The Ides of June. That time of year again. One feels the need to lash out.
I stopped riding trains years ago. Surprised we don't read about train violence more often than we do.
Train Train Hashite Yuke.. Train Train Doco Made Moooooooooooo!

Why the Dickens is an old biddy carrying around all that money? You can only withdraw so much at a time from ATMs, that means that she must have withdrawn the money with the help of a bank clerk. Shame on the bank clerk for letting her leave the bank with all that money. in the first place.

Anyone who has lived /been coming here for years will remember that before the Aum Subway attack there used to be trash cans everywhere. After the attack, they were all removed.

My mate said that this is the sequel to Di Caprio's The Beach. Is this true? I know the shark attack in The Beach was pretty horrific. How bad can an attack by dolphins be?

Posted in: World Cup probably already over for Japan See in context
Already over? The Japanese team played their hearts out to qualify. They will stand together as a team, proud listening to their national anthem on the speakers of the PA system before the game. Already over? The team will get the chance to play against some of the best teams in the world. Individual players may well shine on the world stage and come to the attention of scouts for big clubs. Already over? Who are you kidding Mr. Varcoe? Yes, under-dogs they are but participants in one the greatest events in the sporting calendar. Don't belittle their achievements Mr. Varcoe, embrace it. Don a blue shirt and join in the fun. The locals put up a huge TV screen in Komazawa park when Japan played Russia in the 2002 Finals. Japan 1 - Russia 0. Thousands of people where in the park. One of the best nights I have had in this country. Unforgettable.
Already over you say Mr. Varcoe? No victory for Japan, you say? Have a little faith. Lift the shroud of the dark side. My old padawan, already over? It is footie, anything can happen, much to learn you still have. Over? No! It has only just begun.

All those Eikaiwa teachers must be laughing all the way to the bank now. Back in the bubble era the exchange rate was 250Yen to 1 Pound. And until Oct. 2008: 220Yen to a quid. Yesterday it was 129Yen to 1 Pound. If you work hard and are frugal, you could pay off your uni debts and return back to the UK with enough for a very healthy deposit on a house in a number of years.

Bollocks. The article only focuses on the losers. I bet quite a few ore-ore dudes walked off fully wedged up and have started legit businesses. Like they always say, the first million is the hardest. Good luck to them.

What the article fails to give is the outrageous ticket price to the island. I wanted to take my motorbike and bird to one of the islands from Atami one time but changed my mind when told the price. Can't remember what they said, but I do remember that it was on par with one months hotel and spending money in South East Asia.
