Japan's aesthetic deadzone

[David Parry @KirinKIX]

@lucy_la_la @DavidPGCSE I still listen to GG, and the Glitter Band. As you say, the music's great. The fuzzy stomp. Genius.

@mcelderrytruth Tsk. Japan has been colder than normal this year, and tipping with rain. I had to come to Yorkshire to get some sun.

@LondonHistorian @Britains___Pubs @VinnieSull1van @ChelseaDan5 It's an easier session beer than Pride, which makes the decision to axe it all the stranger.

@LondonHistorian @Britains___Pubs @VinnieSull1van @ChelseaDan5 Fuller's Chiswick. Light and incredibly simple, which is the hardest trick of all. Of course they can no longer be bothered to make it...

@CleansedTweets Greetings from a hammock in Japan.

[David Parry @KirinKIX]

@luna_drmoon @ioangrillo Hell yeah. Don't be silly.

[David Parry @KirinKIX]

@TheBardOfAnlaby Today's game was 1am here. I got a couple of hours kip, got up and back on the beer. Now 3:45am, in the hammock getting eaten alive by mosquitoes. But what the fuck after that great escape.

Poor splendid little mite. (Though the keffiyeh brigade would probably say he had it coming.)

1 July 1930 | A French Jewish boy, Georges Wajnberg, was born in Paris.

He was deported to #Auschwitz from Drancy on 4 November 1942. He was murdered in a gas chamber after selection.

@johnrobb77 @realjahwobble Control fan, eh? Thumping latter-day punk like them and Sparrow 68 makes much of the original stuff sound oddly fey.

@ItsLaurenFord I wish Scotland well but am not really arsed.

Does this count as hate speech?

[David Parry @KirinKIX]

@Integral_Views The history of our civilisation will be written by Chinese, Indian, Japanese historians.

I live in Japan. It struck me today that the British culture I am teaching my daughter is basically Classics - magnificent, departed, still relevant. And funnier than Catullus.

@manfuego007 Awful, cheap, poorly-balanced wheelbarrow. A Trallfa it ain't .

[David Parry @KirinKIX]

@verdur_in No no no. Please don't ruin small Caribbean islands.

@ManUtd 2000 pizzas later...

@Alexarmstrong @Herewar66545077 Pedal to the metal over the cliff. If Sid Vicious was a nation...

@CharlesHThyme @asianick85 'Twas ever thus. I was there in the late 70s and never told anyone where I went to school. Then I just thought "Sod it, it's a good school, why hide it?"

@Met4CastUK It's 10°C cooler than usual in Japan if that's any consolation. Yesterday I had layers on.
