Time Bomb

I came across a great rap name the other day. A Finnish G-Funk who wears baggy clothes and dresses like and all-round twit calls himself Time Bomb. I originally thought it was rather crappy name because it has been used in many situations but this guy has reoccurring leukaemia and could die at any moment.

Japanese Hospitality

For a while now I have been subscribing to Junichiro Koizumi’s e-newsletter. I’m usually scared of e-newsletters and e-subscriptions because they tend to advertise something crap and about as enticing as northern Russia’s nuclear dumping grounds. In contrast, the Japanese Prime Minister’s comments are straight from the heart/political agenda with no advertising.

The newsletter is short, to the point and personal. Sometimes Mr Koizumi is pushing his agenda but it is easy to see his personality from the words. Apart from the cheese-core introduction and ending it’s a great newsletter.
