Why steal the till and the key?

Why not unlock it take just the money?

My uncle’s a Spurs fan.

Got to hate the Gooners, on principle!

Did you use to have a different online name? More Crystal Palace-related?

In Japan you do not ride your bicycles on the sidewalk when people are walking.

Chuffed for Everton (and Jimizo!) They had a lot going against them this season.

Sad for Sheff Utd, though; Wednesday aren’t completely safe, either, in the Championship….

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….

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.

@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….
