Yeah, just play it before the film not after. Although I'd most likely have left the theatre a long time before the end of the credits.

This does sound like a bit of a problem, if diplomacy and trade are anything like business, a large portion of it would be conducted over drinks, etc.
This could explain why China is so dominant in African markets.

The Habanero tomato sounds pretty incredible actually, will definitely try it out.
Japanese food is incredible, however every now and then I just crave a grease sandwich with absurd amounts of calories, so this should serve well.

I don't personally mind the foam that much, obviously the cheaper the bar you go the worse it gets, but at restaurants I'd say I would even prefer a good fifth of foam.

Yeah it was a good game actually, and well deserved win for Japan.
Hopefully this will fuel some demand for Rugby here, been missing quality rugby since Sydney..

Yeah that's fair enough, no one is obliged to take part in work related activity outside work hours. But trust me, you give workers an amount of free space and free time, that becomes the norm and it gets worse and worse until you're left with drones doing nothing all day long.

@StormR : I'd say 80-90% probably, and usually the ones who say they don't.
Anyway, I completely agree, employer's rules. Obviously employees would want to have the freedom of wasting their work time browsing the net, but for the guy who's paying you, it's obviously not acceptable.

Good article! Like the point on paraphrasing, very important for questions that cannot reasonably be answered.

That'll be huge if Japan can pull a win off against Wales, they've worked hard for it and hopefully something like that will stir some interest domestically.

Yes, that is a great idea! Japan should stop trying to help its exporters and should start helping out American workers!
