I saw a documentary about the island on TV and found it quite fascinating. At any rate more interesting than the tunnel in the Choeps pyramid...  |  IP: Logged Jim Alexander Film Handler Posts: 71 From: Greenwood, Nova Scotia, Canada Registered: Nov 1999 posted 12-17-2002 01:39 PM                        --------------------------------------------------------------------- Quote: From Gordon Oak Island is off the shore of NovaScotia and has no native inhabitants --------------------------------------------------------------------- You are correct, it is off the coast, by about 25 meters, but it is inhabited. It is privately and they allow "private" tours. It located on the other side of the province (south shore) from us. For our friends from the south, the Acadian expulsion resulted in many of the 'Cajuns' found in their southern states. Seems the British, in their quest to put an end to the on-again-off-again handover of these parts with the French decided, since the pacifist francophone dwellers would not stand up and fight for them, they'd just send them away and populate the area with good-english-speakin'-folk. Only problem was, their was something in the water, cause they also turned into pacifists. As to differences in opinions...that's what make for and interesting life and a source of discussion...  |  IP: Logged Gerard S. Cohen Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 975 From: Forest Hills, NY, USA Registered: Sep 2001 posted 12-19-2002 06:09 PM                     Michael, The Arcadian expulsion is best remembered in the USA by Longfellow's poem "Evangeline." It's a long narrative love story about lovers separated by that sad event. The best known "Arcadians" today are probably found in Louisiana, where they are called Cajuns, speak a dialect of French, and have a special cuisine.  |  IP: Logged William Hooper Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1879 From: Mobile, AL USA Registered: Jun 99 posted 12-20-2002 06:59 AM                        quote: The best known "Arcadians" today are probably found in Louisiana, where they are called Cajuns, speak a dialect of French, and have a special cuisine.

I'm great surprised to see this thead. You see Ladies an Gentlemans; passion of a clear picture and a powerfull sound is worldwide ! For people who's don't know me, may I introduce myself: My name is Jean-Michel GRIN I'm 33 years old I'm living In Geneva, Switzerland. The City of Geneva Is well known as International City, with is "jet d'eau" and is "Flower Clock". In my city living more than 350'000 peoples from more than 100 different nationalyties. I'm working as technical assistant for a company named "Europlex Cinemas" We owned more than 30 screens in the French speaking part of Switzerland, and we have screens in Greece and Italy too. On next september will open a brand new multipex in Lausanne. (the Olympic city, 60 kilometers from Geneva (± 33 miles) I like: a Bright Picture on the screen and a powerfull sound in the auditorium, that a proof of the utility of my job; I like good beer from any country, Belgian, Dutch, Swiss, US, and Latin-Americas, Good Food and good things of the life I dislike: When I can't solve a technical problem on my work, and somes As***es who's disturb me when I'm bussy My regret: Speaking a marble English, and don't speak the "Switzerdeutch" to discuss with Mike ! "Alzo Grüezi mittenand !" Thank to all peoples who's write on the Film-tech forums to share the passion of the 7th art !

That is in Germany. Which is in Europe. Which you find if you sail eastward from New York. Over here, we have real beer which tastes like beer. (Michael Schaffer) Hey Michael, saying "over here" can lead to dangerous conclusions. Just imagine someone from the US coming to Berlin and drinking Schultheiss beer! Do you want bombers over Berlin again? BTW, I`m from Frankfurt on the Main. Germany, Europe, too. FRA airport, a small town with big buildings which belong to the banks. Only one nice 1950s roadshow theatre left which will be closed soon, faceless `plexes for the rest... and of the theatre of the German Film Museum where I work sometimes. And our local beer sucks, too (beware of any bottle labeled Binding or Henninger). But we have our local drink, a kind of bitter turbo cider. Anyone who survives it will be respected forever.  |  IP: Logged Matthew Nock Film Handler Posts: 82 From: Bairnsdale, Victoria, Australia Registered: Jan 2003 posted 03-26-2003 03:26 AM                     Hey there!
