I couldn't care less about the cherry blossoms if I sat down with a panel of experts in the field of Not-give-a-tossery. But the weather todayjust was not right.

I wonder if Blinky's failed bank will be given charge of the books for this?

He'd lost (or misappropriated) 80% of the capital even before the current banking crisis hit. He'd no doubt welcome a new account opening.

I wonder if it would help to use the next in the oh-so-effective series of subway Manner posters to advise the locals to cover their mouths when coughing and sneezing, rather than just pointing the mist of spit and mucus at a newspaper?

‘‘As economies around the world must not pursue protectionism, we hope that the clause will not encourage such a trend,’’

Quite right. Now I'll just pop out to any supermarket in the great free market of Japan and buy a nice bag of Thai rice. Oh, can't find any. Never…

At least she's not binge drinking, abusing drugs, or whoring herself out somewhere. She's a dedicated mom, and a hardworker. 2 things to be respected.

That's five things, surely?

But I'm with you. She's also pretty durable - chart-topping when I arrived here in '95 and still way up there,…

It sure sounds like you don't think illegal stimulants are all that bad

That's a guess waaaaaaaaaaay off the mark, even for you. I am in fact entirely anti-drugs, and I don't like you making assumptions like that. Did my use of the phrase "vile as meth is" not give…

Here's another one. This film was released in ESTONIA a month ago. You'll be able to see it in Kazakhstan before you can in Japan.

Why is everything so slow to be released here? Mind, if interpreters get "perplexed", that might explain something. Just hire better, more efficient translators for…

Sarge - if people didn't want them, there would be any point smuggling them now, would there?

And vile as meth is, it's killed far fewer people than alcohol abuse, which is shockingly prevalent in Kochi.

Wottock Hunt: "I used to live in Kochi. Believe me, any kind of stimulation will go down very well indeed." Obviously written by someone who needs to live within 5 minutes' walk of several bars/nightclubs.

Sarge - nope. Wrong again. Written, in point of fact, by someone with knowledge and…
