I would not dismiss heat stroke as a cause of death. Has happened in Immigration Detention Centres.

But agree...Japan Police and law suck .

Stayed in a Jakarta hotel with wife many years ago. Wife commented on the ""pointy nose kitties " around.... "no dear , " I replied....""those are big rats ".

I,m sticking to shitake from now...

In "Sakurasuki " we hear the lost voice of J. Edgar Hoover.

The end is near .....will I still get beer ??

Well he aint no oil painting himself ,with a boiled egg head complete with "bar code " to disguise his baldness.

I pay for a single room hen in hospital.

Self driving cars seem to be killing and inuring many people already.

Still shameful to be pregnant and unmarried ?

Low season its a great place.

All those calling the man names ,need to get a life and learn about age and dementia where lots of the inhibitions in a younger brain disappear.

Drop the charges and check his mental health.

I worked in mental health including dementia wards and you'd be surprised how many stately matrons of the better class start dropping the "f bomb " at you.

Stays in your body longer than you think....fat soluble and traceable.

Sounds like a new bubble in that market....prices should,nt "double " in a year

"aging, poor wages and extensive working hours " nominated as problems.....hmm...lets increase the speed limit.

So older, poorer, stressed by overwork drivers can "what " exactly ?

Damn scary driving on freeways as it is .......so it's a big NO from me.

Won't somebody think of the iguana?

In Sydney some years back, a Brazillian tourist, on acid, stole a packet of biscuits from a corner store.

A number of Police chased him, subdued him and tasered him multiple times causing his death.

Maybe Japan and Australia's police could exchange ideas.....you bunch of MORONS

Hint: Mentally unstable people, are usually not able to control their actions.

{Thats a hint to Hiro above }

My Japanese wife and me are caring for Mother of wife for last 2 years. She's improving in every aspect....putting on weight, eating like a horse, going on excursions with her daughter [thats my "free drinkee time }...crickey .... looks like she'll live forever, or at least past me.

Sort of not how I saw things panning out.....Pretty crowded in a 2 bedroom unit....now she's taken to moving cups and things from the usual place......is this some plan to drive me out...or worse ...insane ?

Not how I saw my twighlight years , I can tell you.....imprisoned in my own home and unable to find the beer glasses.

Time expands in the tube ,man....ask any surfer

Just go to bed early after a few drinks at home with wifey....works for me.....Every bit of strife Ive ever been in involved me drunk and the hour late.

1/ Housing criminals " on barges led to the use of Australia as a penal colony in the post "invasion//discovery " years. This sounds familiar.

2/ Modern day treatment of refugees by Australia very shabby. It's a false premise to call these people "illegals" as its not illegal to seek asylum under international laws and treaties Australia has signed and is bound by.

3/This issue always was and continues to be "red meat for the masses " and voters in both UK and Australia.

Maybe if we stopped funding wars and instability in other nations the flow might be reduced. I doubt many "free people would seek to live in the land of blighty {UK.

My wife and I just clocked up 30 years of marriage....with a couple of years co habiting/travelling before getting hitched.

Marriage is like a garden...if you ignore it, weeds will take over .

I'm lucky too....my wife is still a hottie , we make each other laugh, and she never has a bad word to say about others.

People, you have to put in some work to make marriage work.

Just on the "its a private school, they can make whatever rules they like " comments....I'm sure Japanese domestic law and any international treaties Japan has signed over rides the school rules.

If Japan is a signatory to any UN "rights of the person " treaties/documents there seems to me to be a restriction of a students rights/freedoms of association in a ban on dating .

Japanese judges are probably not known for abstract application of law.

Dont smoke so much.....pot or tobacco or opium { my fave }

How long has he been bottling this up ??

Exterminate with extreme prejudice the 1 and 5 yen coins

It's called "Climate Change ".

No use cherry picking what Tim Flannery said or didnt say...all the records are being broken.

Ask Pacific Island people if the seas are rising ?

I worked in a central London Pub {during the punk era }

I couldnt understand the "English " of half the customers {native Brits }...the variation from those originally from towns and areas outside London was incredible.

Some geezer ordered a "pint of light and bitter " but he may as well have been speaking Chinese for all the comprehension it conveyed.

Be a MAN !!!

Take the finger like everyone else !

Lakemba !!!

A name steeped in notoriety ....at least in the febrile minds of right wing ratbags.

Lakemba is a suburb in western Sydney with as many Chinese, Indians and probably Aussie born as Arab Muslims.

We have a new Government in Australia and the days of name calling and point scoring are over.

Now... Byron Bay ....have you heard that a few years ago it had the highest rate of street violence in NSW ?

Gee, you thought it was trend setters, influencers and Hollywood stars didnt you.?

Dont get me started on Coonabarrabran !

I've found out there are lots of taxes and costs we didnt investigate, body corporate rates doubled over 5 years,issues like flooding, landslides etc all important as well.

Not sure about the "Japanese dont haggle " idea....depends on the seller.

Broke companies, people owing taxes and the dead all seem to haggle.
