    Are the women in those other Asian countries known for their big busts?

    The Phillippines & India would be worth researching. Worst case, some Bangkok ladyboys would have the required qualifications.

    He was also in an episode of Get Smart where his wife was a Kaos agent.

    I wont travel to Aus via Singapore unless it is on Singapore Airlines. There's no point to suffer extra time in cattle class otherwise.

    Getting to Haneda will certainly be a lot easier than heading out to Narita, if you live in Tokyo. Keihin Electric Express Railway Co (Keikyu) has a service to a new station located adjacent the terminal, as does Tokyo Monorail Co which will transport passengers from Hamamatsucho Station in 15 minutes. To help visitors, Keikyu has a tourist information booth at its station for the airport’s international terminal building with concierges skilled in English, Chinese and Korean. Tourists can purchase train tickets. East Japan Railway Co (JR East) will open a similar information office, while Ota Ward has an information booth.

    Right, now how do I get to Haneda by rail for the 3am check for my 5am flight? I can't - he only option will be cab or bus as the trains don't run from midnight to 5am.

    It is from Nippori and Ueno which is Tokyo but on the other side of Tokyo. What's the point with this new train when it takes close to 1 hour to get to Nippori? Why can't Keisei make this train available from more central parts of Tokyo? The Keisei line merges into Asakusa Line. And goes to Yokohama.

    The Toei Asakusa Line is not only congested and already at capacity, but takes a circuitous route through central Tokyo. It is not feasible at this stage to run the new SkyLiner through it. On weekends however, the Kaisoku SkyAccess trains do run through from Narita to Haneda, skipping stops based on the Limited Stop pattern.

    Do Monkey's always "maraude", or is that just another media cliche?

    This was tried in Australia already in the late 1980's as the Multi-Function-Polis (see the Wikipedia article). Lets hope this re-incarnation has a better chance of success.

    Star Wars' films to be rereleased

    Again? Eps 4 - 6 were re-released in 1997 for the 20th anniversary. Why not wait till the 50th anniversary George? Why not focus on producing episodes 7 - 9 which is what we WANT to see for you.

    Also, please don't bother with the Phantom Menace. It's on my list as one of the worst movies ever produced.

    This is great, its a 10 minute bike ride from my place. Handy when I need some gaijin-sized protection.

    American motor racing in general and the IndyCar category in particular is good to watch if you're having trouble sleeping - cars going round and round in circles is quite soporific.

    Right... and what about other Japanese cities besides Osaka? No change? Its all very well and good to have an increased amount of connecting flights available in HK, but is there any increase from Narita, Nagoya or Fukuoka for example?

    They should have got Marvin Yan (of Yan Can Cook fame) along with a wok to catch all that fish and cook em up.

    Don't know about you, but I can't trust any guarantee from any airline, let alone United. The only guarantees are 1)you get mucked around before departure, 2) receive surly on-board non-service, and 3) try to locate your baggage on arrival!

    Smokey and the Bandit 3 is my all-time worst movie. The once great Jackie Gleeson just looked terribly sad and pathetic having to carry this woeful movie. Even Burt Reynolds could tell it was going to be awful and chose not to have anything to do with it.

    All sounds good in theory, however I've known many people who've bought tickets for a flight that was promised to be operated by Qantas Aircraft, only to find out they've been bumped onto a Jetstar flight with there well known non-service. I'd be weary of anything Qantas comes outwith as a result.
