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.
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 »

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.
I’m back from a short holiday, just in time for the New Year break. I should keep blogging during this week, however, so I’ll start off the way every week starts, with goo Ranking looking at surprise presents from boyfriends that women would flee from.

I think if number 12 was professionally done, in particular the various mascot characters (excluding the Yubari Melon Bear, perhaps), it would be nice, but on the other hand if it was him dressed up in a bargain-basement Pikachu set I could well understand the reluctance!
Regarding number 8, a friend of mine once used a life-sized giant turtle toy as a successful chat-up device, but that’s another story… Read the rest of this entry »
Over the 5th and 6th of October 2012 1,064 members of the goo Research monitor group completed a private internet-based questionnaire. 58.2% of the sample were female, 10.5% in their teens, 13.7% in their twenties, 26.6% in their thirties, 27.6% in their forties, 11.7% in their fifties, and 9.9% aged sixty or older.

Although this survey applied to both past and current moments, I have as I usually do translated everything in the present tense as it looks better that way.
I only really felt envy with regards to the second 3=, 6, 16 and the third 22. However, now I feel pride that many people appear to be envious (in a good way, I hasten to add) of us. Read the rest of this entry »
From the 5th to the 7th of September 2012 1,006 members of the goo Research monitor group completed a private internet-based questionnaire. 53.4% of the sample were female, 10.5% in their teens, 13.7% in their twenties, 26.6% in their thirties, 27.6% in their forties, 11.7% in their fifties, and 9.9% aged sixty or older.

I’m not sure about the fruit angle, and a rocket launcher or scissors is getting just a bit too silly! I’m unable to find a suitable glasses image, so instead here is someone wearing glasses but holding a pineapple:
goo Ranking had a look at the charms of plump guys; I’ll keep my eyes open for the female equivalent, of course!
