Getting married to a Pachinko boss whilst wearing an Uno Kanda designed dress? Class isn`t exactly the word that comes to mind! What next? Does Friday magazine have exclusive rights to the wedding pics?

‘‘Please come and see us at the theater if you come to Japan,’’ the members said in unison to spectators

I know the Japanese groups love saying these kinds of messages in unison. It`s usually easier to understand though, if just one person delivered the message.

Come on everyone! Let`s all stand in a long line and then pay too much for a beer!

I have seen a lot of good teachers get reamed. The bad ones will put up with anything because many of them are drunks and drifters.
