He should have just said he was drunk. He'd have got away with it no problem.

The "Let's Safety Cycle" campaign, or whatever it will get called, will have a mildly cute girl in a ganbarre pose on the poster, and will last about 2 weeks until the police get bored of it and realise that people won't change their ways/it's too much effort.

JapanGal - if it was in entertainment, there would have to be mention of a reporter asking him something about getting a "hole in one", or "getting stuck in the rough", or whatever else usually gets reported.

shanabelle - I know, I'm struggling to control my excitement. Apparently it's the most important sports story at the moment.

Bah, when it's lulzsec it's a rogue grouip of hackers; when it comes from China it's got to be government-sponsored.

I get pinged from all over the world to be honest, from the US, to Australia, to Finland.

Yubaru - you're right. It certainly wouldn't get in the Oki Times, Ryukyu Shimpo or on JU.

Whatever you think of the death penalty and its rights or wrongs, Malaysia has it for drugs offences. She got caught either through stupidity or willingly and has to face the consequences. And before anyone says, "What if you did something like that and got caught?", then I'd almost certainly accept that I'd messed up bigtime.

If you aren't prepared to accept the consequences if caught, you shouldn't do the crime.

CrazyJoe - don't you dare let statistics that actually work in the military's favour into a news story aimed at provoking an anti-military reaction! Where would we be if we all let rational thought and reasoning into the equation?

Hang on a sec... what is everyone imagining by the word, "joyride". Just want to make sure we're on the same page here. As far as I know, in the UK it means basically a TWOC (taking without consent) of a car, but with no intention to keep or sell said vehicle. I.e. you cannot joyride your own vehicle.

Don't think it'[s the communication channels as such (mobile phone wavelength is different from the frequencies that they will use in the tower. Think they are banned from hospitals, partly for consideration for others, and partly because the equipment there can be very sensitive to signals from other devices. Think Michael J. Fox mentioned this in his autobiography.

ratpack - Probably no follow up as no punishment is given. Just a pretty long, slightly lower than 45 degree bow and everything is forgotten.

So he fled because he didn't have a licence? I'm assuming if he had a licence, had stolen a car and hit someone he would have stayed then?
