Pretty sure all the Commandments apply to both Catholics and Protestants.
I watched JPII say "Men of violence, on my knees, I beg you renounce your ways"
Don't tell me the IRA are Catholics.
Of course, this was before Terrorism was a bad thing for Americans, and Noraid was a charity.

sensei - you're missing nothing. If you're over 16 years of age, or - bearing in mind where most of us live - have an intellect higher than that of a 16 year-old girl, you're wasting your time watching this.
Bag o'shoite is what it is.

soldave - not quite been released on DVD yet, although it did open in the civilised world in November last year.
Having said that, the film isn't released here until 4th April - another brilliant bit of the unique art of generating press interest in plenty of time for it to be forgotten about by the time the film actually lands. (q.v. Quantum of Solace)
With the exception of Ecuador, Japan is the last place on earth where anyone can hope to see this film.
And the DVD is released on 21st March - a full two weeks before the cinems start showing it here, and charging the most expensive admission price in the world for patrons to see something they can buy online.
This never fails to get on my nerves. Surely there has to be a bigger market here than in Belgium or Latvia?

Another great bit of detective work there, Lt. Columbo. 19 year old dead after drinking. Legal age to drink - 20.
Hmmm, now let me see...is there any chance underage drinking may have taken place?
Oh, and just one more thing, sir...

Something else that gets on my nerves is if I go for a wee wee in an office building and there's somebody in a cubicle, evidently mid-bowel movement, engrossed in a business call and givving it all the earnest "hai, hai, wakarimashita" palaver. I'm sure the person on the other end of the line wouldn't be quite so impressed with the diligence and keigo of his interlocutor, were he to know that he's sitting there with his trolleys round his ankles with a pendulous turdcicle.
And what kind of telephone conversation is so important it can't wait until you've finished parking your breakfast? It's come to a pretty pass when a man's expected to conduct business when he's doing his business.
And with that kind of multi-tasking skill, why does he then need fourteen hours to do a day's work?

Knighthood these days amounts to one simple question:
Will the Labour Party get good press if candidate X receives an honour?

According to Amazon.co.jp, apparently not. So not much use this, is it?

Third one along, bottom row. Roughly how many times per day do you reckon she pretends to be surprised by something, and squeak, with little pin-step stamps of her feet to express it?
What's the hygiene aspect of lip-piercing? It can't be good for you, surely? Any posters ever kissed a girl with one of these in? Can't imagine it's much fun.

I also remember seeing posters up in the stations with ishihara, one fist in the air, pledging to conquer hay fever.
Another untrammelled victory from the master of Shinginkyo Tokyo. Well worth his salary (and 80% of depositors' cash).

Billy - the clue's in your post. Why is New Komeito well supported by a disproportionate number of SG members? It's policy, kept off the paperwork.

LFR - shot in the dark here: this lady who didn't know there was an election due - she's single and keeps cats, right?
Just seems to fit the profile, that's all.

shouganaika - I like the cut of your jib, sirrah. I trust you gave him the benefit of a few choice anglo-saxon epithets.
