NON Breaking News Stories

That’s the clip from Austin Powers in Goldmember. I watched that movie at an outdoor cinema. I was howling at that scene.

Further to my earlier anouncement of the nationwide simultaneous test of the information dissemination system using the Japan Emergency Alert System (J-Alert) … gerron with it!

I must now inform you that the test has been cancelled due to Japan experiencing a major weather event.

I kid you not. A large typhoon is currently barreling it’s way along the Pacific coast having caused quite a lot flooding in Okinawa yesterday. The typhoon’s path will take in all major population centers along the Pacific coast. So if you were planning on flying to or from Osaka, Nagoya or Tokyo in the next day or two, I think your flight may be re-arranged.

Hoping people stay as safe as possible through all of this :slightly_frowning_face:

It’s no big deal, except for the people who’s houses might get flooded of course.

Just the first of many typhoons to head this way this year.

That does sound a bit blasé and slightly cold-hearted, but you get that way after you’ve been here a while as big weather events and natural disasters are part of life here.

This an odd report

I wonder what this is trying for in terms of broader strategy. Is it the obvious or something more calculated.

Smoking in a work van is illegal, if any other worker has the use of that van.
Even if they’re never in it together.

Fair enough…
Who wants to use a van that stinks like a 70s phone box?
Minus the stale pee odour, I hope…

A Royal mess.
