Hello Ces! *waves at Floh*

A big welcome from me, too!

Thanks a bunch!

This seems like a great place! (Reading the links you provided, thanks especially for the smiley page... It takes a while to learn the codes at a new place.)

I'm going to stay put for a looong while!

Here ya go! *hoping it's Guinness!*

By the way, are you a German Floh, or something else? Just wondering, since my head started to itch a few minutes ago...

Exactly

hi Ces, i'm interested in Japan too, though i'm british and probably don't know as much about it as you i'd love to talk about it with you somewhere, and don't be afraid to howl, you never know you might get an answer

True, true... I might get an answer. I'll just have to try sometime, ne? And about Japan, I don't know much either - but I'd love to talk about the little I know.

By the way, nice name you have! Into anything esotherical?

Using guideML -
If you want to see how a page is constructed, replace the 'U' in front of the researcher number with 'testuserspace' e.g. U172782 becomes testuserspace172782 .
For entries just replace the 'A' with test e.g. test712595.
You can click on anything underlined and if you click on a smiley you will be instantly transported to the smiley page where you will see all the smileys you can use (which you already know). Some of the smileys on my page are links, so clicking on them will show you some of my contributions to h2g2. I use classic goo (the original colour of the h2g2 site before the beeb took over)

well, i'm doing a media extended essay comparing studio ghibli (japanese animation studio) with Disney at the moment including looking at the whole of the 'anime' industry so i keep coming across stuff. as fro anything esoteric i'm not sure, i have a lot of private jokes which only a few people understand

Hello, everyone!

Are you German too, Ces?

Ahhhh! Comparisons that are so fun! :D Studio Ghibli... what have they done? Any well known anime?

Ach, nein Plato! I'm from Sweden, but I studied a little German a few years ago. Most of it have sadly disappeared now though.

Oh well...

Oops I made a boo boo!
You need to type 'testuserpage', not 'testuserspace'. So the URL you'll need to test Rocket Man's user page (for example) is -
