    It was just a tit-for-tat for what happened with Kosovo and the fact that Georgia is cosy with the "west". Of course souvereign countries have the right which side they want to choose, but bearing in mind the nature of the Russian government, suspicious about anything, more prudence should have…

    The company responsible has folded and all its employees are on the dole.

    Is it? Didn't they just send out letters to their customers saying they will only be selling the "good stuff" from now on.

    The JSA said themselves that they are not interested in cooperating with WADA. Their explanation: "we have our own set of rules". Convenience? There has been talk of (alleged) steroid etc. use in sumo for a long time. Have you ever seen the size of these guys bones? You don't…

    Well, it's true that any "crime" involving a non-Japanese person, how minuscule the offense might be, is explicitly reported as being committed by a foreigner. That's sad. Anyway, it's funny to read that cannabis has been a part of Japanese culture since the beginnings of its history. "It is a…

    Well, they don't know exactly. The proponents claim there are and the opponents claim there aren't. They also claim tradition, so nothing new there. Interesting to read that they feel like Faroese men when killing these whales. Don't they have women over there? Anyway, as long as it's done with…

    Yeah, two people killed in front of her eyes and this 75 year old woman acted suspiciously. She admitted buying doragusu at the local doragustoa? In this day and age nothing is impossible, but this seems a tad over the top. Zealous cop? Anyway, I am curious as to what…

    Yosun, don't know why you mention the MLB. The US team that participated in the Olympics was comprised of the following: 14 players currently playing at AAA-level, 7 players at AA-level, 1 at A-level and 1 at collegiate level. An ex pitcher, now a regular on a tv program, mentioned…

    Ouch, ouch, double ouch! That must hurt. Well, this morning they mentioned on tv the US team as "reberu hikui kara zettai ni katteru" and I thought that to be a bit premature to say the least. Anyway, great effort from these minor league players.

    Ouch, ouch, double ouch! I felt sorry for the players when seeing their faces, especially Iwase when he was pulled from the mound. Well, there is still the bronze, so go for it. And anyway, as Hoshino will have told you many times, competing in the Olympics is more important…

    Don't know why the Thai authorities have issued warranties for the arrest of these two Japanese fellows, since Japan and Thailand don't have an extradition treaty anyway and Japan has already indicated it won't extradite these two to Thailand, who are already back in Japan. Since the murdered person is…
