Jpyuki, no you don't, its very crowded, very cold and very overated, the view from the end is decent but when you are actually walking through, its not at all spectacular as the gates are spaced wide apart.

As an experienced cyclist I have ridden all kinds of bikes and the worst are mamacharis, most of them them are heavy, shockingly balanced, weak (frame flexes a lot) and awkward to manoeuvre, factor in the old, weak, frail, incompetent to the equation and its almost comedy watching many cyclists in daily battle with their steads. Electric bikes in certain conditions are useful but more often than not their heavy awkwardness counteracts their benefits, the reason they became popular is the standard mamachari is one of the hardest bicycles to pedal. They need to make the whole thing lighter - at 130,000 you would expect something better than steel and the standard "female" bike shape needs modifying to increase the structural integrity of the whole frame, Smaller models for short elderly ladies need no be promoted, they cant handle the large heavy frames.

There are only about 12 million Jews in the whole World and 40% live in Israel and 40% live in the USA, so really the only country with this issue of upsetting a Jewish person by saying "Merry Christmas" is in the USA. The dont think I have ever met a Jew in Japan and I dont think I ever met one in my home country. The chance of offending a Jew by the wrong greeting are extremely slim in most places outside of the USA ( only a dufus would say Merry Christmas in Israel). Besides I rarely say Merry Christmas to anyone anyway. I also seem recall Christmas cards in the past saying "festive Season" and " the holiday season" so the idea of incorporating other beliefs isnt new.
Holiday tree? how ridiculous, get a grip! ...with both hands.

Bright eyes - well said, though I like Connery the best because he defined Bond, he set the benchmark which all other Bonds would be compared. I doubt we would have reached today still producing Bond movies if it hadnt been for Connery

I prefer the overseas name '350Z' - Fairlady sounds like a car for little old ladies.
you have obviously never heard of 'track days' then. Plenty of circuits in Japan have track days in Japan and cruising on highways and also country roads - there are plenty of windy mountain country roads outside of the concrete jungle.

what? Argentina, USA, Canada, NZ, South Africa, Georgia, France, Japan, GB, Ireland, Australia, Samoa, Tonga, Fiji, Italy. There are 15 countries that could realistically make the podium of a 7
s competition and a worldwide spread of all continents too. Dont confuse 15 a side with 7s - they are quite different.Posted in: 7 sports make case for 2016 Olympic place

said it all along. Well done Obama, lets hope he brings back some credibility to the White house. All power to him. Lets hope the "maverick" now fades away.

Raikkonen said he did it on his own volition and I believe him, he is smart enough to who butters his bread. You could never prove that ferrari gave team orders, anyone in a team knows that sometimes you have to "take one for the team" without anything ever been said about it. The whole team orders came from the Barrichello/Schu incident where Barrichello was forced against his will to hand the lead to his teammate. So the team dont say anything, the drivers themselves know what has to be done. I wonder how big a deal this would be if the lead had been surrendered rather than second place? It was too blatant though, they could have done it better, like a "botched pitstop" too add a couple of seconds to Kimi.
Anyway back to the race which was oh so boring! a dull race track and a very duull race, lets hope the final race is a cracker.

I dont know about that, the difference between good and bad visual quality is very noticeable, esp between analogue and HD TV.
Regular dvds look terrible on a large digital screen, in 2011 when anaolgue TV gets forever benched and everyone has digital I predict there will be a big surge in Blu ray. Look at VHS and DVD, in the first few years of their existence they were ludicrously expensive but slowly the price came down and more people got into it. In the early 80s a VHS machine went for $2000, big money in those days by the late 90s they were down to a hundred bucks. Give Blu ray time, its still very early.

All F1 drivers should be forced to watch Gilles Vileneuve and Rene Arnoux battling it out. Now that is driving. Hamilton isnt arrogant, he's driving with a bunch of wet blankets
