    Well, it’s pretty bad.

    We haven’t left but there is flooding in our city, nearer the river, so we are now hoping that the flooding doesn’t extend around to our area.

    Having said that, we put the car on the 2nd floor of the wife’s work, and put down a barrier for flooding, so said fuck it and started drinking.

    Beer and chips right now.

    Stay safe mate

    Cheers, our apartment has multiple floors, so if it is that bad, we’ll just go camp on the floors above. Plus the wife’s work is literally 300 meters away, so we can just take over her office. Their (and our other local) convenie is still open!

          Honestly, I'm think I'm mostly happy that you have stayed away from those "instant donuts" you said you had.

          That shit sounded disgusting...

            Fucking hell, now there is a little earthquake in Chiba. Not too strong, so hopefully not too much damage. Poor bastards.

            Thing is still yet to hit Shizuoka!

                Ha ha.

                We opened a bottle of Faiveley (Macon villages) Bourgogne blanc and we have some bread, Brie, ham, salami, and salad going right now (while watching to see if the river bursts it’s banks).

                Still have the donuts on standby though.

                Went for reccy to see if the flooding was near us, and the 7-11 is still open. Can still get beer and a freshly made fried ‘nana’ chicken if you want.

                  @gt12 good to hear your family is safe mate.

                  I don't know what fried nana chicken is, but it sounds pretty good to me!

                      Iwate game has been cancelled, as expected.

                      Japan/Scotland still to be decided.

                      One dead just down the road (flooding) and deaths around in each area.

                        I don’t do as much of the social media stuff as I used to , but when I do , when it comes to the new crack down in the tackle area , nh fans seem to be more ok with it than sh fans which is interesting.

                        No sarcasm intended, or Saying who is right or wrong , but there seems to be very different outlooks on how the game should be played and officiated?

                          Interesting, though may change significantly if one of their blokes get a card for a borderline high shot in a knock out match.

                            May that have to do with the fact that all players who received a suspension aren't from Europe? The only European player to be cited was Piers Francis and he got off. Now that Bundee Aki has been red carded, they can still say he's a (Samoan) Kiwi.

                                        @zephyr said in 2019 Rugby World Cup:

                                        Thats puts it into perspective .

                                          My mother in law just asked me why the other countries are in the news blaming us for ruining the world cup?
