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.

Agreed to all of the above re: wastefulness in Japanese society, but it's far from alone. And to be honest, 2.7 tonne doesn't seem such a huge amount considering this is nationwide, presumably, over a season. I'm sure other food processors and retailers would throw away more, and for the whole year.

Indeed Atari. if you have the confidence, and the ability to stay awake, a front seat on these buses could be a lifesaver for everyone on board.

^^^^And there it is. Total disregard of one's health. Seems very Japanese to dismiss what can't be seen.

I was led to believe that 0.00 was the legal limit.

I love it! Lighten up Luddite, it's a fun bag FCS!

What was he "in" for?, What is he capable of?

You're right Goodluck, it sure seems to have changed this woman's life, yet look at the positives changes that she tries to pry out her horrendous experience. Good luck to her, and may she find happiness in her life.

Nice observation, SumoBob!

But maybe there's a business opportunity for a fella to do various half hour shadow performances and sell them to the needy!

But but but, what about the huge underground flood reservoir?
