I received an email from a friend who has left Japan, and sometimes reads my blog to keep up with what is happening in sunny Saitama. He was upset that I appear to have neglected to report a few important events that were happening among our circle of friends (weddings, pregnancies, etc).

I'd like to take this opportunity to apologize to anyone else who has been disappointed with my blog recently. I recognize the importance of my role as a source of news and gossip, and promise to take my responsibilities a little more seriously.
Apology accepted.
So I need a few clarifications on recent 'globally unannounced events'
1) So Yumi is pregnant, but who is the father-to-be?
2) What are the legal implications of Fathing and Jackie marrying A) in a registry office in Japan and B) at a ceremony on a beach? Has Sir Paul pulled a swift one???
3) Did T.Blair know the 45-minute revelation dealt with bog-standard Iraqi weaponry?
If you can sorts these stories out for me, my Blogging buddy...
