I think they are fine - better than the old fashioned "everyone watches the same movie on the same big screen at the front"...however, yes there is the problem of people "jabbing" the screen because they are not sure how to work it...but hey....

It has positives and negatives. As someone wrote, if you take the time to customise it and limit the amount of info on there, it can be useful.You dont have to put all and sundry on there and you can block or hide the info of people that put WAY too much on there.

Surf conditions in Aussie are different (as are the ones in NZ) to Japan. Generally the swimming areas here dont get huge waves or have holes/rips just off the beaches! And I agree with Harper....perhaps Japan needs more patrolled beaches too and teaching about swimming between the flags. They are there for a reason, not decoration!!

Exciting? any sport where theres plenty of action, goals, touchdowns, runs (one day cricket, 20/20 cricket), world records (sprints) and the odd fight! Boring? Golf, lawn bowls, curling

I love cooking - (although after a rough day sometimes it can be a chore) and the final results are worth it! Recently my father-in-law (Japanese) commented on how wonderful my cooking was!!(made my year and day!!) My husband has his turn in the kitchen too - usually on the weekends and sometimes its the same thing but I dont mind because one day off is bliss for me!! He also says its therapeutic for him..... Marushka - Harumi`s book uses a lot of ingredients that you will be able to get in Europe. I have her first book (present) and its fab!! I will probably buy this one too!

This is just getting worse!! I hope they catch the filth that did this and subject him/her to the same punishment (but of course that wont happen realistically!) that he/she dished out to this poor girl! I feel for the family - this must be horrifying!!
