Japan Doom

Following the problems with the sub-prime lending market in the USA
uncertainty has now hit Japan.

In the last 7 days Origami Bank has folded, Sumo Bank has gone belly up,
and Bonsai Bank announced plans to cut some of its branches.

Yesterday, it was announced that Karaoke Bank is up for sale and will
likely go for a song, while today shares in Kamikaze Bank were suspended
after they nose-dived.

While Samurai Bank is soldiering on following sharp cutbacks, Ninja Bank is reported to have taken a hit, but they remain in the black.

Furthermore, 500 staff at Karate Bank got the chop, and analysts report
that there is something fishy going on at Sushi Bank where it is feared
that staff may get a raw deal.

Did someone mention sushi? I'll have some please and a bowl of miso soup.

Look out

(honk honk)

There's a bit of a draught in here!

Talking of draught, I think it's Guinness time.

Morning all, off to Connecticut this morning to see some tall ships.

Any chance of a warm danish and a cuppa before we hit the road?

This doesn't look good. Have you seen the cobwebs on the Guiness pump?

Ah, cafe's door is open and it's lunchtime, ish.

(pedal pedal pedal)

The U.S. Coast Guard Cutter Eagle, the training Tall ship for future Coast Guard officers, is based at the U.S. Coast Guard Academy in New London, Connecticut.

Just thought I'd pass that piece of info on.

I'll bet you always wanted to know that.

zzz zzz zzz

Oh, you didn't then. Hmph.

Where's my lunch?

I might as well have a smoke of my pipe while I wait, (strikes match)

(puff puff puff)

(cakch, cough, splutter)

Afternoon - I've still got germs for sale if anyone wants them? ;>)
I'll just sit in a comfy chair with a cuppa - how are we all?

(cough, cough, splutter, yahaaar) Fine thanks apart from this smog. Sorry you've still got germs Bunny, they must be of poor quality or you would have sold them all by now :o)

Now where's that fire extinguisher?

Over here but I'd stand well back if you are going to aim that at Keaydian!

Don't worry, I'll sneak up behind him, he won't see a thing, well only lots of foam haha!

(Sneak, sneak, squirt, swooooooooosssssh!....... sizzle, snap, sputter, phtt) (Rushes back to seat)
