Hi

he must be a real samurai

after all he wears chinese made samurai armour (Paul
chen) and a spanish made crappy katana.

if thats the case them I am one as well. I have all
that crap in my dojo.

if you see what his job is and who he is married to
you can see this is the only reason he made it onto tv
and the papers.

TV producer/cameraman. with a TV presenter wife. Not
hard to get some info thrown onto someones desk
somewhere to get your face on tv then is it.

His wife is a terrible presenter as well, when she did
Blue peter a kids show all i wanted to do was set the
shows resident tortoise on her and have them savage
her.

The article mentions that he is only the EIGHTH person ever to be made a
Samurai outside Japan - can anyone put names/dates to the other seven ?
I can only name one!

Well i read it but i still dont believe it,so what he is saying,is
that he is the only living samurai in the world,im still laughing
now,and i read it nearly an hour ago,so let me get this straight all
you have to do is train in martial arts,and get adoppted into a
samurai family and i will become a samurai,its that simple,well i
never,if only i had known that a few years ago,i may well have been
shogun,yes i like the ring of that,anyway time for a reality
check,if he was well up on his history he would know that the
samurai do not exist anymore,so how can he go around calling himself
the only samurai outside of japan.
Well they got part of the title right,Karl is the lost no not
samurai,more like lost in the head.

Thanks for that tom you made my day,cheers

Do you guys have an idea of what kind of 'newspaper' (ahem...) is The
Sun? Is good only for soccer news (mostly made up, but entertaining
anyway) and if you're 12 to 16 and you have 10 minutes to spare, "Page
3" might be of some interest as well. :oO
Puah!!

Did the Emperor give him a sword? I don't think so ;) Considering the
number of Japanese-Americans in the US and Brazil I find it hard to
believe that no samurai family immigrated. Especially since I know a few
who claim they were descended from samurai families. Makes a great silly
article though, I always thought silly season was in late summer.

ROTFL... We have those here as well, but my fish refuse to be wrapped in
such rags.
