Really? Ever seen the results of cars hitting camels or horses? It is not pretty, the sucker does not go over the car, it takes out the screen, roof and passengers.

The "life" sentence was, I think, inevitable. Let's hope he does the decent thing and commits suicide.

And, like the UK, Australia has made the mistake of letting too many Muslims in and has failed to keep them in check after they arrived.

Sressed? Of course we were stressed after that 'quake, the aftershocks were often only minutes apart for a week, the shops were empty of some necessities, transport was disrupted and the spectre of a nuclear meltdown was hanging over us. Stupid question. Concentration, efficiency, motivation? See above. Support from company? No problems for me and none that I saw anywhere else. And, why did their companies send them on a stress managment course? Is that not supporting them? Negative impact on business? I can't believe that 40% of the people asked felt that there would be a positive impact on their business.
So, after the course they had a better understanding of what was stressing them and how to deal with it. Money well spent just to explain the obvious? Or good marketing by Dale Carnegie.

That place is a basket case and always will be. Get the soldiers out of there, seal the borders, make sure they have lots of ammunition and let them get on with it by themselves.

Seems like she got in there sooner than his so-called professional bodyguards. Good job the guy didn't have a gun (or maybe not 'good job', depending on your point of view).

Did Sasaki san really say "We were gutted"? I assume he was speaking Japanese at the time so,to whoever is doing the translation, can we aspire to a better standard of English please? Perhaps "extremely disappointed".

US remakes of classic films don't have, in my view, a history of success. Think e.g. - Italian Job and Day of the Jackal. Still, mustn't prejudge, let's wait and see.

Congratulations Japan on winning the Ladies FOOTBALL World Cup.
Anyone care to speculate on the result of a game between the Japanese men's team and the Japanese ladies' team? That would be interesting and I would give the ladies an even chance.

Sad indeed. Stupid arrogant behaviour which despite what some people say, is uncommon; if it was we would be reading this story every day. Should not generalise on age though, plenty of over 70s are good drivers, as good as they were when they were your age :-) Lack of skid marks? Virtually every car these days has ABS, no skidmarks because the brakes don't lock up.

Insulting my ass! It is a nice gesture, no more no less and better than many of the other fans, posters etc. that one see around.
Pity about the spelling mistake though :-)
