I really hadn't noticed that I'd not posted anything this round... if you
hadn't mentioned it, I would probably have kept quiet, you're right. Wasn't
intentional though, just very busy.

>>913
I usually have a check in the morning, before leaving for work, but there
is very little time to post, unfortunately. My boss decided it would be a
good idea to take on more clients even though we're already overloaded with
work at the moment. Would help if he knew anything about the industry.
Haven't really had the urge to join in with any topics this time too. Talked
about the Yamanote line Hallowe'en party last year, then it was mainly about
Kimchi, Obama, Korea, and that guy from Panama with ADHD.

>>919
It's not unheard of for the child of a diplomat to also get into politics.
However, it's not really common either. I'm not a diplomat, though my
father was. And his father also wasn't a diplomat. It's quite unusual for
someone to become a diplomat if their family isn't involved in politics in
some way, though.

There he goes bragging again...

>My boss decided it would be a good idea to take on more clients even though we're already overloaded with

So the economic situation of England is still good, right?
The news says Europe got into recession, considered by the quartally report.

What do you think of the reccomendation by the French president?
I mean, he says he wants to regulate the world monetary system,
calling it "post Breton Woods system" or whatever.

Smorgasbord is a wide variety of something.

I'm learning a new word from My Word Coach.
But do you really use this word?
I've never seen it used in conversations.

>>955
I almost agree with frenh president.
We need a new monetary system.

>>953
Really. I thought Mara Yamauchi' stay in Kenya had
something to do with her father's job, diplomat.
In japan It's not uncommon to become diplomats from generation to generation.
Different from politician, diplomat's children have to take
the examination in order to succeed their father's job. But there has to
be some inflation of scores for them.

Princess masako (not crown prince, my mistake,,,,) was diplomat. Her father
was vice minister in foreign ministry. Her father had become vice minister
before her daghter's marriage. But it is suspectable that
relation ship with japanese imperial family affected his post.
Masako was rumored to become princess all the way.

In japan, diplomat is prestigeous job without noblesse oblige.
They live in mansion and are isolated from common life.
In japan, speaking foreign languages is prestige.
In your country speaking decent English must be prestige. lol

I heard Aso's grandfather yoshida shigeru (diplomat and PM) was
proud of his Queen English and dispised American English.
He is said to deplore Aso(grandson)'s American English. He was a connoisseur of
wine too. Who cares about Jap who thinks himself British gentleman?

Just an irony. I'm not korean by the way.
I heard Japanese diplomats before Yoshida generation were more proud and noble.

>>956
smorgasbord usually means an assortment of foods; a buffet
meal. Originally came from swedish word smörgåsbord.

>>954
Having an underpaid, overworked job and not being in politics isn't
really much to brag about.

>>955
The current economic growth in the UK is already a negative, and we
expect the next quarter to be in negative growth too, so we're already
in a recession. People are cutting back from expensive printed advertising
and spending loads on TV and radio costs, so the Internet is a much cheaper
way of advertising their products and services. This is why most web design
firms are doing fine despite the cutbacks on spending.

I think Brown and Sarkozy are right in recommending a 'Breton Woods II'. At
least that way, other nations would be able to analyse the ongoing economy
as an international whole, rather than being kept in the dark. And at least
one country wouldn't be regulating the majority of the world's finances alone.
Personally, I'm quite surprised that Aso said the yen should stay linked to
the dollar.

>>959
About half of politicians here had a 'prestigious' education, with people such as
Ed Balls, Secretary of State for Children and Schools, who went to Oxford then
Harvard, and Miliband, also educated at Oxford. Brown, however, had a pretty
normal upbringing, educated in state-run schools and educated at Edinburgh
University. Blair was from a middle-class family too. I guess it's expected
from the Labour Party. The Conservatives almost all went to public schools.

As for language, it's rare to find people here who use English properly. I'd
expect the locals to at least be able to. Walking through town yesterday, I
heard around fifteen different languages being used.

In japan イギリス人 is called 真打.

Good lord, a total moron with ADHD or a judgmental moralfag with condescension.
It's your call, people.

I learned a while ago that Cambridge had been also the producer of Prime Minister before and
matched Oxford.
For some reason it hasn't produced Prime Minister after? ww2.
The first Prime Minister should be an graduate of Cambridge.

You must be a native speaker. You know many words unfamiliar to
Japanese.
You are GOD in this forum.

>>964
what do you mean?

>>966
>a native speaker
That or he's European. European internet nerds generally seem to have a good command of English.

>>968
Why do you know? Are you psychic or hacker?

Someone pointed out ビンセント(Dutch) English was strange. I couln't notice at all.
My English is obviously strange, needlees to say(point out).

>>962
What do you think of Russian Politics now?
The news says that the opposition parties were disbanded yesterday.
As I'm sure you know well, the Russian stock market
has been dropping in value, especially after the attack against
Georgia. And I hear if the oil price go down under 70 dollar per barrel,
Russia is in red, and now it's under 60 (it's expected to go farther down).
Considering this, I guess Putin (and Medvedev)
excluded his political rivals by power/force, so that the administration
party has the complete power to control the nation.
Personally, I don't think we can rule out the possibilities that
Russia will go to extremes. What do you think of that?

Once this place was more casual and relaxing place such as
to talk about boobs.

I think somebody has to create a new thread cuz it's close to 1000.

I didn't expect suchs harsh words would come from イギリス人's mouth.

>>961
You don't know Japan relies on the US for military supports as well as fears its
power.

I prefer to read issues
What kinds of books do U suggest?

>>960
>Personally, I'm quite surprised that Aso said the yen should stay linked to
>the dollar.
But China, India, and Japan (in a nutshell, Asia) prefer to be linked to dollars,
coz that's preferable to the countries.
Sarkozy's plan failed.

By the way, if I'm not mistaken, Brown agreed with keeping dollars as
the axis of the world currencies, coz it's preferable to England.

I am free.

You have to discern difference between lip service, strategy and
subservience.

China can threaten the US with selling US Treasury. China has
basic power to make the US anxious. China can negotiate and get rewards
in return for assisting the US.
Japan has only one way : support and suport and support.

Is anyone here now? Maybe not, it's 2:30 in Japan now. Nobody has posted in over an hour and a half.

I am here.

Right now, it's 11:38 in California.

Now it's 12:07 in California. I guess I didn't refresh for a while.
After reading through the entire thread, I only just now deciphered your katakana, >>985.
I was ignoring the エ　and it didn't make sense. Now I get it. I am in northern Orange County, with the wind blowing ash and smoke over me. I'm staying inside.

Orange County is the place japanese should not go swimming to?
I'm not korean so I will be rejected by white girls and
punched down by white boys. I wish I were k boy. He would attract
white women and brush away jealous white boys with Taekwondo.

>>983
Sarkozy just did rush, based on the self-centered idea.
That's why main Asian countries didn't take his side.

As you said, China can threaten America, but at the same time,
America can threaten China as well. For the record, America will
reduce Chinese imports in the light of trade deficits, and Obama
tried to put puressure on China by saying China profits by the dollar-peg
system. In this respect, both have a conflicting point, but
concerning key currency, they still agree.

About Euro, it's so obvious that the falling Euro's value in the market
put Sarkozy under pressure so much he might have felt he should do something
to stop Euro's influence from falling/disappear. But that was not acceptable
to Asian countries (and of course, America).

いや結構エグイ顔してるかな。木内晶子とかにも似てるが。

>>988
China has nuclear ballestic missile system pointed at America as well as Japan.

Japan's balls(kitama) is in the hands of the US. So Japan can't move
just merely on the econnomic interests.
Ex-Prime Minister Hashimoto's challenging and impudent attitudes made america angry
and hashimoto soon wimpped out and became silent. Japan's threat is supposed to
be taken as bluff immediately and Japan will be reprimanded while China's threat is supposed to
be taken seriously and the Us will show her readiness to negotiate.

Economic negotiation won't work properly without sufficient military backup.
Japan abandoned most of the Azadegan oil field interests in Iran by the pressure from
America. China has been reported to be negotiating with Iran to take the place of Japan.

I read you all and thought that
Japan is the wisest country in your opinion.
