Ultraman, found alive and well on Sado

Ultraman, protects corregated iron, second only to Ronseal

I'll post some more keich soon.

Kyameron no zubon wa doko desu ka?

Cam at Uchikaifu JHS in his kilt, ya hoor sir!

Well I've just come down from the Isle of Sado,
I'm awfy big but I'm no so bad - o!
All the rassies shout as I sneak by,
Kyameron no zubon wa doko desu ka?

Let the wind blow high let the wind blow low,
Through the schools in my kilt I go,
All the lassies cry "Harro!
Kyameron no zubon wa doko desu ka?

The man bags and the shecht rag

My new year Japanese message (It says 'Auld rang syne') and I like to take the odd swipe at the ridiculous Japanese national pride

My last post had 'man bag' in the title and I noticed on my site stats that someone was sniffing around my site looking for something related to a man bag. I bet they had to delve deep, past the first three google pages of the search to come up trumps with my post. I recently bought a bag, more a brief case type thing, you know for carrying around my skiffs, but it could be mistaken for a man bag. The Japanese geezers love their man bags, and there are some real belters around, most are really cheesy piles of silk lined, leather shite. Some however are very cool. Since investing in a bag it has to be said, they rule the school and it beats having pockets full of keich.

My one is made by this bunch, who make all sorts of bags, luggage and other tripe.

At the end of the Japanese version of The Office...

So once you think you're in you're out
'Cause you don't mean a single thing without
The man bags and the shect rag
That your poor old Grandad had to sweat to buy you

This verse is bang on the money, as it's all the old folks that work the rice fields in Japan, 'cause the young people can't be humped as they are too busy fannying around with their keitai (mobile/cell phone) or mucking around with their hair. I reckon there's trouble a brewing. They're going to have to get in some cheap foreign labour and that's not going to be popular with this very homogenous nation. Don't get me wrong, I'm not calling them a nation of brilliant bandits. That's the price of a good man bag you see, you can't have everything.

Reborn like a man bag from the flames

Here's a scan of a flyer for a little bar called Rock Rock that we visited in Osaka last year. This is probably the best flyer in the world.

The picture of the ferrets in leathers with metal instruments and rock get up is funny, so I've pinched it as my new logo and in a flash of inspiration renamed the blog from 'Big in Japan' (which turned out not to be an overly original blog title) to 'The Ferrets of Mercy'. Maybe in true rock n roll spirit, the blog should be called 'The blog previously known as Big in Japan'.
