    Errr...so whats the name of this Panasonic bike? This point seems quite important and missing from this article.

    One hot summers day a few years ago I went into a local fast food restaurant (or was it a coffee shop, I forget) in Meguro and ordered a large orange juice only to be told they do not serve large size orange juice, even though sitting on the counter in front of me was both large and small size disposable cups. I then said I will pay double for a large one...of course the answer was no. After a few snide comments from me, and out of frustration I ordered two small cups of orange juice. When they arrived I grabbed one of the large empty cups, and stood at the counter glaring at the shop assistant as I poured both small cups into the large cup....needless to say I was fuming. I hate how inflexible things can be here.

    Personal (home) computers...basically 35 only years old.

    I often find it strange to meet people only 5 years younger than I who never got to experience the heady days when the first home computers started to hit the market in about 1977.

    I have often thought about blocking exhaust pipes with oranges or bananas! That'll stop the engines pretty quickly. Unfortunately I never have such fruit available at the time.

    No mention of where we can get these yellow cards. It would be great if they were available and could be printed from a web page somewhere.

    I can't see anything in my post that says that I believe this cold snap had anything to do with climate change with respect to human related activities. All I was stating was that we started spewing stuff into our atmosphere in great quantities starting in the 18th century, so give or take 50 years probably doesn't make a massive difference either way. So, in fact, I'm in agreement in that this cold spell is probably not so unusual considering the long term cyclic patterns of extreme weather.

    Yeah, she was bleeding from the face quit a lot. I read in one report that the attacker had been dumped by a guy, and wanted some kind of random revenge. When I saw her she was actually quite sad looking, held up against the garage door looking quite ferlorn. I was quite surprised when I realized that she was the attacker.

    After hearing screaming and racing outside, my wife and I were the 3rd people on the scene. The knife lay on the ground, another woman was helping the victim (who was screaming a lot), and our next door neighbor had the attacker (a small woman) cornered by his garage. The victim was actually an old friend of my wife's that lived 4 houses down the street. She was bleeding quite a lot from her face, and leaving red puddles in the rain. The police arrived about 4 mins later.
