No, you're probably right Sarge. That's what democracy's all about, eh? The Freedom to say nothing and do as you're told. Yep, that smells worth fighting for.

Blimey, that's some sour-faced women there. Good to see someone kicking up a bit of a noise, though. Though even here it seems it's necessary to add kawaii characters to the point they're trying to make.
Agitator 1: Right sisters, we're gathered here to protest government inaction, fiscal stagnation and threats to our jobs.
Agitator 2: Very well, Sister Yamaguchi, I'm going to need embroidery figurines of a tiger, a mouse, a cute little bunny rabbit and a lickle monkey.

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?

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, unlike so many of the flash-in-the-pan cutesy squeakers who cropped up in the interim and disappeared without a trace.

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 the subtitles. And stop changing titles for no reason.

I'm looking forward to the poster with a shiny-suited Toshi on it, knuckle-deep in his own sinus, with the legend "Please do it when you want hoofing in the plums, you dirty, dirty old man"

Funky - I think you might be forgetting we're relying on the ingenuity and guile of our Law Enforcement professionals there.
In a way, I suppose it's better the child was abandoned this young, wrapped up warm and taken into care. It does, in the long run, reduce the chances of her being beaten to death for crying in a couple of years. Fingers crossed a new, loving family can be found post haste.

Ultradodgy - quite right.
I ended up in a neck brace before Christmas (don't ask)and had to get a train. In more pain than I've ever known, standing right in front of the "courtesy" seats, amazed at the ingenuity some people showed trying to avoid eye contact. When someone eventually stood up to get off, I was pushed out of the way by some sour-faced office baggage in her early 40's. (You know the type, cake-eater, lives with cats). I'll tell you something, she learned a few choice bits of anglo-saxon vocab that day. The woman sitting next to her twigged what was afoot and offered me her seat. "Thank you very much" says I, "You're very kind". Then turn round 45 degrees to my assailant. Volume up to 11. "You see that? That's manners? Where's your manners? Don't see a crutch. Don't see a baby. You're clearly not pregnant." etc.etc. She pulls the deer-in-the-headlights thousand-yard-stare dead ahead.
Can't say I conducted myself with a great deal of decorum. But it was more than a shade satisfying when she got off at the next station and waited for the next train.
"We Japanese show consideration for the people around us", they'll tell you. "We think, not of ourselves, but of each other. It is Japanese Manner"
My ringpiece.

I read somewhere that these chaps are really pushing back the frontiers of comedy. Some of them shout, while others gently slap each other on the back of the head while a sound effect of a very loud slap sound goes off.
I understand that if we're really lucky, we can get to watch some of them eat food soon.
I for one can't wait. I wonder if the food will be either oishii or umai?

Boing. Show me a man who's not foaming at the mouth when watching Gia and I'll show you a man with a lot of Sir Elton on his iPod.
A stunner who does a lot more than she needs to for charity. Good on her.
If you're reading this, AJ, I could do with being adopted - on the strict understanding that I'm not bottle-fed.

How many times in the last five years has this old duffer fobbed off the people who expressed concern for him?
"Don't worry about me, I'm a perfectly safe driver. I've been driving since before your father was even BORN, he can't tell me about driving..."
Now two people are dead and we're supposed to feel sorry for him? Ifhe'd been 25 and made the same mistake, they'd be baying for his blood.

Let's not forget -these people are so incontrovertibly dangerous that they've been held and tortured for years and the Bush Stasi didn't even find enough to charge them with.
President Obama was apparently sincere when he took his Oath of Office, swearing to protect the Constitution. There's a bit in there about Due Process being an inaliable right. Bush thought he didn't need to uphold that part. But then, to be fair, he is on record as having called the Constitution "Just a goddamned piece of paper".
But it's always fun to see the last of the Kool-Aid drinkers foaming at the mouth when a new and validly-elected president starts to put the pieces back together.
