Has the Queen died?

How long out of your 'life' did that take to work out ?
5 minutes. It’s not a difficult calculation, but when you look at it…it feels, I mean…who’s life allows them that sort of time to spend alone bullshitting? I assume there’s no wife or kids involved.

Was it worth it?
11 minutes after you first posted then edited ;)

Wow. Imagine taking 11 minutes to spot an error and correct it. What a knob!

[edit 35 mins later: Note to self: you must do better next time to say exactly what you wanted to the first time, just how these people always do]

You’ve posted on this “urban” forum 197k+ times.

197,000. PLUS.

….lol. You spend every waking hour here.

Mind you, those 197k posts have been spread out since 2003, so to be fair that’s only 11,000 posts per year or approximately 30 POSTS EVERY DAY WITHOUT FAIL FOR THE PAST 18 YEARS.

Obvious how you might think I’m the one without “a life” outside of some bloody forum :)

Spanner you haven't done as I commanded and shut your mouth before you read every single word that Thomas Middleton wrote. And throw in the collected works of Shakespeare. Read them and think using your brain for the first time in your life and then come back to say something constructive.

DO AS YOU ARE FUCKING TOLD
 
Nobel Prize for Literature wiinner Kenzaburo Oe 大江 健三郎 (who was once assaulted by a far right winger - the same sort of scum that killed the leader of the Socialist Party) turned down the Order of Culture in Japan because it came from the Emperor - and said "I do not recognize any authority, any value, higher than democracy." How's Spanner's Japanese these days?

Mine's dreadful but A Personal Matter, is the only one of his books that have read. It was downbeat.

I'm only just starting with his oeuvre. I am so glad the right winger didn't murder him like Inijeiro Asanuma who was killed live on television. I remember seeing the far right Uyoku Dantai in vans with loudspeakers in Japan and thinking what bad news they were for a gaijin or foreigner like me. Japan has always had a major problem with the Emperor worshipping far right. Including the writer Yukio Mishima whose work I found fascinating but who ended up committing ritual suicide after he tried to take power.

Have not had any major problems (yet) apart from a few elderly blokes giving me looks and muttering at me. Oh, one guy yelled "fucking" at me, whatever that was meant to mean. But a few mates here have had worse.

You're in Japan? I was treated beautifully by the people there and was seen almost as a kind of a rockstar with everyone staring at me in the street. I only had one time in a bar when a guy starting laying into me in Japanese which was hard to understand. And another time I met an American soldier in a bar and he said "we saved your assess twice" and I wanted to debate him on history but felt he was much bigger and stronger than me so left it be.

That rockstar thing doesn't really happen, tbf. Unless, of course, you are one :)

People in the big cities don't really bat an eyelid at foreigners, although kids will play up in front of me when am in the supermarket in the burbs. Most grief I've had have been from right wing Americans (and mostly online).

I was out in the sticks in a place called Asakuragaido where the Daiichi Keizai economics university dorm was. A backwater of Fukuoka which is itself a bit of a 'nonbirishitekiru tokoro' or rural backwater. Surrounded by paddy fields. So when the local kids saw me they couldn't believe their eyes and were fascinated. And not ina a bad way or aggressive way like the Imperial Japanese Army under Hirohito treated the poor old British POWs By the time I got to Tokyo I was accepted and not noticed so much of course.

Indeed no, all those posts are mine, the wife and kids have their own usernames.

As for whose life allows it, if you read my posts perhaps you'd find out

Only someone obsessed with this forum would take such a prurient interest in the lives of its members

If your Japanese needs improvement I can't recommend Nihongo no Mori highly enough. Two Japanese women in Vietnam who go through sentences and do exercises all in Japanese. High level and not that easy to follow (no English at all) but it's good practise. They are flooded with people writing in in the chat in Japanese so are doing a busy trade over there.

 
@RepublicStaff have 29,500 followers at Twitter.As I said at the Prince Andrew thread I applied for a job with them and handed in a 26 page document but they didn't give me the job and I had to go back to cleaning churches for a living and writing on the side. Their man Graham Smith has 3,504.

It’s a wonderful life where a man, his wife and his children can be so proud spending so many hours every day for years on end posting on a South London based forum.
