"Friend in Japan just sent me this sign. It's my new Twitter mantra (also going on my office door)," Tweets Greg Hillis. The original Japanese is just as meaningful: "Please do not throw your trash here."
Seeing red over white (and the speeches)
Why is the wedding industry so old fashioned, wonders this Auckland bride-to-be: "I doubt I will be reading any more bridal magazines. Not a single non-white dress to be seen and all sorts of lists of who should do what. Oh, and speeches: Best Man, Father of the Bride, Groom. Sorry, what? Ladies can talk too, you know. It does say: 'At this point many brides are choosing to say a few words.' A few?" Meanwhile, a friend chimed in with: "Wore dark blue velvet. Had a best woman instead of a best man. Bridesmaids/tarts wore their own black dresses and the husband was the one crying."
