Apologies for leaving that nasty picture of HRH Ozawa on the desktop all day, Our Man had meant it as a holding post while he thought of something more profound to say. (The wait continues - Ed).
Meanwhile, may he entertain you with his random thoughts, such as they were, given it was after midnight when he last used his brain and Our Man had hit the hot plums (that's a local alcoholic delicacy, not a euphemism).
1. It's hard to write a decent post unless you are angry.
4. Our Man is curiously at peace with the world.
32. Even though Kim Jong Il is getting ready to fire off another of his Ding Dongs.
4073.5. There's an awful lot of punditifying about how the people of Okinawa have risen up as one to defy the Yanks on moving the Marines in next door and Mr Hesitation Hatoyama's hands are tied yada yadda yaddda - but only 53% of local voters picked the pacifist mayor, and since when has anybody in Tokyo or anywhere else given a Ueno-zoo-escaped monkey's what the Okis think anyway?

That was cool - the monkey at least.
"Hot plums"? Warm umeshu? Umeshu and tonic water with a twist of lemon is delicious, but I've never considered making a toddy with it.
Soma - cool yourself, why your posts are positively flowing. Is your hat in the ring now?
Janne - try the Abiko poor man's special. 1. get some given to you by a kindly mum at your kids' nursery school 2. add hot water from the always-on-kettle and 3. say Gooooodnight Abiiiii-koooo!
It's in. At least until someone stomps all over it and hurts my feelings and kicks it back out again.
But that would never happen on the internet.
