Another case for the HR vampires in general to be hung drawn and quartered, in this day and age perhaps a recording of the offensive commands would have helped sway the courts finding. Push on with the case fair damsel, as Prada (made in who knows where) could do with loosing a few pounds !!

Go forth and conquer young lad, but methinks a language and cultural battle royal wilst ensue with possibly no home fort to return to! Also perhaps it would be helpful to mention Nomo, a past knight of great fame in the performed very well stakes?

Posted in: Okinawans use kites to protest against Osprey aircraft See in context
My knights and I had a little round table discussion on this current hot potato and having quaffed at least a gallon of hot honied mead, Lancelot came up with this very funny joke and I quote thus, "When is an airplane not a helicopter ? When it`s an Osprey". We all had a long guffaw at this incredibly dull joke. But when it comes to war, Lancelot knows what he is doing and recommends that the big boys be left alone to do the job, as they have been doing, since the end of WW2. If such an onerous task is not appreciated, then the big boys should politely leave and let the local knights get on with it !

My knights loved the original movie, clean good fun and lot`s of music. But with Farrell being cast in this interestingly themed film, the movie is bound to be a flop. The lad (CF) has never quite made it back due to his shocking performance as a practitioner of Greek love in the Alexander debauch!

Posted in: Hashimoto officially registers new party See in context
Excellent news, once he has cleaned up the mess in kingdoms of Osaka/Sakai, he can then move onto the national stage, presuming that he gets up to 30 of his knights past the post at the next election. In the mean time, his wing man might want to tone down his comments on the other parties in the race as he will have to work with them sooner, rather then later.

One wonders if the Bar Owners Association of Shinjuku will try doing the same thing in Kabukicho, should lead to some interesting confrontations? Good luck you Citibank staffers with your new digs, as you walk to and from Shinjuku station!

Excellent news from the Japan/US/Euro side, bringing Burma/Myanmar back in from the cold is going to benefit the population in general and will add economic growth to the region. Hopefully the country wont fall into a civil war in the near future, as the current military relaxes its grip on the power steering. Watch this space for further developments !
