twitter is useful for news feeds, product updates etc - the personal blog side is rather pointless.

Air NZ are like United: they keep old witches forever who spill drinks are abrupt and too fat for the job. Hate flying AirNZ.
Singapore are excellent and I have only good things to say about ANA.
Ryan Air - got prison guard type once, I was afraid to make eye contact type. Luckily it was a 1 Hour flight and no real service needed ( or provided )

Limp efforts to find a job is inexcusable...but lack of zeal for jobs? if you work hard and productively during normal working hours why shouldnt you be allowed to leave at a normal time and enjoy your life? unless it's really urgent of course. The Japanese need to work smarter - not longer.

The thing I hate about herbivore males is they hog all the sink, seats, mirrors in the gym changing rooms, preening themselves for what seems eternity, sometimes you just want a seat to brush your teeth...but...
They crack me up an the train fixing their hair in their make up mirrors.
They have taken metrosexual too far.

Give up Japan? Actually the Russians are third in line. I believe the Ainu have the original claim to those Islands, the Japanese took control in the Edo before the Russians muscled in. I doubt there will be a resolution to this, the Russians are too entrenched now, much like a certain group in the Holy lands.

In English/The USA, is Naked sushi which is popular with wealthy, sexual assault too? The models are getting paid and I am sure if someone oversteps the line there would be repecussions.

Too 'Big Brother' for me.
Also -
Hang on, IIRC just a few months ago the political powers to be lead by the militant Osaka Governor Hashimoto, were all for completely banning cell phones in Primary schools. Yet, here we are now giving free phones to primary kids in one school. Obviously this trial wont be in Osaka Pref' - Hashimoto will have a conniption.

nyum nyum nyum :-) I'd really enjoy licking the plate. Mothers always tell us: "Don't" play with your food" - they never said anything about the dish.

I don't have a problem with it. If a doctor has problem with it, fine - I don't see him having any obligation, if another doctor isn't bothered then I guess he might have busy workload if were legalized. Besides if you are that ill in the first place, just stop eating and drinking like sick animals do when they want to die. A family friend did that when he was riddled with cancer, he could have fought a bit more but decided his number was up and threw in the towel. He was gone within the week.

D-day was extremely brutal for the unfortunate souls in the first landing waves. Every high School History class should be forced to watch opening scene of "Saving private Ryan" to get some inkling of understanding of the horrific price that was paid "to change the course of a century"

Those who don't know him are the very people who wouldnt know "F1" from the "O2". Those people think car racing starts with Nascar and ends with Indy car. If there were a picture for the word "entrepreneur" in the dictionary then this guys face would be there. Curiously if he were an American citizen and achieveded the exact some success, you can be sure that he would be very well known to all and sundry.
I first became really aware of Branson in the early 90's when he was trying for his adventure ballooning records. I really like the fact he has his own private island..in the British Virgin islands naturally...

sadly impossible: Sully was gliding his plane controlled, at low speed and landed on smooth water in daylight.
This plane was flying an high speed, had electrical failures so most likely out of control from high altitude and landing in rough ocean swell at night time.
Air France's emeregency number isn't working for overseas callers and Air France has yet to contact some family members. (seen on BBC). Get it together Air France.

I just listened to an extremeist pro-lifer on CNN who "cheered" the news of the death of "serial killer" Tiller. Dan Holman of the Army of God. It is a shame these people couldnt direct their incredible level of passion and devotion to their cause to a more beneficial means in society and there are plenty of worthy causes in need.

At the very least it was most likely over very quickly. A tragic waste of life. CNN now reporting a possbile lightning strike. I cant help but think about the TV show lost, substitute Pacific for Atlantic and an airliner mysteriously disappearing. If the wreckage is in deep water, may never know what happened.

thank the heavens I not American and could get a licence just by converting my licence from home...though even that was somewhat of a mission that took two trips.
The traffic light situation as someone mentioned is ludicrous, the timings are infuriating, I frequently see people sneaking through a red at stupidly timed intersection. Get sensors Japan!!!

The most popular board game in Japan is...surely go or shogi. Is this bold opening sentence of this article the writers own opinion or a verifiable fact? Without proof it should say "One of the most"
