Olympic Games
Posted Jul 25, 2000
Gooday everyone,
Look, I don't want to appear picky but as far as I can tell, no-one appears to have chatted about the WORLD'S biggest and most FANTASTIC extravaganza of 2000. Yes, the forthcoming SYDNEY OLYMPIC GAMES - they start in September. Whether you h2g2 travellers like it or not, the airwaves are going to be saturated with Sydney, Australia and the GAMES - two out of three can't be bad. So, get set to experience THE event. What a way to celebrate the ending of the Millennium. Is anyone actually travelling to Oz for the GAMES, or a holiday in the next few months. Can me and Bran the Explorer answer any questions for anyone, you know, the really important questions like which brand of beer to drink in which State, whether public lavatories have toilet paper, handy phrases (fair dinkum, gooday, she's right, good on you etc), where to see a kangaroo, where to get a joint and what you should expect to pay for it, and so forth? Take care all,
Walter.

Earls Colne
Posted Jul 25, 2000
Gooday everyone,
Okay, I'm still a beginner at this, but it is time for me to initiate a topic for discussion rather than just responding to others.
Earls Colne is a lovely village in North-East Essex. There is in fact a cluster of 'Colne' villages - Earls Colne, White Colne, Wakes Colne and Colne Engaine, all within a few miles of each other along the Colne Valley. Have any of you h2g2 travellers been to Earls Colne? If so, what impressions did the place leave you with? Is there anyone out there who lived/lives there? I was born and raised there, but haven't been back for many a long year. Why do I want to chat about it? Not certain, but it's a good a place as any to start.
Walter (of Colne).
