Ha ha, the kids and I were in Toyko recently and while I forget which line we were on, as the problem was widespread, we thought the conductor was making an announcement in Chinese, it was so bad.

Yes Abbey, a recording. By me.

Gygene, are you opposed to hemp?

To all of you American Trump supporters. The whole world thinks you're mad. Juss sayin'.

I dislike fangs on humans, but obviously fake coloured straight teeth are less impressive.

It seems Japanese crematoriums don't employ a cremulator thus the bones remain largely intact.

The laws pertaining to the responsibility of a body and the funeral industry need an overhaul. They don't cater to the needs, wishes or budgets of a huge number of people.

I'm not keen on a partner who's too kneedy in the bedroom...

Thanks Stewart Gale. I'm glad my theory was more or less correct. I don't have so much info available.

And if I read between the lines, they've been busted because a taxi driver has spotted the evidence in Kabashima's wallet.

You do realise that this employee hasn't committed suicide, he has died trying to do the right thing however mistaken he was. It simply seems to have been a wholly preventable accident. RIP.

It is amazing that no-one else died, and only 33 injured out of about 500 on the train, plus onlookers, local residents, etc...

Good luck indeed.

Any word of when we ought to learn of their findings?

Apart from a scheduling disruption to which I was agreeable, my surgical experience was sweet.

@ rainyday, those houses you speak of are not so close to a station, or a market, or maybe even a gas station, and you'll need a parking spot near the station, and a car for the missus/master...

and the houses have zero creature comforts. No aircon, just cold n mould.

When I stuck my head under the noren of a place in Kita-Senju years ago, the cook and staff of the up market Izakaya were chasing a rat through the place. It was funny as hell to see them pretend it didn't happen.

A non-news story. Have you seen the rat populations in the cities?

Thanks for your insight, Ricky.

In the pen for ten days for suspicion of physical assault... Now dead?

Do you know what's in those safes, Kenji? I'm sure they contain lots of, ahem, stuff.

"Takatsuki Mayor Takeshi Hamada announced earlier this month that all concrete block walls at city-run facilities will be removed within several years"

I'm glad there's no immediate threat.

So, we are, from April, going to be more at risk of being a stabbing victim while waiting to be screened outside the station than on the train. Same crazies, subtly different location.

Commiserations to his family. Karma to him.

Would it be reported if the son had down syndrome?, otherwise I find it hard to see how a man of that age could take out a 19 year old. Oh to have more details...

I'd hate to be in a Donki if a fire broke out.

Ha ha... kids!

The way I read it is, he is probably dead. What is unclear is, was it ultimately at his own hand or did an F-15 get a missile off?

No hate dude, but children have been born in less than tents for millennia. Don't use her as your excuse to not camp.

It's a wheel bummer when you're flat out and under the pump. It's easy to get jacked off. Just brace yourself and roll with it. I bet the culprit(s) need their ego inflated.

So, one buys a knife at the local department store, and has to catch a taxi home or risk the threat of being arrested if catching a train? Ridiculous.

A pissed off citizen.

How about using your influence to improve mental health services in your own country, for starters.

Oh, sorry for dreaming.

Edit: absolutely nothing.

Thats a bit rich, Ebisen. There is close to nothing that I could have done. Maybe you know more about oldman than I do.
