    Hey Badsey, "Swimmers" and "The French". Cool, I always thought it was "The French" and "Germans on beach holidays" but hey, swimmers works too.

    If you win an Olympic gold medal you ARE better than everyone else. Yell, scream, dance, do a hand stand, whatever you want, it's you're moment and everyone else can go to hell.

    Just give me a flat fee say 5,000 a month for whatever I want to do, national calls, internet, mail anything (of course overseas is extra) and then watch the people flock back to softbank.

    Does anyone know what the maritime law says about alcohol for the pilot in Japan? I'm sure that played a part here.

    nisegaijin - nice work. The cops are just jealous cause they have to stand there talking to other blokes while you're having a great time with your girly. Well done. Any time you're going to rush a blockage again, call on me.

    The answer is very simple. Continue to outsource the military to America so we can all get on with talking about food and saying "oishii" to each other.

    ...up until North Korea finally drops the big one on Tokyo...

    I'm moving to Hakata.

    I asked a couple of Japanese people at work about re-arming and the constitution and you know the answer. Basically in Typical Japanese fashion, no one had ever given it any serious thought. The topic quickly changed to what oishii food we would have for lunch...

    So... if I hire a truck and barricade an embassy I'm a terrorist.

    If the nationalist goons do it, while basically threatening the sovereignty of Japan's neighbors and killing politicians, they're patriots...

    Someone's getting paid somewhere.

    How many days in a row is it now we have seen another senseless murder or assault?

    What about we put a stockade at the Shibuya crossing. Like in the old days, criminals were put on display locked by neck and hands with a sign detailing their crime and the victim's name.

    The current methods are obviously not working, perhaps it's time to go back to the old ways.

    2 years back I was at an expensive Japanese restaurant with a group of colleagues, it was the end of year party and everyone was having fun. It was teppanyaki and we were all sitting in front of the chef at the counter. Anyway, he goes along to each person and prepared something for each person, paused, they said it was oishii and he moved to the next person.

    As this was going on, I thought to myself "I'm caught in one of those Japanese TV programs" cause if there was a camera it could have been on prime time. So I thought I'd mess with everyone.

    My turn came and the chef, seeing a gaijin face, thought he'd make something freaky cause he thought I couldn't speak Japanese.

    Food comes, I pause for a bit and say "kanari... kanari... mazuii" (quite... quite... tasteless)

    Well, now the reaction would have been GREAT for prime time TV. The chef's smile disappeared, all my colleagues stopped talking, everyone is looking at eachother, the waiter called the manager. It was like the world stopped turning.

    It was obviously a joke that did not go down well. The chef was offended, the boss was offended because he chose the restaurant... what a nightmare.

    So, if someone can capture a true moment like that on Japanese TV, all the other stupid programs are forgiven.

    | While the iPhone has Bluetooth wireless links, it has no infrared connection.

    I mean, DAMN, infrared? I don't think I've ever seen ANYONE use infrared.

    I wonder if I can get my local council to hire the guy on a full time basis to help with the dogs in my area. Might need to give the guy a rabies shot, but he would be welcome on the streets in my neighborhood anytime.

    Kijimuna;

    Here is a brief article on Japanese input from BB.

    I notice they are only selling the most ugly model in Japan. Give me the Perl or the Bold any day.

    What about Fukuda and a whale kissing and making up?

    "We're laying down our harpoons and embracing a more enviornmentally friendly stance. We'll only eat whale on Thursday nights, after Aibo, perhaps with a nice ponzu sauce"

    Seiko Noda is getting on a bit, surely there is someone even more ineffective they can find to hold the poster...Oh and I love that smile on Fukuda, I can't even see the strings.

    Whenever something sad like this happens everyone screams "We have to do something" but of course, nothing ever happens.

    Is there anything we can actually do? Obviously the death penalty isn't a deterrent (Akihabara).

    If the government wants to actually do something, perhaps we start with schools and parental advice.

    I remember when I was about 12, my great aunt said to me, "a real young man would open the door for a lady" and you know, small things like that. Those pieces of life advice from your elders really shape you.

    Sadly I'm yet to hear a Japanese person admonish their sibling. Oh you hear them get mad etc, but I would like, just once for a parent to EXPLAIN to a child what they did wrong. Violent reactions without understanding the cause sadly leads to events like this.

    Glad to see that the uniform manufacturer included the standard feature of all women's Olympic uniforms.
