Posted in: Swarms of tourists causing crisis for Mount Fuji See in context

Climbed it thirty-two years ago. Once is definitely enough!

Being overrun with gangs of thrill-seeking tourists makes Fuji-San something of a bellwether for the entire nation….

@piskian

To be fair, the quotation doesn’t say “foreign” anywhere.

That’s only introduced afterwards, by JT.

But being brought up in the West and absorbing the values of that part of the world will turn you into a Westerner… No matter how dark your hair or how round your nose….

Wise words.

Exactly the type of level-headed contribution needed when the pitchfork-wielding mob get all riled up….

Give it ten, twenty years and these people will be being lynched by desperate, heat-crazed mobs.

Not something I hope for, or enjoy contemplating, just a prediction….

Clever marketing.

It's increased my wish to visit Tokushima 200 times.

200 X 0 = 0

Well done, Hammers.

Hope it’s enough to convince people that Moyes should stay.

Sheffield Wednesday players… had a half day off on Wednesdays….

Yep. And they were a cricket team for years before they got into football.

@Clippety

Cheers!

To be honest we’ve ridden our luck a bit much recently… Coming up from League 2 after finishing sixth, and “winning” League 1 after the season was abandoned because of Covid.

We were due a setback!

Good luck to Luton, though….

Posted in: Japan says it will destroy any North Korean missile that violates its territory See in context

So what’s the message to North Korea?

Don’t you dare act like a civilised country and warn your neighbours about a satellite launch… keep it to yourselves!

Seems a bit like a step in the wrong direction by the government here….

Happy for Jimizo that the Blue Scouse stayed up.

My mate back in England’s a big Leeds fan, though, so it’s not all great.

Wish it had been Bournemouth instead, or Chelsea….

Posted in: Natto: You either love it or hate it See in context

Dunno… I was lucky enough to eat it before hearing anything about it, so I had no expectations either way.

Thought it was okay… Nothing to write home about, nothing to cross the street to avoid. Still feel the same, thirty-odd years later.

My dullness is even boring myself : )

Provided it’s not costing the tax-payer a single yen, then good luck to her.

Every unelected, private citizen has the right to travel wherever they wish.

Can’t understand why anyone would want to read about it, though….

Posted in: Politics, cash, fame: What motivates climate change deniers See in context

How is it “leftist” to work to mitigate the effects of climate change?

Seems that some folk regard any attempt to do anything that isn’t directly related to the screwing of yet more money out of the planet and the people who inhabit it is somehow morally questionable.
