After much time away from home and from my computer I am finally back, yearning for discussing at the forums! I made some two or three post while I was in Montréal because I had nothing better to do and I managed to sneak into someone's computer room... But after suceeding in the singing matter in Québec and visiting small towns and beaches in Mexico I am now at home, reading and back into WWII. I missed you!
Glad to see you back as well. Im needing to have someone to talk to about new movies and the classics. And speaking of--i'll be coviering that in a new thread shortly.

Glad to see you're back Freidrich. Incase you've been wondering, the computer that has my ICQ on it crashed which is why I havn't been on there in so long. As soon as I get it back I'll message you. Take a look at the "what's everyone been reading" thread to see the books that I just bought. And I'm going shopping again tomorrow...yaaaay! DUCE
Erich, not all of them. But they were very heavy! It doesn't matter, Ducetta. However, if you have MSN and use it more regularly you can also find me there...
Freddy, did you visit old town Quebec, the Citadel and the Plains of Abraham? I’d be interested to learn what you think of "Nuremberg Diary" by G. M. Gilbert, when you get around to reading it. No.9
No, nine. Unfortunately I couldn't go to Québec, but I did visit forts Lennox, Chambly and Stewart. I learnt a lot about Canadian military History. Very interesting. Your advices were very useful, thanks, nine!
Not to worry about Quebec City Freddy, next time. Being the last walled city in N.America, I don't see they'll be in a hurry to convert it to condo-town. Maybe you could get a gig at the Chateau Frontenac? Insist they include free board and lodging as rooms range around C$325 to C$650 per night. I've never stayed there but I did take tea there. Can't tell you what tea cost because the person I was with signed the bill off to a room. Strange because they weren't staying there either! No.9
