See here’s the dilemma - if you buy something to eat or drink, it comes with plenty of packaging. If you look for a bin to place it in, THERE ARE NONE, anywhere. So you walk round holding the wrappers and the sticky cup for a while looking for somewhere to get rid of it ….

Go see how other cities deal with this problem.

This is a must-buy item! Instead of tipping up the bottle, all you do is press a button. What a labour-saver! Thanks for letting us know about this fab product.

Fantastic. Gonna order a bunch of these. The perfect Xmas gift. Shopping sorted!

There is a plateau in Italy which has wonderful coloured flowerings in June and July due to the natural poppies and the lentils grown there. It is one of the most magical places and worth googling: Castelluccio in Le Marche.

I have often wondered about the risks associated with using onsen too? Could these be a way in streptococcus is being transmitted? The water is warm and generally unchlorinated, but not hot enough to kill all bacteria and viruse. For example legionella can thrive, and streptococcus, like tinea pedis and papilloma virus can be transmitted through feet.

I have seen shoppers remove all the plastic packaging at the bag packing area and leaving it for the shop to deal with. I am not sure of the legality of this practice? If it is possible and many people did so, it would send a clear message to the retailer about customer preferences.

I wonder if underground power supplies are safer in these situations than overhead ones?

Now that is what I call innovation! This could really see the Japanese economy start to boom again. More of the same please!

What sort of misinformation are we dealing with? What information is not being shared by regulated news outlets?

What a pathetic piece of journalism. Instead of fostering xenophobic sentiments, it should question the assumptions lamely trotted out here. There are so many holes in the story. Bullet climbing is criticised, but no reasons given, for example. These climbers may not pay for accommodation, but they might also have the least impact. Please use some critical thinking when writing articles rather than meekly repeating others.

Mosh pits?

Japan is destined to become a museum of the past if it cannot look forward.

Robots will take over the world!

Was she held nearly 40 days without any charge being brought?

It is regrettable, of course, and should not be forgotten. So to other camps, where survival rates were deliberately much worse, and treatment far more cruel.

Is true that there is 99% conviction rate in Japan?

It’s a film. I can’t judge the content of the film because I have been prevented seeing it. Let’s be able to watch the film and have an informed discussion about how it represents the history and the biases and falsehoods it offers.

What motivates high-school students to want to be able to speak English? Is it something real for them? Is there an international outlook that they buy in to?

So perhaps the newspaper needs to ask some questions to those who make these decisions to find out if Oppenheimer is being censored or not? If so, can we have a clear statement to explain that choice? Surely that is what journalism means, not just repeating content from other second-hand sources. Raise your game, please

Sometimes they are the only friendly face I see all day. I would miss the interaction if they were removed.

Great for boosting the carbon monoxide levels in your home and filling the air with cancer causing particulates. The old days sure were the best as it keeps you warm too until you turn stone cold.

Take a 20 metre length of string and simply throw your dirty pot into the ocean. Tie it to a nearby tree and leave overnight. In the morning it will be sparkling clean, or even better. Saves on detergent too.

These recipe articles are really weak! There was one a while back described as a life hack for cooking edamame in a microwave, instead of a pan. It was no simpler, as cooking edamame is a simple as it is possible to get anyway. This omelette is similar, it is just fried rice, no omelette at all. If it is not possible to do better than this, please do not bother.

If the hospital system in a country of this size is under strain by 20 admissions, building greater capacity in the system is surely needed.

I have been through Heathrow four times this last month and no evidence of issues. However, all four of my flights were cancelled by BA! As for staffing, there are no ticket counters in the airport any more. It is all online.

The US should refuse entry to Japanese students until American students and all other nations are allowed entry to Japan to study here.

The government is stuck - help it. If enough volunteers dropped out, then it would be impossible to hold the games.

Oh, classic!

Over 65s will be logging on to get those tickets - and of course health care workers who have such a lot a free time. It couldn’t be more laughable.

At the same time give visas for 90,000 ATHLETES, and deny visas to every other non-Japanese.

Don’t go, don’t watch. Let them run in the silence of the dead.

Enough complaining. Take some action!

If the population of Japan doesn’t want the games to take place, isn’t it quite able to take direct action to make it impossible to hold them?
