    "Dear Simon..."

     

    I am a former Football club administrator, my departure was hasty and was unable to get my affairs in order. This meant my secret slush fund of several million pounds has been frozen. I am contesting this but need to raise a significant sum of around £100,000, If you can see fit to forward your bank details I will of course reimburse you your initial fee and it goes without saying a generous commission will be forthcoming.

     

    I have sent you this letter as I know the rest of the board haven't a pot to piss in.

     

    Yours Sincerely

     

    Darth Alan 'Taribo Kanu' Hardy

    ps Please do not send Euros, I want to spend the :censored:er…..

    Best post of the post-season so far. Bravo!

    Completely off-topic, but just looking at your username and I take it you're a fan of the Kirin beer? I work for a Scottish pharma company which was acquired by Kyowa Kirin last year and was in Japan, drinking lots of Kirin beer, a few weeks ago!

     

    Pharmacuticals and beer, sounds like a match made in university ;) !

     

    I've been here for almost 10 years now, and kirin classic was the first beer that got the nod of approval (there's a lot of crap out here), hence the username. Still doesn't compare (world's apart) to a well kept pint of John Willes from The Angel (now if you want Japanese Tales, talk to the landlord there).

     

    On a side {side} note, last time I was home and shopping in the big Tesco, along with sushi (!), it stocked Asahi Super Dry cans. Stay away from that. It's the best-selling beer here, but it's watery-weak and 'orrible, especially from a can.

     

    Cheers,

    Earthquake and Tsunami in Japan

    I wrote a smart alec reply earlier but decided not to post it and was going to leave it but just come across this article which says some of the things I put in my post - http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/magazine-12775389

     

    Of course I empathise with your situation and hope you and your loved ones get back to normality as soon as possible, or a different normality better than the one before the quake. Now for the inevitable BUT, this world isn't all fluffy bunnies and banana smoothies, in the time it's taken me to type this thousands of people have died from preventable diseases, other people will have been killed through acts of another human and others from acts of nature. All in the time it has taken to read this.

     

    The situation in Japan is horrifying, I honeymooned in Khao Lak in Thailand about 3 years after their tsunami, you could see scratch marks on the bottom of one of the pools where debris had been dragged across, marks on the walls and other obvious signs of what had happened. A bar area at another pool had seriously corroded steelwork, it was about 5 metres above sea-level, the tsunami that hit it was about 10 metres. If we'd been there at the time, our room would have just about been dry, but only just. I'm not justifying my comment, just saying that I've seen first hand the effect of one of the most destructive forces of nature. This may make my insensitivity worse, I don't know.

     

    The comment from Zorro that I replied to referenced a computer game called Fallout, which as the name suggests is about a post-nuclear incident future. Power-ups in the game that deal with radiation are rad-x, radaway and stimpaks are healthpacks. His comment was tasteless, as was mine, you were offended by my comment as other people probably were and I apologise to you for the offence you felt but I do not apologising for making the comment.

     

    I'm sure you have other far more pressing matters to deal with than what some lumbering, brainless, insensitive :censored: dribbles on to a message board and I hope that the authorities get the situation at Fukushima under control quickly and safely. I hope too that the infrastructure of Japan gets back up to speed and quickly as this is the thing that will see the death toll rise the most if food, fuel and essential supplies are restored. Finally, I don't want to run a book on the final toll, the 2004 quake & tsunami showed what can happen to an area affected by these events.

     

    Thank you for the thought you put into your post, Beag.

     

    Aplogies for not getting the (prolly made in Japan) video game reference, life be for living and wotnot.

     

    Anyway, here's me orchard, 5 meters above sea level.

    And here's what was happening up the coast at the same time:

    :shock:

     

    You can joke at the situation, but I can't. Not whilst I'm sending parcels of baby food and housing atomic refugees.

     

    As for our swashbuckling Zorro, enjoy the mirror in the morning, tvvat, and be thankful it's not you or your community gone in 3 minutes flat.

     

    Find it funny? :censored: you.

    I am a :censored:, yes, but not because of this. I haven't said anything remotely offensive. You're understandably a little tense at the moment, so I'll put your oversensitivity down to this.

     

    Although I've a good mind to take back my Red Cross donation <_<

     

    Then take it back. Your choice. Imaginary money doesn't count for much.

     

    You've not "said anything remotely offensive". Well, in your own silly, mind. Do you really need to be quoted?

     

    Meanwhile, think of the orphaned, the dead, and soon-to-die folk, tvvat.

    Was the floating house in Fallout 1 or 2? I've only played 3 and New Vegas and haven't come across the aforementioned floater.

     

    I :censored:ing give up.

     

    You think this :censored:ing :censored: is funny?

     

    FWIFW, I've refugees in my house, extended family in danger, and pals with their kids sat stranded for lack of gas 60 miles from the blast site :censored:ting bricks. Not to mention the continuing earthquakes and threat of tsunami; or the dead, or the folk dying as you get your jollies.

     

    Bravo. Maybe you and zorro should start a book/thread on the eventual death toll. You could call it:

     

    "Two tvvats in the morning."

     

    Any more for any more?

    :lol:

     

    I think you're overreacting slightly.

     

    Would that be an (un) or intentional play on words, my dear swashbuckler?

     

    Either way, again "Bravo". Let's all have a laff whilst thousands, if not tens of thousands of folk lie dead or dying.

     

    You're one funny guy. :first:

     

    ... But you'll still be a tvvat in the morning.
