Re: Got to love those crazy Japs!

They probably got some lunatic new age "expert" in that has decided carbs and fruit are bad for your psychic well being ....

I went for an interview at Elonex once, they wanted me to do a hand writing test so it could be sent of and my personality calculated, as I walked out laughing I asked if they wanted to read the bumps on my head

Workers are on a slippery slope with somebody ending up in a sticky situation. Crumbs what is the world coming to. The Rich Tea just keep on getting Richer and the workers living off peanuts

Re: Got to love those crazy Japanese!

From the video:

"It's got to the point where a mars bar is ok, but a twix is banned because it contains a portion of biscuit".

How bizarre and ludicrously arbitrary.
