    You won't hardly see any television shows from outside Japan that are subbed rather than dubbed.

    You obviously don't have cable TV. Most shows are shown in subtitled versions (and dubbed versions too).

    Definitely one of the greats although for many the lovely sound of Paul Desmond's Alto was perhaps the most appealing aspect of the Dave Brubeck Quartet.

    Listened to "Jazz Impressions of Japan" this morning. That is a beautiful album I would recommend to everyone here.

    Single men don't live as long as married ones

    Scrote, it just doesn't seem as long.

    Went to Rick's in Casablanca a couple of years ago, excellent club that really evokes the movie. Very interesting walk from downtown through the medina to reach it.

    The Uk does not need any new nuclear power plants to meet its demand. They can buy power from the French. I don't think there are even any British owned power companies left?

    Scottish & Southern Energy (SSE) are still British owned.

    It is for this reason that a prostitute will often forbid her customer from kissing her. She sees sexual intercourse as mechanical and detached but draws the line at kissing due to its highly charged, emotional and personal nature

    Certainly not true in Asia where the emphasis is on 'the girlfriend experience'.

    If we take gold=3pts silver=2pts bronze=1pt, would that mean Japan (66 pts) had more success than South Korea (62 pts) this time around

    No, because all that counts is the official medal table. GB finished 3rd, South Korea 5th and Japan 11th.

    I used to ride on a track with some of those keirin guys. In a sprint, they will blow anyone away - never seen anything like them

    Not been watching the British cycling team then?

    Sir Chris Hoy won Gold in the mens keirin and Kazunari Watanabe finished 11th.

    What a pleasant surprise it would be as a man to come across them on a hot day in Tokyo!

    I too would like to come across them.

    And good on Japan for being 3rd in the medal standings.

    9th actually (using the official table where number of golds count first).

    This is not a ranking for normal people; i have only ever met one person in Tokyo who spent more than 130,000 a month on rent

    Everyone I know in Tokyo spends more than 130,000 yen per month in rent. Most pay twice this amount or more. I assume you are a student.

    Dortmund is not a big club!? News to me. Their stadium capacity of 80,000 is bigger than United's, and its almost always full

    Dave, this is true, Dortmund is 1st and Manchester United 3rd when it comes to highest average attendances in Europe. More important though are the total revenue rankings and on Forbes 2012 list United are 1st with $532 million while Dortmund are 14th with $197 million (United's valuation is also 6 times that of Dortmund).

    Anyone who travels much in Asia will realize how massive the Manchester United brand is. Dortmund hardly register a blip.

    Natto is safer than aspirin or rat poison.

    But unfortunately not as tasty.

    Some experts have stated that by 2030, India will be the world's leading economy ahead of America, China, Japan and probably Brazil will be in second place.

    Not quite. According to IMF projections by 2030 China will have the largest GDP closely followed by the US with India a distant third, Japan fourth and Brazil seventh. Even by 2050 the US is still forecast to be slightly ahead of India with Brazil having the fourth largest GDP and Japan the eighth.
