  The fuel tax will add Y25 per litre, the oil companies are sneakily adding another Y5 per litre at the same time. Also, prices didn't fall by Y25 per litre when the tax was removed. Someone is making a lot of extra Yen here.

  Is this the guy in the suit and tie who was hacking at the flowers with his umbrella? Perhaps local residents should be invited to trash Miyamoto's flat, allowing them to let off steam?

  Still "considering" the idea are they. That means they won't do anything and the idea will be forgotten once the taxes are reinstated.

  China should have stuck to parading the "torch of peace" around countries with despotic governments similar to its own: North Korea, Burma, Zimbabwe etc. The whole charade would then have passed off without any meddlesome demonstrations and could be portrayed as a success in the state-controlled Chinese media.

  You can't trust this foreign beef.

  I'm sure that the checks on Japanese beef are 100% error-free, no mistakes are ever made and we can have complete confidence that the product on sale in the shops is perfectly safe.

  I was born yesterday.
