Infact... I think the school could be on to a money spinner there.
Funny you should say that. I am sitting here waiting for just such a fantasy to download. It has so far taken the best part of a full day.
MY children are big fans but many are not available in the UK. 48 of the past 72 hours the computer has been tied up downloading the (*&)(^)(& stuff.
Do you use DAP or Emule, Mary ? Loads a LOT faster....

Because I'm greatly involved with the local Dorking Girls Football team, I got heavily 'slagged-off' on a National footbal forum, so I'm keeping quiet on this one !
(Mini-skirts ? Pre-age of consent girls ? Japanese cartoon books ? I rest me case, Me Lud !)

Well, yes JR, must admit I thought the same - or am I confusing " anime" and " hentai" ..... and is there a difference ? ( Mary, have you checked exactly WHAT you are downloading, dear ?)

Well at the risk of sounding over informed about this topic...
Anime is the generic term for animation from Japan. And Magna for comic book style art. Hentai is the term for distinctly more "specialised" forms of "entertainment"; and is aimed at the "adult" end of the market, though more often in the west is consumer by teenage boys.
I will now go and hang my head in shame at being over informed.

I presume that this now means we are all over informed.
Either a lot of head hanging required or better still we will all hold our heads high.

Manga surely.
I am informed that 'Hentai' is Japanese for pervert, and that is NOT what was being downloaded. Only vanilla stuff.

One glance at British political history will prove that the people who certainly 'DO' is the upstanding pillars of the community!

Not me dear, 17 year old twins. That was why it was such a p****r, because it was coming down on my daughter's screenname (AOL) so I couldn't get into my emails, though I could get on here.

It appears, C.H. is a more sheltered hall of education than I imagined, darthmaul !

i thought anime was the generic and manga was a specific company that produces anime.
anyway, valentine's day. what sort of charities do they tend to go to? vast amounts of money is made, that's for sure.
who agrees that CH should now be buying FairTrade roses? otherwise it's essentially ripping off very poor farmers in kenya so that you can give the money to much less poor (comparitively) british poor people.

I've never understood why people buy roses on Valentine's Day -at Marelybone Station they were selling 6 for £50!!
And after May there are lots of roses in m garden...
