Well, MY cock has a chance of glowing in the dark. So, ppppppht! there. If it does, I'll post a pic, scout's honour. Thanks for those who have expressed concern and/or behaved themselves. The Embassy is telling us to Keep Calm And Carry On http://ukinjapan.fco.gov.uk/en/news/?view=News&id=566799182 Which is wot I shall do, but with a heavy heart for all those caught up in this terrible trifecta of tragedies. Peace all, stay safe KC

A few thoughts Yeah, there's scaremongering, of course. Tis the nature of the beast (the beast being people in general) There will be dead people from this, not least among the 50 poor sods working in the reactors. "Don't trust the bastards" is the mantra of anyone who has ever studied politics, even more so when it comes to this supposed democracy. "Don't trust us bastards" should be the company logo of Tepco. This is just the latest in a long string of fekk-ups. Chernobyl was ranked a 7 on the fekked-up scale, Fukushima a 6 (3-mile island was a 5) There's been no reports of looting so far. Compare that to Katrina, a similarly devastating disaster. Or imagine the scroats in Oldham would anything similar to occur there. DON'T donate money willy-nilly to Japan. Keeping 1 person alive here costs the same as keeping a hundred alive in an underdeveloped country. Read below and decide: http://blogs.reuters.com/felix-salmon/2011/03/14/dont-donate-money-to-japan/ One Very Good Thing this disaster might bring is a sea change in the way we look at energy - I can see a wind, wave and solar boom triggered by this (though the last one might not work to well in Ingerland ;) ) ************************ On a personal note, we're 900 km from the :censored: as the crow flies (or should that be "as the wind blows?"). As safe as ... err... houses... safe stuff. At least for now. And if it really goes tits up, I'll be able to treat my family to Latics' imploding season-end! Woohoo! A win-win situation! Cheers all, stay safe. KC

^^^^^^ Anyone got a spare fallout shelter they don't need? Feck, KC

Thanks go to Ackey. Situation update goes from "real messy" to "real :censored:ed up". KC

It's messy, real messy. We're all right down here, Shikoku blocked the tsunami, but oop North, it's messy, real messy. Prayers for those affected. Seeking stable ground, KC

Thread of the year. Classic stuff. Thanks for the giggles, KC

Latics + Monster radish OK? {Blatent plug, btw}... http://kitchengardenjapan.wordpress.com/2011/02/12/a-hat-trick/ BTW, all those kiddies have been well taught that Manchester is a small town in Oldham. Ah, the joys of abusing one's position... Cheers, KC

This is great. Would be a YouTube sensation, without a doubt! Get those cameras rolling, let's go viral!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Can't wait to watch!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! KC

Requiem Of The Common Man. Don't know you, derek, and can't blame you. Can feel the passion in your writing. Hope you enjoy the game today. Hopefully it's not your last. Cheers, KC

Thanks for taking the time to read it, Jazzer, and glad you appreciated it - there's not many that can, it seems. Which is, as of itself, a minor blood-boiler. But hey, ho. Bigotry and ignorance make good bedfellows. Cheers to enlightenment, KC

Historians and books, mostly, 24HFT. Living here and being constantly amazed by the docility of the masses, I've looked into it. A brief summary; (a handy cuppa advised before clicking): http://www.larouchepub.com/other/2002/revi...3hiroshima.html More scandalous as why the Japanese today are as they are can be attributed to the good ol' US of A, and in particular, the good ol' CIA's hiring and promotion of the yakuza to stifle free thought and a realistic democracy. Now there's a blood-boiler. But that's a story for another day, and one that Clint won't film. Until then, yeah, I'll be F\ing the F\ing Japanese, every which way but... Cheers, KC

Yes, F-em. That's one way at least to make the world less ignorant. In the meantime...

It's funny that you mention Stephen Fry, for his QI producers have been licking pavement to a media backlash over here this week. Did anyone catch the episode featuring "The Unluckiest Man In The World"? Nowt like a rant against johnny-foreigner to placate the masses, is there? Now where have I seen that {countless times} before ...? Cheers, And taking cover, KC

A bit off topic, but what's the inflation rate in the UK nowadays? Hazy recollections of seeing 3.7% but could be wrong... Thanks in advance for any answers. KC

That boards reads like owtb during the DP days...

'Nuff said. Oh, happy days... KC

Random Latics photo from Japan. Thought I'd plonk it in the thread: http://kitchengardenjapan.wordpress.com/2011/01/22/the-gap/ Cheers, KC

I'll give you 100yen a bag. If it's good horse:censored:, 150. Good :censored:, horse:censored: is. KTS KC

I'm Watching You {squawk} Those with opinions are the first to go. Move to the front of the line...

In his interview on the BBC website he cam across exceedingly well, so positive. Ried, on the other hand, reminded me of a certain Mr. Penney! Good on the man, he's proving a credit to the club. Cheers, KC

... How expensive England is for anything other than (supermarket-bought) alcohol... Boo! KC

Cheeky 2-1 win, making the most of their cup hangover. The tea leaves said so... KC

Me like this.

Gutted. Was to have been a highlight of a 16,000 mile round-trip and an induction for the kids. (Narrow miss for them, then ;0 ) Merry Chrimblebobs, KC

You've let yerself down there, youngen, et. al. Utter, utter tosh. KC
