My New Year Resolution is to be less patient with halfwits and nitwits.

I think the word "nonsensical" has been omitted from this sentence.

I hope Blondie six rows back on the right gets plenty of happiness this year. I could let her have some if she's running low.

Does anyone know where I can find a link to King's interview with Sinatra? I can only find about 35 seconds of it, which seems a sinful waste.

Two thumbs up for the perennial Magic Boots, which make even plain birds worth an ogle from the waist down.
Although there was one in Kita Senju last night who should have been arrested on a charge of Impersonating An Attractive Bird. I felt quite cheated when she turned round.

This is one of the sexiest women in the entertainment field in this benighted land. Actually, let me rephrase that. Amuro Namie and Meisa Kuroki are the only entertainers who act like women rather than little girls, and they both provoke untrammeled tumescence.
Long may she continue to do so.

I thought that was Audrey Hepburn? Nowhere else seems to give a monkey's about Roman Holiday, but here it's some kind of religion.

spike - I think dishdash was forgetting about the fact that Japan is the last place on earth this film is going to be shown. A full five months after it was released everywhere else in the world. We're expected to believe that Japan's the only place that needs subtitles.

Hmmmm - that has to be a good sign. People drinking 10% more whisky - what possible downside could there be?

Good old British Bobbies.
Brazilian bloke going to work? EIGHT bullets through the head at point blank range, summary execution at point blank range, after permitting him to get on the train they erroneously believed he was aiming to blow up.
Heir to the Throne? Right this way sir, follow the chants.
I guarantee you that whichever dolt let this occur will face no more accountability for his actions than did the unnamed officer who executed De Menezes. Some poor student will probably be put in the frame for the paint and bust window, and have his life ruined whether or not he was responsible, but whoever put Prince Charles in danger will never even be named.
And where's the money coming from to fix the Roller and to bullet-proof all Royal vehicles in the light of this farce? From the pinched wallets of the taxpayer, making the cuts in the education budget that little bit more inevitable.
This shambles makes my blood boil.

soreleftarm - I salute you for your self control. Under that kind of provocation, I imagine most male passengers (although I guess you're female - bullies of this ilk seldom try anything on if they're of an inkling there might be a two-way fracas) would have twatted the deranged old twonk until he regained his grip on reality.
But isn't this typical of the doublethink? Shrieking, spitting and assault of somebody who's minding their own business is viewed as an appropriate response to a perceived infringement of manners.
I hope you shaft the old get for every yen of his pension.

John Lennon Super Live
I can't help but think they should have substituted the word "Concert" here, as an event to commemorate the 30th anniversary of someone's death.

Ludicrous. If this had been two rancid old beldames screeching and so-desu-neing at each other that would have been entirely acceptable. Some buffoon hits the emergency button because someone else is on the phone and 70 thousand people are delayed - because two blokes were not showing consideration to other passengers? What a farce.
Don't come the pacemaker line - that's demonstrably false.
And don't justify it on grounds of courtesy to other passengers until the benches for seven people are not taken up by five or six spread out and pretending not to notice that other people want to sit down. Every single bloody day. When elderly people or pregnant women are offered a seat routinely, then we can talk about courtesy.
When it's not the filthy gaijin who's the first person to offer rudimentary courtesy to a fellow passenger in need, we can discuss courtesy.
When they will keep their fingers out of their effing noses in public, we can discuss courtesy.
When they don't need special seats marked out for good manners - and in which even then they refuse to show courtesy - we can talk about courtesy.
This phone usage bolleaux is a canard, leapt on by borderline OCD arseholes as a woeful offence, when there are truly grotesque acts of babyish bad manners going on all around.
Whoever pushed the button (and let's face it - it was one of our revered elders) should have his poster in every station, with the legend beneath "If you see this person, tell him he is an arse"

I nearly bought a Kindle last year, but then I noticed that the new version was released immediately after Christmas. I don't think the books on my shelf were made with built-in obsolescence.
