Minister's free ride to see mistress



Many thanks to Our Man in Winchester who spotted this little gem on Ian Dale's blog: Japanese Minister resigns over free ride to see mistress. What a decent chap this minister must be though to do the right thing and fall on his, er, sword. PS Our Man's a bit tired, hence the naff headline and irrelevant picture from here, but at least he says it like it is. See how the Japanese papers treat the story here.

I'm not Our Man, I'm Our Woman!

Our Man's apologies! Should have known from the lighthouse theme on your blog...

You Go Girl!

Yep, life is full of indignities, even on my side of the pond!

Talking about ponds, I am having a very rough time with the time change here in China. And returning home today will mess things up even more.

And Our Man I truly commend you! Your blog is the only one on Japan that cross cites blogs by women. So daring, so unconventional, so shaken not stirred.

Is there a plan to this maddness?

Twice in one week now you leave me with no capacity to process your actions. Indeed, Our Man of mystery.
