NewsFlash for EU members of the board

I just poped into the Kitchen to make my meal, I usually have the news on....

The EU is considering Banning 500 Vitamins/Supplements, making only 25 or so Proven supplements to be avaliable..I know this has been in the air for a while, but from what I gathered from the new report on SKY, the actual Vote will commence soon...

Damn...if this goes through we will be more buggered then the US by far.

Chuck Norris once lost his keys and couldn't remember where he put them. So he tortured himself for half an hour until he gave up their location.

Come to Japan.

Even gear is still legal, and plenty of MMA and K-1 on.

I think it was the major supplement companies making the decision for the goverments. Once the EU food directive comes into play each product will require vigorous testing before being granted a licsense to be sold. The cost of this testing (ive heard from £25,000 - £100,000, no solid info yet) will have to be footed by the supplement company. The smaller companies will not be able to afford this cost and only the major companies will remain, hence reducing the amount of choice and hindering the developement of future supplements.

What about all the tranny's though? Gear is also legal in Thailand. First your just going to pick up a cycle of tren in Bangcock, then you decide to stop at at a fellatio bar for a bite to eat. Next thing you know your crotch is itching and the "chick" you banged is shooting your tren because she ripped you off. But it's ok, we all have pets, you just keep yours in your crotch. Moral of the story? if gear is legal there will be lots of trannys.

I agree though, the EU beaurocrats are a waste of space.

Yea, I liked Japan when I was there a few years back. I was really fond of the mass transit system in Tokyo. Do you speak Japanese, can you read it? How long did it take to learn?

Speak = yes
Read = some.....though at a lower level than speaking
Legth of time = still learning.....seems to never stop as there is always something in a language like this you don't know.

I read somewhere that most cant even read the paper untill they are near 15 or so, because of all the kanji(sp) characters.

Did you just learn to speak on your own, or did you learn at a university/school there or before going there?

Kanji is a bitch.

The only time I studied at all was at a kanji school here, but that was once a week for 6 months, followed by 2 years in Australia never seeing any kanji......and kanji really REALLY needs studying every day.

A very large % of Japanese now have trouble writing letters out as computers imput the correct kanji for them...meaning they don't need to think or remember the stroke order to write it.. and when you have many many many kanji all pronounced the same way..it gets confusing as hell.

all of my Japanese came from drinking with Japanese and watching TV. The two best ways to study IMO.

Shou Chu

I thought those huge PVC bottles you see at supermarkets was quality.

I reckon Korean shou chu is by far easier to drink.

Seriously though, I never drink it anymore or anything for that matter.

My name is aussiebeef and I'm a proteinholic.......I've been sober 15min.

Chopper

Nah, that's Chopper Read. He was a standover man from Melbourne, Australia.
He's since written a few funny stories about his life and also had a movie made about him. Read was acted by Eric Bana ( Black Hawk Down, Incredible Hulk, Troy). Check it out. Very entertaining.
