Yes, people love to bag the A380... but there they are, flying regularly if not with some teething issues. Sarge: You're correct. Not even a single test flight yet, so I imagine delivery is several years away. I bet a lot of Airbus airplanes will be sold until then.

Surely this is a new low for a "news" article... surely. I mean, name an individual who will be affected positively or negatively by this... "news".

Nice umbrellas, but better check with her first some14some. And what's with the repeating "money from Ward office" comments.

Oh yeah, they should buy Boeing Dreamliners... oh wait... they haven't even had a test flight yet. An Airbus A330 has crashed precisely once during commercial service. They are good machines, like it or not.

seesaw - you'd never heard of SHIHO before today, right?
She's an actual model, not a talent - a real catch for anyone, rich dudes included.

I'd marry SHIHO even if she was 40, let alone 30... My all-time fave J-supermodel.

"...a 4-season reimagining of the 1970s series about the battle between the forces of good (humans) and evil (Cylons) in outer space."
WRONG and WRONG. BSG is about what it means to be human - the human condition. Specifically labelling neither side as good or evil is a constant theme of the show.
Nessie: Give it a rest - the show wasn't cancelled. Sci-fi fans would be the first to admit it if it was true. Hundreds of precedents for that. And by the way - go back and watch the original BSG. It is so campy and amateur that you wouldn't last an episode. Yes, I used to watch it too.
BSG is one of the darkest dramas on TV at the moment. It may not be happy, but man is it good.

Here we go again... this has come up a few times on JT. You don't need to be in Japan for X years or anything like that. There are semi-automated machines in several train stations in Tokyo, at least, that will give you Saison cards in AMEX, MC or VISA flavours, in about an hour. You have to fill out a form, and have the machine scan your passport etc. The machine gives you a receipt which you use later to retrieve your card. Worked for me, and for some of the last batch of JT posters that asked the question. It's all in Japanese, of course, but what do you expect? Expecting to get a Credit Card in Japan using English is highly parochial and naive.
Google "SAISON CARD MAKER"

I am all against hunting whales for any purpose, but....
I admit that on one drunken final feast before I left Japan we ordered a whale steak at an Izakaya under the tracks somewhere in central Tokyo and.. and... I'm sorry but it was delicious. Just like a soft, juicy and quite rare steak.
Some other of the old-school JT posters were with me. You know who you are...
While the story horrifies friends and family back home, I think I have a better position to argue for it.

Thanks for the link to the large pics. Lovely models, if a bit randomly posed. And yes Koda Kumi has tree stumps for legs...
