Let me be one to say that I would welcome a lost decade. I
m a little tired of reading about young westerners running amuck on boozey overseas trips, or people going on spending binges beyond their limit. While Im not a flag waving "back-to-basics" conservative, I think the consumerism tsunami certainly needs this kind of check. Perhaps with a little less money in the economy, the "Buy Local" conscience will spread further, with more focus being placed on what local producers, and the local scene in general, have to offer.Posted in: Is a global lost decade on the cards?

That`s right! Ask to reserve a table at a restaurant for Christmas lunch. The employee will turn to the 24th first.

Sad to hear. But what a legacy. Now that I think about the movies in which he stars, there`s not a dud amongst them.

Certainly reads like a success story. Although, I kind of prefer it when JT run stories on people who are legends in their own lunchtime. This Greg Story article just highlights the gap between people like him and myself!

Was it in their contracts that they had to stay and watch the movie, or did they have to reluctantly leave early due to other commitments?

What I love about this news is that the perv gets all aroused by the girl in her uniform; his imagination running wild. While the girl is on another wavelength entirely; listening to some excremental J-pop or trying to decide which flavour of pockys she`ll buy at the conbini.

It`s not outdated, although sometimes when I try to show such courtesy here I get a look of contempt. The pregnant women certainly appreciate it though.

Perhaps, in order to show solidarity with deaf people, SPEED could simply dance and pretend to sing for a few minutes. That way viewers at home will be able to gain some kind of understanding of what it
s like to be deaf. Im sure that whatever they do will be a welcome break from the galaxy of B-grade idols that`ll be appearing. What price the nandedarou boys rocking up again?Posted in: Pop group 'SPEED' to reunite for NTV's 24-hour TV
