Some Japanese kanji. Below is a cartoon of a rather inebriated man with a pint glass, alongside graphics of a beer can and a beer bottle. The whole lot has a red cross striking them out.
I am certainly no expert on kanji, but I think this means "no British".
Me 'singing' What U Waiting For by Gwen Stefani.
Look at your watch now
You're a super hot twee male
Have I mentioned I am in Japan yet? I am in Japan. Like yer Clive James and Michael Palin, albeit possessing 0.7% of their charisma and talent.
I am in Japan.
Me in front of a map of JR West's Kansai region service.
It's either a railway map behind me or a SuperDry catalogue index.
Leopards, faces, etc.
I am reminded of Dave Nice's stern retribution of the Beatles.
The orange and the cyan ghosts in Pac Man are the two rubbish ones, taking rather indirect and random paths rather than using a fairly optimal route to hunt the yellow rotund pill popper.
You can be up like them by using the pedestrian routes Google Maps recommends to you in Singapore and Malaysia.
A bizarre shop door notice I saw in Kuala Lumpur last night. Open 09:00 Close 26:00
Facebook advert from Kiwi.com urging me to consider a £90 flight to Tehran. That's Tehran, the capital of Iran. I know I am currently in Asia and I did literally fly over Iran and Afghanistan a few days ago to get to Singapore, but, FFS... No.
Go home Facebook, you are drunk.
Look, I'm in Kuala Lumpur.
Now onto Malaysia, where the public transport options are more baffling than a 3-2-1 clue.
He was killing all the innocents, but not necessarily in the right order!
(Er, I really need to shelter under your caveat. Room for one more?)
Pictured here “doing his Eric Morecambe”
I've had a few.
Me on the Singapore MRT (that's the "tube"), pointing at one of many stations on a diagram. It is Yew Tree.
The real reason that I'm in Singapore is that I have a meeting with Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor and Donald Trump.
Oh, did I mention I'm in Singapore?
Don't worry, I'll only mention it seventeen thousand times at any opportunity.
Still, my first parkrun outside Europe, and unlike my trip to do one in the USA last year, these lot don't cancel.
HOW DARE PEOPLE EN MASSE VOTE FOR THINGS THEY WANT, THAT IS NOT WHAT AN ELECTION IS FOR
A bottle of Dasani water in an Indian restaurant based in Singapore.
Currently dining in the Little India district of Singapore.
I've been given Dasani, Coca-Cola's controversial bottled water. I've not seen it since 2004. It was all over the UK then wasn't, because of legal issues. Look up the reason why. It invokes the plotline of an Only Fools And Horses episode.
Me at East Coast Park parkrun in Singapore.
This is not Wolverhampton, but it'll do.
You are correct. Nearest is Germany or Austria. I am no longer in Switzerland.
Did you know that if I did Wolverhampton's East Mill parkrun, it would complete my Compass Challenge (having done NORTHampton, WESTmill and SOUTHwark).
Unfortunately I am nowhere near Wolverhampton.
No probs, our lot (which includes Ceri who I think you know) have immediately booked it and are now looking at hotels.
So, LevelUp Leroy and friends have quickly put together this, on the Saturday that Sci-Fi Weekender would have covered. A genius idea. It's a 'diet' SFW, in Birmingham.
I have gone neutral.
It was getting to be top of the pop chart...
LevelUp Leroy is trying to do a 'salvage' of the Saturday date, something's in the works according to his Facebook page.

We're really annoyed. Typical cowboy builders.
Still, got the time off work. Gotta find an alternative thing.
Sadly, not happening this year.
'Tis sadly cancelled, from the news this morning.
One of the greatest podcasts out there. Long may it reign.
[me, a journalist who spends all day every day on a social media app where the discovery algorithm is personally controlled by its owner, captain birdseye] you know, a lot of people are talking about fish fingers, we should probably cover that
