Thanks, Walter.
I recently got a copy of Otoko-tachi no Yamato as a Valentine's Day present which I will be enjoying (along with an attending sixpack of Sapporo) on my off day Thursday.

Now I know what to ask my wife for for my birthday. ;)

Man... I could never call that 'easily', but I must say that her skipper must be a man born to his job. I don't know how he's making any of those maneuvers, as half the time neither his screws nor his rudders are in the water!

Have hauled in the "Great battle of the Japan Sea" (a bit more than 5 days) and watched it. An interesting movie. Looks to be a fansub. Also the date "February 14, 1938" in the subtitles was a bit weird. :)

Having watched that bit from the link, I expected the movie to be about Tsushima, but it is more than just that one battle. You see quite a few other things about the Ruso-Japan war as well. Tsushima itself starts after about 1 hour and 40 minutes.

Few pics taken from the movie.

A difference from the previous postings. But still something to share.

Some of us here follow the webcomic Schlock mercenary.

At one time, the cartonist, Howard, got the idea to introduce a new kind of dish.
Smutto.
A NipMex dish

The Nipponese influence

And the Mexian "Corn Truffle".

At work, we got new standard for forklift drivers. They have to complete a fairly stiff parcours of tests, theoretical and practical.

Here is the result.

Why I am not a forklift driver. ;D

For some reason some additional stuff was added to the link so it did not work.
