That's it folks, they're screwed because they're gaijin.

And here was me thinking they were screwed because they were drug smuggling criminals.

Silly me, they don't have a chance because of the colour of their skin and their nationality. And the fact they were caught with x kg of illegal…

So travelling from another country where they speak a foreign language and use different currency is the same as travelling within a state because of the approximate time it takes to travel.

Are you a poster boy for the US education system or something?

Given the yen/pound exchange at the…

Any Brit who gets riled by that clearly thinks we're back in the 19th century and have the only train in the train in the world. The British train system is an absolute disgrace.

And you have a couple of extra days off then? What happened to needing to beat…

So if you're your own boss then you're allowed flexi time? Or you could always take the earlier train on Monday morning IF it is that much of an issue.

So are you suggesting that people wear sensible shoes for the occasional time that trains are stopped? Or should all…

JR has become nothing short of a crap shoot... you take your chances with both timeliness and safety

Get a slip from the man at the booth and you're late with your companies blessing. And I'd be really interested to know how you think JR is unsafe.

Brilliant. Of all the reasons to call Japan not developed, go for the trains.

Of course the fact that this is actually news shows just how efficient the JR network is. In the UK, as I'm sure it is in many other countries, it's newsworthy when trains run on time.…

You're right. Japan should stop the charade of research. And pull out of the IWC. And kill as many whales as they want.

Everyone's happier.

That's because with the obvious exception of Cleo, no-one has a clue what they're talking about. Opinions have been formed without bothering to understand the situation.

. What if every one of the 200 sovereign countries and states decided to take 1500 whales a year for scientific purposes and actively encourage their peoples to eat or sell the meat?

Which is the exact point of the IWC, to ensure that whales are not overfished to extinction.…

Well you can't argue with your maths.

Unless of course the figure of 3,000 is one that you've just snatched from thin air. Which it clearly is.

So yes, if the Japanese take 1/3 of the whale population then the Minki (new species, discovered today) will die out.

Of course…
