The DPJ said they will scrap the various agencies full of retired bureaucrats to obtain the money to pay for the child raising allowance. They also said they will remove the tax allowance for dependent spouses.

Aso should be aware of these things, but he clearly has his head in…

I'm sure Toshiba will swallow their pride eventually. A drunk Toshiba engineer working in their optical disk division said as much to me some time ago. A lot of secrets get divulged at post-conference parties.

The prefecture investigated itself and found itself not guilty. It's hardly an impartial investigation is it?

I wonder why Ms Toyoda didn't say anything whilst she was on the plane. The guy couldn't (or shouldn't) have had a weapon on the plane and was effectively trapped. Perhaps she went with him voluntarily.

"renewal fees are part of funds for long-term repair of properties": most apartments have a separate monthly fee for this which should be included with the rent. Normal wear and tear should also be considered as part of the rent. The renewal fee is just another rip-off, like "key money"…

The department stores around here seem to be almost entirely given over to selling ladies clothes. There's nothing there of any interest to me so I rarely set foot in the places. They used to have some variety, but not any more.

"If a missile from North Korea can arrive in Japan within 10 minutes, what will they do?" she asked. "Within 10 minutes, they cannot be unified and this is going to be a major disaster."

More scare tactics. It reminds me of the lies about Iraq being 45 minutes from…

Isn't it strange how both airlines announce the return of fuel surcharges on the same day? What further evidence of collusion is needed?

And why don't domestic flights attract a fuel surcharge? Do they run on some other kind of fuel?

I suppose I should book the Christmas flights before…
