences, societal consequences.

It's more than just me me me!

I remember the start of a french movie where the said "this is the story of a man falling from the 557th floor of a building.

While he is falling he keeps reassuring himself "so far so good so far so good"

But it's not how you fall but the landing that is important.

I fear the crash landing.

Quite appropriate to end in a deluge

The link is that people think, hell if one group can go do all these things why can't my group.

In my 25 years in Japan I've seen some shocking, uninspiring leaders but Suga is the gold medal winner .

He just doesn't look like he cares in the slightest.

Has he any emotions.

In the 80s era of MTV who doesn't remember the ZZ top videos.

Great songs.

Thank you and RIP

I used to do weddings in Japan.

For over 10 years not a bother.

Then one weekend I started to get an unknown stress about it, was throwing up in the shower , nearly fainted a few times by over thinking.

The was no logical reason for it but it was messing me up big time.

I realized I needed to "quit"

I feel poor Ms. Biles just hit that wall.

She is brave to realize that walking away is best.

And anyone saying she is weak.

She's been training non stop for how many years?

What exactly have you guys achieved on a par with her level.

Time to stand down, stand back
