The normal amounts for acceptance most places worldwide are 100 hours of instruction and 10 hours of practicum. I'm trying to get into Korea for starters. COME TO GLORIOUS DPRK OF KIM JONG UN WHERE YOU SHALL BE PROVIDED WITH A UNICORN FOR YOUR TRAVELS AND ALL THE ROCKS YOU CAN EAT

Pretty sure if I wander too close to the boarder, I disappear.
But in reality, I'm quite visible in some North Korean prison camp where I'm forced to decode secret transmissions from English to Korean. Right after they torture Korean into my brain.
Good times!

Those camouflage shorts of yours will be a clear indication that you're a western spy sent to steal all the glorious inventions of the DPRK.

On another note, I've just been reading articles about how flights are being diverted due to arguments over reclining seats in airliners. I simply don't get it. I can't even tell if the seat in front of me is reclined or not unless the seat next to it is in a different state. Even then, the difference is barely noticeable. I took two eight-hour flights last month; I don't think I even bothered to recline the seats, because it wouldn't have helped.
OK, granted, I'm only five feet tall...

I don't recline my seat all the way, just in case it would bother the person behind me. But looking at the seats in restricted economy (the only thing I can afford), even with those you notice that the chair seat moves forward slightly when you move the back rest backwards. Unless the person behind you is eight feet tall with their knees way up, they only have to tilt their screens back slightly. That's all the difference it makes.

It's agony even when the seats are up normally.... Take a couple inches off that and I'm literally aching for the entire flight! More often than not we upgrade to exit seats or extra leg room but if not and your infront of me you better be prepared for an uncomfortable flight if you DARE recline your fornicateing seat!

You guys need to try EasyJet. I'm 5'10 and that's exactly how I felt the last time I flew with them. What the hell is this scam with paying for your baggage these days? I've only used aeroplanes once in the past 14 years, so I remember when all baggage was free up to a certain weight. Like riding a schizophrenic, bipolar rollercoaster mate.... Up, down, up, down, down, DO A BARREL ROLL, down, *Jack Sparrow voice* now down...is up! True. Very philosophical. What happened to your Dark Eldar stuff, Walrus? Are you still playing/ painting?

Me, I remember when they served free meals on domestic flights. And gave flight pins and coloring books to the kids.
But seriously - one inch really makes that much of a difference? Wow.

Reclining a seat back removes more inches the further up your knees are. People having tall shinbones have their knees further up, and thus suffer more. This is fairly basic geometry.

Yeah id say it removes at LEAST 4, 5 or 6 inches. And when your cramped BEFORE that happens... even an inch makes a difference.

Anyone who says a few inches doesn't matter needs to have more of the right kind of sex.

So today at the range, whilst I was running Mozambique Drill, Petey the pistol got fed a round of ammunition that a sweaty, hairy, greasy Italian worker at the Italian ammo factory forgot to put gunpowder into. Shenanigans ensued. Fortunately I handled the malfunction properly, and avoided exploding barrel syndrome. I did have to hand Petey over to the armorer, though, so they could punch the slug out of the barrel (the primer popped with enough force to move the slug about 1/3 of the way down the barrel where it then promptly got stuck). After Petey was returned to me he shot excellently for the rest of the day. However, I shall have to grow a mustache and then place a call to Fiocchi and exclaim "Ba-ba di boopi!"

Maybe he's just syphoning the gunpowder off to fund a secret explodery project.

All explodery projects should be secret. Then they can also be surprises.

Not necessarily. Firework displays are common knowledge and they fall under the 'explodery projects' bracket.
Also, Good morning, Vietnam.
Wait. Where am I again?!

I'm back. Sorry about my absence, but things have been afoot.
By things, I mean work, preliminary work on a YouTube gaming channel, and initial research into what I need to do in order to get a job teaching English in Japan.

He just got certified for that sort of thing, but he's going to Korea instead.

Good news is, they don't care if you're diabetic so long as you can talk at a class all day.
