  NorthLondon, the UK has not excluded baseball, the IOC has dropped it. The London committee is doubtless thrilled due to the problems of organising the tournament in a non-baseball country, but that's by the by.

  Greensatindress, that's about as sexist as the whole royal family nonsense - if she wanted to use her diplomatic skills abroad why didn't she BECOME (or continue her career as) a diplomat is surely the appropriate question.

  Gavin is absolutely right. Baker may or may not be innocent but his story that he was visiting Japan for a pre-world cup tour of stadiums is the least convincing thing I've ever heard. When he said that I automatically assumed that he was lying.

  They're just trying to make peace with the Japanese public eye, I think.

  I already posted to this effect once, but if you've seen one of these "badges" then you'll have a lot more sympathy for these women. All this talk of the language issue is a red herring - of course it's unreasonable to expect the police to speak fluent English, but…
