Trapped comments

Imagine for a moment that you are poor Kuroki, in your little sedan, parked nose in between a highace and an elgrande, that weren't there when you parked up. You start reversing out slowly and you hear/feel a slight bump.

Imagine for a bit longer that you are a mum walking through the carpark, bub strapped to your front thereby creating a minor blindspot as you crane your head to talk to your precious cargo. The next thing you know, your knees has been taken out and you collapse on the ground on top of baby...

There was no malicious intent and you could easily transpose someone from any gender or age into this position. Unfortunate all round. RIP little one.

I'm sure the local surfers are elated that it 'ended safely'.

Perhaps it's time for Japan to treat alcohol the same way as other recreational drugs. Didn't think so.

It was the discovery that my hard-earned plasma was being sold with no compensation for me other than a cookie that stopped me from making any more donations.

There's another one to add to the 'dangerous creatures of Australia' list.

RIP fellow mariners.

No link to highlights?

Or buy a raincoat and stay dry.

Available in two sizes- not big enough and nowhere near big enough.

Step one, wear your helmet like you want it to save your life, not look 'cool' on your corpse.

Garypen, now you've got me interested in his employed status.

I'm willing to suggest that two isn't even the actual number of incidents. He should swing as an example to other cops.

It's a good idea. Now if they can only prevent the sound of screaming kids from entering the restricted zone...

I'm not sure that the starving masses are impressed.

It turns out her husband was hospitalised last year and placed in a coma after becoming very ill. She's clearly tried this before.

"Police said they are questioning the victim about any possible reason why her acquaintance stabbed her."

I feel doubly sorry for her having to endure both the stabbing and the J cop inquisition.

0.019grams? That sounds like half a seed. You know you can buy hemp seeds to feed your budgie with? Maybe some spec of a leaf had blown through his window and landed in his dorm. The 'stimulants' on the other hand? Not cool.

At least the clerk didn't let him leave the store then call the cops claiming that the customer had stolen the beer. No receipt to prove his purchase.

Those Taipans have had a lot of issues. R.I.P.

They'll get their comeuppance in prison. Oh, hang on...

Dr Maybe, you nailed it!

^^^yes but they have been beyond the reach of many creative minded companies. Perhaps this will allow some amazing innovations to be achieved. Kudos to Michelin Japan I say.

This is great news! We can now stop wasting valuable land farming non-THC mullies. Bring on the psycho-buds!

How about no release at all and make TEPCO pay for the more expensive non release option!

"And what would that option be? Building more tanks is not an option, the towns of Okuma and Futaba won't have any of that."

Sacrifice those two towns in order to spare the health of the worlds' oceans to be on the safe side.

One wonders where Roy lives. And What he eats. And what his extracurricular activities are.

Then you should know that Japan is a haven for stolen and looted works.

Shame on you Japan.

If only swimming schools in Japan focused on teaching kids to swim instead of just taking in as much money as possible for as long as possible...

The old phrase I've heard about climbing Mt.Fuji: You're mad if you don't climb it once and crazy if you climb it twice. I'll just look at the pictures, thanks.

@ garypen

We wish that were true...

^^^ and it wouldn't be so bad if these homes were near efficient public transportation, but they often aren't which creates traffic problems for a great many people .

Nice try, but if it isn't never ending soba, it's not wanko soba. Simple.

It tastes great! My family have gone off pork sausages after being introduced to 'roo.
