I think I need to start getting some freelance work that pays in dollars, not Japanese funny money.

Come on attempted murder?

Yes. It should be an instant attempted murder charge.

Perdue? Sounds like a loser........

Out of the frying pan, into the fire.

Similar in that it will flop at the box office and the star will have to slap Chris Rock?

I currently wear a mask with a Moomin design on it.

I have three of them.

Religion by and large is a good thing,

I beg to differ/

One of Japan's saving graces is the lack of religion.

Could not agree more.

Yeah, it should be red coats for surgeons, yellow for urologists and brown for proctologists.

The Russian people aren’t walking around naked. They can get along for a while without buying more plastic clothes from China.

Exactly! What a ridiculous argument. I guess Uniqlo's logo is red for a reason ;)

My family can’t visit.

And why is that?

That's like a 2.7% annual raise applied retroactively over the last ten years.

I'll use that to try and convince my boss.....

Great news!

Coupled with NIF, ITER, and what the South Koreans and Chinese have been doing, we might finally move from fusion being in a perpetual state of being 30 years away, to being actually 10 years away.

I still say we build loads of mini thorium reactors as a stopgap until then.

I will see it, no doubt, but not actively watch it.

Good. I have zero interest in any of their silly products.

Vax or no Vax, we are all humans and we all deserve to be respected.

Tell that to the virus.

Japan is like light years behind other advanced countries with respect to COVID decisions.

And light years behind in fatalities too.

My wife was nibbling on one the other night while we were watching TV.

According to Japanese news sources, the head and arms were also found, but the legs are still out there.....

The man is thought to have been killed over 3 months ago.

RIP

I remember wanting to see “The Last Picture Show” in the 80s because I kinda fancied Cybill Shepherd at the time.

How much money does he think the average Internet cafe (in 2022) has in the till?

Hopefully, the prefix "former" will also be appended to his wife and girlfriend.

Saw this in in the cinema, twice.

One of the things that brought me to Japan.

The only thing I think is weird about Christmas in Japan is the obsession with eating KFC

It is no more stupid than insisting on eating turkey.

Bet you don't even know when and why people started guzzling it.

Hint: The answer isn't Israel, in the year 1 AD.

My wife and I both had two shots of the Pfizer and experienced zero pain or side effects.

How much do these "wealthy" people actually spend in Japan.

How many typical tourists are they equivalent to? Ten? Fifty?

What luxuries are they spending their cash on in Japan?

Plenty of sites where you can stream it without a VPN. I do when I’m in Japan, so it’s all good.

Figures......

Working for a living.

Paucity of ambition has to be another contributing factor :)

How is this even judged?
