Jeeves and Wooster, Blackadder, A Country Practice, All Creatures Great and Small, Lost in Space, Columbo, The High Chaparral, Fawlty Towers, Brideshead Revisited, Keeping Up Appearances. The best? Probably Jeeves and Wooster where Hugh Laurie is sublime as Bertie Wooster.

Oh dear, oh dear, the truth hurts doesn't it? Otherwise why so angry? Maybe George Michael has coloured my vision somewhat but gays have to face up to the fact that there's isn't the only agenda in town. There are lots of sexual preferences. Some do more harm than others.

Pukey2 The fact that he's going to spend a part of his life looking for partners in outside tiolets is HIS problem. The fact that 90% of people believe what he is doing is unnatural is a problem. I know that's not what statistics show but statistics are made up by trendy intellectuals bent on being PC.

KyotoChris On the spot. Methink the lady doth protest too much (sic). If you have 90% of the media on your side plus a total monolopy on truth and suffering it must get quite boring after a while.

The pertinent question is 'where's the money?' Who profited from the 'Manhatten Project' and all the nuclear devices made since? And I'm sure Harry S got a nice payoff.

'Motoyuki Tamaki is 29 and a resident of Kakamigahara City in Gifu.' So now we know. And what did he do? Did he murder, rape, assault, abuse ... No, he actually caressed some woman's underwear. If that's news this is a great country.

Sorry. Didn't realise this was a PC discussion. Will be more careful in future.

Problem like 'Do I shoot him?' or 'Will I just go to Chile?' Because 5%(?) are born that way doesn't take the problem away.

"Homosexuality as a perfectly acceptable way of life and not a problem" For some reason if my son came up to me and told me he was gay I would have a problem. Am I alone in this?

The Manhattan Project cost a lot of money. ($2 billion at the time) Also the fact that Truman was a serious freemason should not be discounted in all of this. ("Brother and President Truman was made a Sovereign Grand Inspector General, 33°, and Honorary Member, Supreme Council on October 19,1945") I don't think there was ever a possibility of Russia invading Japan. The deal was already done. We'll have Japan, you (Russians) can have Eastern Europe. It has to be said that when you see what the Russians did in East Germany at the end of the war the Japanese got off quite lightly.

Women wearing trousers in public! It's about time something was done about it. Where will this lead to? Men wearing dresses and other such horrors. 40 lashes. It's extreme but what can you do?

Has the Simon Wiesenthal Center ever had a go at Ford, the company that financed Hitler? Just wondering.

“This is the worst attack ever against the gay community in Israel”. 2 dead, could be worse, could be a lot better.

sushitune. Lighten up. There's fantastic Japanese people and terrible ones just like anywhere else. The author's title is just to boost sales. And if smoking cigarettes is the worst thing they do then we can all sleep safely.

Why not go to Chile instead? Wine, women and song and the dreadful stigma avoided.

Almost 100 a day. And Mr.Shimizu blames the government. Why not name Aso and be done with it. He's to blame for everything else. Suicide is so final.

"The person with such an infectious disease must wear torn clothes, let his hair be unkempt, cover the lower part of his face and cry out, 'Unclean! Unclean!'" So it says in the Bible. That was leprosy of course but smoking is the modern leprosy. The three are asking for a total of 30 million yen. Why? Who forced them or their unfortunate relatives to smoke? Despite what we hear there are worse things than smoking. Sure it's bad for you. But so is breathing, alcohol, baseball ... And there are worse things. For me it's one of the few positive things about Mr. Obama. Makes him seem almost human.

1,600,000,000. That's a lot of murders. One every second. If she'd had an abortion there'd be no problem, would there?

Oh to be in Royal Lytham. Take it easy Ai. Pressures off and even if you miss the cut we don't mind. It'll mean a lot less drinking to do for one thing.

If you want to know about over-priced check out Dublin some time. Cigarettes and whiskey are 3 times the price they are in Tokyo. And that's all that matters really ... So if you're really rich you holiday in Ireland ...
