Actually, there were three types of public telephones there during my visit two 
weeks ago:

	The yellow ones ......were for local use.

	The red ones ........for long distance applications.

	The blue ones ........ for either long distace or local.

Also,  I noticed--to my dismay--that when I used my american credt card,
they disconnected me every time the mashine would have needed 
additional coins.

Greetings to all

   I have recently read soc.culture.magyar for the first time, and would like
to both comment, and ask for help.

  First, it may indeed be a small group, but perhaps because many, like myself,
did not know of it.
  Second, there has been a recent inquiry on rec.org.sca asking for information
on early (9th-10th century) Magyar tents.  There is some belief that the tents
used prior to the Migration were considerably different than those used after,
but not a single bit of solid information has come forth. If anyone here knows
of detailed drawings of each of these, or where the information can be found,
at least two or three or four of us, if not more, would be interested in seeing
them.
  Third, I am of Hungarian descent, though not 100%. I am interested in most
things Hungarian/Magyar/?. Especially, if anyone can point me in a direction in
which I can learn Magyar, I would appreciate it. We used to have a good inter-
ethnic group in Youngstown, Ohio, but it folded some years ago. They offered a
beginners course, but did not have enough interest to actually run it.
  Fourth, I would be interested in learning as much as possible about the early
periods, say 4th or 5th centuries through about 1300 A.D.  If there is anyone
out there willing to take on a long-distance student, I would be much obliged.
If not, if you can point me to good books, articles, etc. in English (until I
can learn Magyar;  I have started using textbooks on my own, but without a
teacher it is difficult), I would again be much obliged.
  By the way, my SCA name is Vajk

Well, "cockie" is Aust. slang for a country person, esp. a farmer.  I guess
it's used frequently in their recipes.  As for the latter question, I have
to use a screw-driver occasionally...

In Canada we get something called Golden Syrup (Rodger's Golden Syrup from
the BC company) but this is watery, like corn syrup, although it tastes more
like the real stuff than corn syrup.  There is no general domestic equivalent 
to the real thing, but we can buy Tate & Lyle's Golden Syrup imported from
the UK, which is the real thing.  It has the right viscosity (you can stand
a spoon up in it and must scrape it clean when measuring it out
ca. several hundred thousand mPa.s if you are really interested). It also
has the right flavour... a rich buttery taste from the partial caramelization.
From our experiments at home the light (less viscous) syrups do not make
Anzacs with the right flavour or consistency.

On the same subject of golden syrup, don't bother making golden syrup
pudding (the steamed variety with its own topping and is eaten with
custard or ice cream) with anything but the real stuff.  These are of course
personal opinions, but from wide sampling.

As a scientific aside, we had a discussion about sugar syrups, and it appears
that these are one of the few liquids that display both extremely high 
viscosity and Newtonian fluid characteristics. A piece of trivia from our
chemical engineering colleagues.

CAN YOU HELP ME?
My name is Chris Fitch.  I am a 21 year old history major at Colorado State
University.  I am a Boy Scout leader and am trying to teach my Scouts about 
the world they live in.

I appreciate any help you could give me.  I need an address for the Scout
Associations of any of the Pacific nations, states and territories (including
Australia [ACT, NSW, NT, Qld, SA, Tas, Vic, WA, Christmas, Cocos and Norfolk
Islands], Easter Island, Fiji, French Polynesia, Kiribati, Marshall Islands,
Micronesia, Nauru, New Caledonia, New Zealand, Okinawa, the Philippines,
Papua New Guinea, Solomon Islands, Tonga, Tuvalu, US possessions [American
Samoa, Guam, Hawaii, Midway, Northern Marianas, Palau, Wake Island], Vanuatu
and Western Samoa) or elsewhere, or for any Scout or Leader you may know who
could help me in my endeavor.  I am looking for literature, photographs, 
insignia and anything else from this area.

In addition, do you know where I could get a small desktop flag for any of
these nations, for a display to teach my Scouts with?  If you could direct
me to where I could get one of these I would really appreciate it.

I appreciate your time and assistance, and apologize for the imposition.

Yours in Scouting,
Chris Fitch

Er, um well, gee I guess you must mean "legal" casinos. If you just
want to go to a casino, ask any cab driver. There are literally dozens
in the inner city/eastern suburbs alone.

While there, you would probably find yourself socializing with senior
police, members of parliament, judges and lawyers etc etc...

Sydney's like that.

	They are considered to be part of the ACT for federal electoral

I've made two batches of Anzacs in recent times in Boston and used Maple Syrup rather than
Golden Syrup and they still tasted pretty awesome (even though I say so myself but others

Sorry. I don't normally stand in the way of a good bullshit, but it isn't 
easy to tell on the net, and I guess we have probably all become hardened 
critics and are quick to jump upon any discrepancies. Or maybe we are all
whining nerds. I suppose that's what those smiley things are for, 'cept I

those rare occasions when I have an inspiration of subtle humor I simply
refuse to use them. If anybody is affronted by this then tough luck. I
