    I'd like to see them confiscate the umbrellas many cyclists use in the rain. Those people are wobbling all over the place.

    The Ikawa family are the majority shareholder in Daio, so in fact it is the father of the thief Mototaka Ikawa who is punishing his employees for giving money to his son. Where is the father's responsibility? Will he discipline himself, or stick to blaming others? Note that the Ikawa family refuse to sell their shares to make good the loss incurred by their thieving relative.

    There are many cheaper, basic places to stay in Zao village. It's quite a good ski area, although all too often when I've been a blizzard turns up. Better to go later in the season when the snowfall has eased off.

    It has the potential to be a lovely place but, as usual in Japan, the village is full of decrepit eyesores. The last few times I've been we booked day trips from Sendai on the coach (Y3000 return).

    I wonder if the Greeks will actually do what they promise. They would be better off out of the Euro.

    If Argentina hadn't started up the belligerent rhetoric over the past couple of years it's likely there would still only be a token defence force in the Falklands.

    Besides, unless Argentina is worried that the British are planning to invade or attack Argentina I don't see what business it is of theirs what goes on in the Falklands.

    It's time Microsoft allowed the user to select the OS language when logging in, like you can do on Linux and OSX. I think only the most expensive version of Windows allows that at the moment?

    Noda should come up with a clear plan and write up the legislation to implement it. Then it can be put to a vote. It's not necessary for the opposition to be involved in drafting legislation for the ruling party.

    The Supreme Court also ruled last month that the punishment for failing to obey orders to sing Kimigayo cannot be more than a reprimand.

    I think the latest ruling is wrong because there is no particular reason, other than habit, for Kimigayo to be sung at school ceremonies. It is not a necessary or essential part of the ceremony and there would be no adverse effect on the ceremony if Kimigayo were not sung.

    They could solve the problem by doing away with the graduation ceremony altogether: we never had any such thing at any school I went to.

    "Doing his best" means repeatedly asking for the Okinawans to cooperate in moving the base to Henoko. That's all Noda will do.

    The warmongers suggest that Iran should be attacked before they move their nuclear facilities deep underground. But even if Iran is attacked now it will only delay the inevitable. New facilities will be built deep underground and we will be back to square one.

    The US has massive debts, mainly due to defence spending. What do they have to show for their perpetual wars? Not much. Now that there's a chance the defence budget may actually be cut the vested interests suddenly come up with a new "threat". The Chinese must be laughing at the foolish Americans bombing their way to bankruptcy whilst Chinese influence and power steadily grows.

    I wonder if the "green vehicles" are electric cars? Given that there is barely enough electricity generating capacity in the country it doesn't seem too clever to encourage people to buy electric cars. I suppose it's a roundabout way of justifying the "need" for nuclear power.

    I doubt that Ishihara's xenophobic "vision" of a Japan where everyone worships the emperor, bows to the flag, sings the anthem at every opportunity (or gets fired) and hands large sums of money to his black-van mates is going to do much good for the country as a whole.

    I don't believe any good can come from Iran having nuclear weapons, but what gives other countries the right to tell the Iranians what they can and cannot do? And to talk of Iran "developing missiles capable of reaching the United States" is to use blatant lies to justify an attack on Iran, just like they did with Iraq and its non-existent WMD.

    I'm sure they announced this a few years ago. No prices are listed above so it doubtless costs an arm and a leg.

    Japan should stop moaning and start drilling since it's clear that China is going to take whatever it can get regardless of what anyone else thinks.

    Of course Japanese electricity is of a far higher quality than foreign electricity. Japanese electrons are subject to strict inspections and quality control, unlike the defective electrons found in overseas electricity.

    So who's up for trying this out? Opticians often have those ultrasonic glasses cleaners: simply dangle the old nadgers in one of those for a while and see what happens.

    Scrote. Imagine how you would feel if you were in that shelter and the person next to you got gloves. But you didn't. Imagine how that would affect your morale.

    If the person next to me was an 80 year old granny in danger of freezing to death I would be quite happy if she could get some gloves, even if I didn't get any, because she would need them more than me.

    It was cold enough in Sendai with no power or heating, I imagine it was a darn sight colder in the evacuation centres, yet when you try and help all you get is some jobsworth moaning at you.

    another firm delivered boxes of gloves to a shelter in the disaster zone, only to be told that they could not be accepted as there were not enough pairs for everyone at the facility

    My wife tried to donate some clothes at a collection point in Sendai and was told the same thing by some stroppy so-and-so. The made-up "rules" must be followed, even if it leaves people stuck in a school gymnasium for months, yet the government wilfully ignores laws (such as taking minutes in meetings) when it suits. The government and bureaucrats in this country deserve to be held in nothing but contempt.
