the cut in VAT in the UK did nothing for their economy. Agree that your average citizen is (as usual) going to suffer - whatever the crack leaders in Tokyo decide (or spend month and months not deciding) to do.

If they can't make cars people want to buy for the price then they should fail.

How long before some enterprising filmmaker shoots a "movie" involving a bunch of pupils having their way with the robot teacher. She certainly could maange all the required facial expressions

Nice Japanese, Ivan. You hate these normal J-women at your work? And surely you must have some experience of them in the boudoir...... I can't stand that fact people who take twice as long to do something and need 10 meetings to get there.

Interesting that people on here know how to get this stuff from "the local yaks" and how much it costs. Also, buggerlugs is a bit extreme - my girlfriend is Japanese and she wants me here. Who exactly is "Japan"? These forgers were making a pittance. And anyway, what jobs are the illegals getting that make it worthwhile to pay this for a forgery?

Unemployed and nothing to do. Crappy SOH. Not surprising, but better than some of the recent antics we have read about on J-Today.

Shiuu, Yes too lazy to learn basic Japanese because here as a visitor and it is too much hassle. And I don't need it most times. As for holding up samurai dramas as culture, wow! Most of them are moronic and show the nasty, sexist, hierarchical and - yes -childish notions that underpin much of Japanese thinking.

We have all seen them around, so the shock etcv is overdone. But as "ambassadors" of one type or another? Plus, not one of them is a looker. Alright if you want a spas for a girl/plaything/whatever, but definitely nothing more.

Whenever we gaijin gripe about the foibles and strangenesses of living in Japan, take a moment to think of just how much weirder (more ridiculous? primitive?) some societies and cultures are.

Chances are they'll get a slap and get sent back to HK. Publicity is more valuable to the pigs than keeping these 2 in jail.
