Guest guest Posted June 3, 2002 Report Share Posted June 3, 2002 Hi fellow UK vegans, I wonder if I might ask a favor of the UK group members. I am a big fan of Zatoichi the Blind Swordsman which was a very popular Japanese tv and movie series from the 1960's. There are five titles available in the UK but not in the US for some reason. They can be ordered from the following website http://www.artsmagic.co.uk/Samurai/zatoichi.htm. I would be willing to pay some UK vegan person $250 US dollars if they would order the titles I want at their UK address and then send them on to me in the US. I trust my fellow vegans which is why I'm asking this of you. If you'd like to make a little extra money and wouldn't mind doing this for me, please reply and we'll make arrangements offlist. I would pay all shipping and handling and of course the price of the videos leaving you $250 free and clear. You would make this samurai fan so very happy and you would make yourself a few quid too. Thanks, Brad (Kiwi2000) - resppect vegan-network Monday, June 03, 2002 1:23 PM Re: [100% veg*n ] no leather on jeans? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
