If Pakistan or Afghanistan go down the tube - it will be because of Obama.

a ridiculous statement for so many reasons. read the post above yours for some of them

I'm sure Cleo will any minute

take a leaf from my book and not care about anyone in your office at all. no-one has annoyed me at work for years

I hope they dont collide into one another. I recommend the 2 Captains maintain constant radio contact to prevent such an occurence

she should poach the fish, drizzle with a citrus based sauce and serve the chips with a sprig of parsley and a light vinaigrette. only then is fish and chips an acceptable form of cuisine.

cutting edge entertainment news

I wonder what they'll talk about at the expo? probably just a high pitched shrill

The Dark Crystal

this drink has been around for years, not 'new'

Asked about her private life, Shinohara said she has never been so happy.

too happy to wear a wedding ring.

I think she's desperate because she's passed 30 and has to marry/bear children, to please her parents and society, because all J women are required to do so. Many former models at my workplace ended up marrying salarymen because they simply have to get married. No Doctors, Lawyers, or Businessmen are around for them to date/get married to anymore....once they passed a certain standard age, eventhough they were once 'famous models'.... This is Japan!

I think you all missed the point...what I was trying to say is that, under normal circumstances, a J woman especially a model would only be looking for a rich man to marry. Comfortable future. The rich J men are not marrying a 32-year old. They would rather marry younger ones. Plenty of them around. SHIHO sounds desperate to me, because she's marry a Judo Dude who may be famous, but how much money does he have?

it's certainly your idea of something, not quite sure what though...but if it makes you sleep better at night to keep everything in tidy little boxes with all the little J men and J women doing what you expect them to then good luck to you.

Chow Yun Fat is a legend but with that moustache he looks a right twat. looks like my old woodwork teaher

I reckon these two policemen were a right pair of twats

how long do you recommend a couple date before marriage? anything under 2 years too desperate? over 31 years old too desperate? please advise

hahaha, no he won't.

JT distinguishing between celebrity, personality and talent I see. explain

the problem is not primarily with the Japanese language, the problem is with Aso being an idiot

“I want to find the mixture point between design, fashion, art and economics,” Fujiwara said, as he sketched a Venn diagram with circles representing the different fields. “This is where I want to be,” he said, filling in the tiny slice where the circles overlapped.

wow, a true visionary. the new rennaisance must be just around the corner

hustla. not very classy.

I remember after a nasty messy bout of underage drinking my mother telling me 'you won't do that again in a hurry' guess I didnt party as hard as this poor lad because I did, he won't.

they are great. very nice all round

will she get em oot for tha lads?

Some tabloid media reported that the reason was differing opinions on their musical direction.

Chage was wanted to pursue the "bland and hackneyed" avenue of songwriting and fought bitterly with Aska who was committed to a more "absolute rubbish" artistic bent.

The storekeeper called police after suspecting they were shoplifting

2 foreigners in a shop. of course they were shoplifting. what a fine diligent upstanding member of the retail community.

pfffft skylark...if it's not people coughing all over the salad bar it's 20 man western saloon style brawls.

the option for individuals to move eh? basically another lame 'love it or leave' it answer.

yeah, 1/4 of the population move to Hokkaido. nice plan. and Hokkaido DOES have cedar kafunsho

why do the people who don't pay the bulk of the taxes (children and old folk) get more?

because the old folk with the minds of children who designed this stupid scheme have a unique empathic link with them

relocate to where? overseas? cedar trees cover a significant percentage of the country, and regrow quickly .Cutting them down is impossible though sleazebag Ishihara made a similar pledge in his manifesto for election.

WTF? 12,000 yen is three hours pay for a salaryman? I guess this is the case if you consider those folks handing out tissue on street corners "salarymen."

do you really believe they make 4,000 an hour handing out tissues?

I think masks should be banned because they make criminals escape from police easily. If a person is so ill that he might spread the disease, he should stay at home or at hospital.

hahahahahaha, clueless
