Good effort. [Simon, Yes, that was mine - so keep your virtual hands off ;-) I seem to be drinking less beer these days - maybe something to do with going from 89Kg in 2004 to 75Kg now?

[Simon,

Yes, that was mine - so keep your virtual hands off ;-)

I'm looking forward to seeing how SamuraiWriter takes off. Happy New Year Mark. All the best Dave [Dave, Yes Japan has a lot to admire and learn from - especially from perspective of a "resident foreigner". It's not paradise by any means and the social fabric has ruptures and flaws from time to time - with a surface veneer of stability until you look under the hood ... I've also met quite a few Japanese (mostly Tokyo-ites) who think well of Britain and Ireland after visiting there. Most are not so keen on the UK weather though - too cloudy and dull, I'm told. Partly because Tokyo is at latitude 35N - the days are brighter here. Mark] Wow, what an amazing culture to be part of.

Happy New Year Mark.
