what better way to come out of the closet and surprise your buddies in the office...

why didnt the cops just drive thru/over the bikes and bill the fugitives later-or take it out of their hides.

looks like I'm the only one who gives a flying fig..australian grandmothers taking it up to the young chinese punks !!yeah !!!

poms got any medals yet ??

tkoind your 2nd and 3rd paragraph,to me,sounds exactly what the 'working team ' is endeavouring to do.Naturally if employers arent negotiable so that sons and daughters in A can conveniently visit parents in B its meaningless

tkoind2 where are you coming from?The plan is not to shorten holidays but to lengthen them.Talk to housewives and they'll tell you that the endless number of long weekends arent used optimally-so the govt's plan is to transfer them onto their longer vacation periods..how is it a cryptic system ?It seems they will be given an opportunity to take such holidays when it IS convenient for them and their employers..

better you have a toilet for number 2's only

why is he hiding his face ?

I'll have 10 bucks on china

whaling in japan is pocket money for the politicians,tokyo 2(greenpeace) need a platform to shout this to the uninformed or dont want to be informed public

if there could be a media campaign exposing the 'whale is our culture'spin that some powerful Japanese officials have cunningly used, to show the people their tax dollars are being used for the profit of others,whaling would be dead..right now the japanese people are being treated by their politicians like the proverbial mushroom..

Lets just take the Summer Olympic program outdoors and make them do it in the snow and on the ice..that would be true athleticism !The entire winter stuff is for girls and generally speaking women dont like watching sports..

no russian-latvia game ??? well thats unbelievable,would have had me pinned to my chair...

japanese tv is a product for the japanese...why would they program events for the foreigners living here ??and who cares about what we see and dont see in an all foreign (for us) medal ceremony...
