There was another shelter where they were all collected from parks around Tokyo, locked in and only allowed out in order to collect their unemployment benefits which they then had to hand over on the spot to the unscrupulous 'benefactor landlord'.

Sorry, very sad story, but no sympathy for any attempt at blaming the lodge.

You always take maximum care in the bush. There could be extremely wily buffalo or anything in there, with no guaranteed way of escape. Scatter if you will, but that only lessens the odds slightly.

kwatt. No point in Paul Watson going to Afghanistan. There aren't any whales there, and there aren't any Japanese whalers killing them for research.

He could go to Norway, though...

One other thing. I don't think we can use the word 'ram' here. At worst it is 'sideswipe'. This crunched the float and broke the nose of the Ady Gil.

If you insist on the word 'ram' where the point of one object strikes another side on, then you could…

Obama promised to close it down in his election campaign. If he doesn't want to be proved a liar, he has to close it.
