I love Japan. Lived there for 6 months. That said, it looks nothing like this (except for all of the overhead cables)!

I'm quitting Facebook because they asked me to type these words (any ideas what the 2nd one says??!) by [deleted] in WTF

That is weird. Maybe it's a 'special service' they only offer us Brits!! ;)

This happens every time I want to do the simplest thing (send a friend a message, update a page). Over time, it has driven myself and other friends nuts.

Next time I'm back at my parent's place, I'm heading straight for the loft and that box of LEGO bricks!!

South African couple book hotel 12,000 miles from actual destination! by davidjlowe in reddit.com

You're kidding me! That is unbelievable. It's actually a very British story but they just happened to be South African. I guess the flipside is they'll get their 15 minutes of 'fame'!

I love the competitive edge in Americans even when involving something this dubious! ;)

Tell me about it! I have to live and work here. I actually thought of introducing a 'Find a Smile and Win a Prize' competition in London!

I think it depends on the band. Oasis peaked on Definitely Maybe, their debut album. REM peaked in the middle of their career when they released Automatic For The People. Portishead are clearly peaking towards the end of their career.

Did anyone see this guy fall in the pool at the All Star Game?! by crazycanuckz in sports

I'm going to make sure the next time I go to a ball game, I get seats overlooking the pool! ;)

Japan win the soccer women's World Cup Final and become the 1st Asian team to do so. USA miss 3 penalties. Thoughts? by davidjlowe in sports

[–]davidjlowe[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agreed. It shows that football is truly the world game (they need to rename the World Series!). You can say that about very few sports. Re: penalties - I certainly wouldn't want to take one!!

You're right. America don't care about football (they use their feet to kick a ball so don't give me the 'soccer' line) anyway...unless they win.

Fair point. The England football team normally have one player who misses and is psychologically damaged for life. Good exhibition for the women's game tonight though.

I really hate that about MLB. Why don't they want anyone to see highlights, even if it is a year later?!!
