    Nope, easttokyo was right - barely worth it.

    Oh well, never mind. But the question about changing the registration e-mail addresses still stands.

    Ah, it's probably because I'm not using the same e-mail as the one I signed up to JT with.

    So, techies, is there any possibility that we could change our registration e-mail addresses and keep our JT IDs?

    Thanks for the avatar tips, chaps. Wonder if this will work....

    I think having at least one day a year when one can get away from mindless consumerism is a good thing. Here in NZ, shops are required by law to close on Christmas Day, Good Friday and Easter Sunday. Petrol stations and small shops selling essential items of food are open, but if the latter sell alcohol, they rope off the alcohol section as the sale of alcohol is prohibited on those days. It does mean you have to plan ahead with your supermarket shopping, but that's no bad thing....

    Stick to investigating crimes committed in Japan. Once you actually become proficient at that, then cast your net further afield. You're in danger of spreading your resources too thinly, otherwise....

    Definitely. I'm not biased because she's from the same town as me, or anything :-)

    I'm having trouble thinking of candidates for sexiest man. Should I (or, more importantly, Mr Zaichik) be concerned?!

    I've got a bit of a thing about Carlo Rota in his incarnation as Morris O'Brien in 24 - I've never thought an English accent was particularly sexy before.

    Got it: Brendan Fraser!

    Mr Cleo.

    Nice answer, Cleo :-)

    " She has appeared in many Chinese films and numerous U.S. films and TV shows, including “Rush Hour,” “Fallen Angel,” “On Deadly Ground” "

    In such memorable roles as "hostess" and "dancer" and "2nd student".

    I wouldn't boast about being in "On Deadly Ground", mind - not the best moment of either Michael Caine nor Stephen Seagal (although not as bad as some of the latter's more recent efforts).

    I agree with Cleo!

    It's a little busy (which is normally something I associate with Japanese-language websites) - could do with a bit less clutter. But I do like the way you can tab between the pic of the day and quote of the day.

    Perhaps the ads and story links at the right of the screen could be moved further right a bit?

    Evidently a lot of work has gone into the redesign - gokurousama to everyone involved.
