Over the 7th and 8th of December 2012 1,059 members of the goo Research monitor group completed a private internet-based questionnaire. 61.4% of the sample were female, 10.8% in their teens, 14.4% in their twenties, 24.9% in their thirties, 28.8% in their forties, 11.5% in their fifties, and 9.6% aged sixty or older. Note that the score in the results refers to the relative number of votes for each option, not a percentage of the total sample.
Here’s a guy enjoying number 2, both 6s, and perhaps even the first 9.

I think most of the answers apply to people at the girlfriend/boyfriend stage, not married couples. I hope I don’t do any of the male acts, although numbers 14 and 18 hit a bit close to home! On the other hand, … my wife might be reading! Read the rest of this entry »
goo Ranking took a look at what experiences on reaching one’s thirties people can identify with, for both women and men.
Demographics
Between the 5th and 7th of November 2012 1,049 members of the goo Research monitor group completed a private internet-based questionnaire. 58.8% of the sample were female, 10.2% in their teens, 14.6% in their twenties, 27.5% in their thirties, 25.1% in their forties, 11.0% in their fifties, and 11.7% aged sixty or older. Note that the score in the results refers to the relative number of votes for each option, not a percentage of the total sample. Perhaps only those over thirty answered this question.
There’s a suspicious 5% gap between each answer for the women, so that would mean the top answer only got 20 votes, which does seem very low, especially since for the men there seems to be around 100 votes for their top answer.
I don’t think I really felt anything particular in my thirties, although I can identify with many of the answers with regards to hitting my forties! Read the rest of this entry »

I’ve done number 3, once in Scotland and once in Japan… If we count company overnight stays, one person who I shared a room with has excessively noisy gargling and left the sink under about 10 centimetres of water. Read the rest of this entry »
Today’s second goo Ranking is another one quite appropriate for the time of year, a look at bargain-hunting tips.

Here’s the typical January sales scene where everyone rushes for a lucky bag:
My bargain hunting for this year was as it is every year, a Mr Donut lucky bag, but despite four visits to three different shops they were all sold out when I turned up, so I guess I should have done number 10… Read the rest of this entry »

My New Year resolution is number 1 on working days, as I’d like to lose about 6 or 8 kilogrammes this year. I get forced into number 2, as the spousal unit complains too much if I don’t! Number 3 I will never quit, but doing this blog feels sometimes as if I’m in number 13 territory. I should set my wallpaper to this to remind me of #1 and #2…

Here’s what I find tedious about Japanese New Year, standing in queues like these for shrines and temples.
Living so far away from home and having few opportunities to visit, there is little I feel is tedious regarding spending the Christmas and New Year holiday there, especially as my parents tend to spoil me, so I can lie in as long as I like but there is always food waiting, washing gets done without my intervention, etc. Perhaps only number 15 gets tedious.
On the other hand, regarding number 13 there was something my father said about 13 Christmases ago that I think I remember as being tedious at the time, but it kicked off a chain of events that resulted in me getting married. And I still haven’t forgiven the bugger yet. (No no, darling, that was a joke!) Read the rest of this entry »
Not a very festive note to end the year on, but I liked the topic of this goo Ranking, into the moments when one realises one still has feelings for their ex, for both women and their ex-boyfriends and men and their ex-girlfriends.

I’ve never had the experience of this myself, but I remember one time putting my foot in it with a rather tactless email to a friend about his ex which probably put him in situation number 8 for the men. I’m not going to tell you the details, however, at least not in a space where my mother is listening!
The difference in roles in Japanese society is highlighted by comparing the female #11, a hidden high salary, to the male #12, hidden housework skills. A recent survey (which I should really translate!) highlighted that 51% of Japanese men thought basically that the woman’s place is in the kitchen. Read the rest of this entry »

As you can see from the list below, inappropriate snogging seems to be quite a turn-off for those around them. Here’s a couple who better not get any closer and risk number 14…

I’ve seen none of the Japanese ones on the list, but I enjoyed Brave, missed Puss in Boots as it had a very limited dubbed release, but I just saw Frankenweenie recently on a plane, and I thought it was really hilarious. I presume it is low scoring because it wasn’t released until after the survey was conducted.
