Title: Finally found out...
Post by: Andyp on May 19, 2004, 10:57:06 PM
I finally found out what brand my wheels are. I\'ve never heard of them but I managed to find out they are magnesium Marquis Promoda.

Wondering if Schtoo / anyone else from Japan knows of them?

They have sooo many jub brands.

Its hard to even keep track of the current wheels.

pretty nice huh?

Everyday, I walk around and count the ones I don\'t want to sleep with.
Its easier.
Title: Ahh!!!
Post by: Schtoo on May 20, 2004, 06:19:58 PM
So dat\'s what they look like huh?

Says I who got the eye from a young lady in a store today while standing next to my wife deciding how short to get the new curtains cut.

When they lick their lips, is that a good thing?

If we take the photo as a 9/10, Miss lips would have been a healthy 8. No lycra, just tight fitted jeans.

Sorry if I upset anyone with that rather badly timed story of today. I didn\'t mean to make you feel uncomfortable, honest. ;)

Hey Rex, how\'s the weather where you is? Here it just will not stop raining. No wind yet though. And I have one of those cool little lizards stuck inside here. Stupid thing doesn\'t want to leave.

Addendum.

And I would have to live in a place where the quota is low wouldn\'t I? At least I hit paydirt in this target poor environment. :D

hehe she looks more angry than moody! *eyes off my hummer biatch!*

No I wanna find a girly who looks like that pic I posted coz I watched crouching tiger for 3 hours and I never stopped drooling over her :D
Title: Hahahahahaha!!!
Post by: Schtoo on May 20, 2004, 06:29:40 PM
Sorry, had to laugh.

Instead of me getting stuck out in the rain it was someone else. I had the car today. How far did you have to walk? And today she said it\'s not rainy season yet?

insert innocent whistle here....

:p

I don\'t know anyone who looks even remotely like that...

And they don\'t live in Tokyo, speak English fluently, or work for an IT company. She\'s not moody nor does she have a sick and twisted sense of humour.

Nope, don\'t know anyone like that at all.

return to innocent whistle...
Title: Finally found out...
Post by: Andyp on May 20, 2004, 06:52:39 PM
just give her to me dammit

i\'d be nice if you could buy us a place to live in too :D

I think this IT company needs a young British worker to mix things up *gets CV up to date* :D
Title: Oh...
Post by: Schtoo on May 20, 2004, 07:07:43 PM
She has a place to live, her dad is a Doctor and the IT company already has a nice young British worker in the same area as the girl I do not know at all.

Oh, that nice young British worker? Apparently she is quite nice...

You might have been thwarted there. She can get the low down on the bad points of young British folk...

And she already has a boyfriend. I have not met him, but I have a bad impression of him already. Just a funny feeling about the local variant of \'pretty boys\' and the circumstances of the whole thing.

Never mind, plenty of fish in these seas. ;)

Oh and I need to get beyond chapter 1 of my Learn Japanese type of course.

Copied the CDs on to my MP3 player, however the only closed room at work is rather hot so when I go down there to practice (it\'s a listen and repeat type course) I end up almost falling a sleep :o

I can count to 10 and say Hi :D

I wouldn\'t mind learning it either hehe

Gary to you going to the salon too in april?
Title: Learning it?
Post by: Schtoo on May 21, 2004, 06:58:06 PM
I went to classes for 18 months, big load of good it did me.

I\'m too scared to use it, unless I\'m backed into a corner. And then, I scare myself with how much I actually know, and scare myself even more with how little I know.

But it is fun watching the locals reaction when you read something... ;)

I figure that I should learn pretty quickly once I spend some serious time in a house with a native speaker in it. But I want to be able to read and write it too. I think I can pull it off. But I don\'t think I\'ll be using it in public until I am fluent. Just too chicken. Don\'t know why, usually I have little fear of anything.

We shall see what happens.

BTW, Backwater Japan is Kagawa, Shikoku. Smallest Island, smallest prefecture. There\'s nothing here for most people. But there is plenty of space (relatively speaking) and lots of roads. Maybe the best place in the country to own a car worth driving. Just the way it is here.

Come visit if you want, but trust me, there\'s not much here worth seeing. :(

When is the Salon ?  I\'ll be with a friend who is not really a petrol head, but I know he\'ll like looking at all those cute bits of Asiam fluff.

Now how do I say \'Hi I\'m a foreign pervert, come teach me some dodgy moves ?\' :D
(got as far as Watashi otaku gaijin, then got stuck):eek:

Post by: Schtoo on May 24, 2004, 02:14:04 AM
I think I should go to this thing next year.

Lots of cars, lots of colour plus I just noticed something. Might even make a quick \'holiday\' of it and see Tokyo in the process.

I\'ve got a place to stay anyway. :p

P.S. I think my Japanese should be sufficient by that stage. I really do have to pull my finger out and get on it. I guess being awake during reasonable hours might help somewhat.

P.P.S. I can\'t let my wife come to the Salon with me. Not if one particular girl who likes having her picture taken is there anyway. They are kinda identical from the neck down. And I mean idenitcal...  :cool

Post by: Andyp on May 24, 2004, 01:20:22 PM
you\'re greedy you are...you should give me this "certain girl"
Title: You might want to read that last one again...
Post by: Schtoo on May 24, 2004, 03:07:49 PM
If I gave you \'that\' certain girl, she would not even hesitate in lopping off your dangly bits, popping them in a jar and applying alcohol to dis-infect the wound, which would of course be made with a blunt hacksaw. She might even consider applying spark to said wound, just to make sure it was sterilized.

And I would be next...

Damn Schtoo!! You offering a kwaii Japan dating agency for us Brit lads??

If so I\'ll be on the list, I\'ll take any Akiko Hinegata lookalikes!! :D

Ah it\'s been so long since I\'ve been to Japan, say anyone been to a "soap town" and had one of those special back rubs?? :confused: ...Only I\'ve walked past them many times and been tempted by the pics of the pretty gals, though ¥50,000 did sound alot (what u get for your Yen eh)?

Cheers
