Anyone been to Condom, France? For some reason, ppl always steal the traffic signs there. Tourists!!

I only have a picture of myself next to a Condom traffic sign.

Drive safely!!

Actually it's Herz. Go, edit! But it's good to honour the great German scientist Heinrich Hertz.

Nice photos.

There's a town in germany I saw in a magazine once that has it's sign stolen more often than Condom, however I fear it's name will get taken out by any language filters as still exist here, I shall just say that it would be called firetrucking if you removed the "iretr" from it.

Great photos! Hey, I can see the house I lived in with 50 students. How funny. It's next to the castle just between the two towers on the old bridge. Nice. I'll be there in April for my ten year reunion (eek), and you've just made me really excited! Thank you.

Rothenburg is a great place too . Nice photos.

I'm from India. Anyone wants to visit me????

Oh yes, I'll just whip out my plane ticket and fly right over!!!!! Or maybe not. WAAAAAA!!!!!!

Well, as EVERYBODY knows by now, I've said it so much, I come from the home of TLOTR movies, but alas! I do not live in the beautiful Shirelike scenery of Matamata. I live in Hamilton, not far from Matamata. BUT IN NINE YEARS I WILL BE OUTTA HERE AND BACK TO MY HOMELAND!!!! POMMYLAND!!!! RULE BRITANNIA!!!!! BRITANNIA RULE THE WAVES!!!!!

I am from Fredericksburg Virginia, USA.
but I am more Swiss than American.
(The Swiss is thanks to my great grandmother because she is from Switzerland.)

You rule the waves ? In that case, please cut with the tsunamis and stuff.

California....crazy expensive state...but what can I say...I'm a California girl

I am an aussie.
And at the moment it is raining.

Queensland?

ARGH!!! WE HAVE AUSSIES ON THIS WEBSITE!!! Well, of course we do. BUT TWO IN A ROW!!!! Man, oh man, this is BAD. We need more Kiwis!!!! 42!!! Rhodry!!!! Come to the rescue!!!! Help me!!!! Help me outnumber these Aussies. I can't wait 'til I go back to England. Then maybe I shall stop caring about the whole Aussie vs. Kiwi thing. Yeah, how did you guess? I'm a Pommy New Zealander.
And Rhodry's a New Zealander too. Except he's not crazy. And 42, as well. Except 42 doesn't log in much, which is sad. rhodry neither, cause he's a dary farmer, but more than 42. And Rhodry's cool, by the way. And 42. And all KIWIS!!!! But not Aussies. Cause they're Aussie,s you know. ( I LOVE being mean to Aussies. Just don't point out that two of my Aunties have gone and traitorised and gone to live in Aussie.) Ooh, ooh... listen to this. Have any of you wondered WHY there are WAY less people per square mile living in Aussie than NEw Zealand? Like, 3, or something ridiculous? Because..... they visit New Zealand on holiday and decide to stay. Of course. I mean, we're just a little island, we should have WAY less people per mile. Of course, please don't point out that most of Aussie is uninhabitable desert.

I'm from a very beautiful country..ITALY!!! now is spring and there is a very hot sun!! we can go to the seaside...Sardegna..what a wonderful sea!!! W L'ITALIA!!!

Hello... all of you so proud of your home country, well I am from a hot country, where it is said that most ride burritos and wear sombreros all day long, which of course isn't true.
Mexico... havn't seen mexicans around here yet, but I hope to meet one or two of them... there's gotta be some other Tolkien mexican fan. If you ever visit, give me a shout!

I'm from Minnesota!

Grondy, is there any other way we can contact her? Do you know her email or anything?

Does Robbin know, he seemed quite chatty with her???

I believe Grep and/or Amarie have emailed her. We can not give out our members' email addresses, even where we know them, so as to maintain their privacy; though if they post them here, then they have relinquished that right.

I live in by the sea in a little village called Rustington in the county of Sussex (or West Sussex as it is these days) in South Eastern England. To the north are the rolling South Downs, and to the south is the beach, sea and France.

How terribly interesting. I frequent the political section of the courier-journal message board, despite the fact I've only ever been in KY for about ten minutes on the way to Milwaukee. Born Houston, atm Austin (well, close enough) by way of Milwaukee then Ft. Worth. And Mellie, I don't care for the weather in little d (same as here, 'cept ya'll get snow ever so often) myself, being from Big H and used to lots of rain, but you know what they say about the weather in TX....

And yes, Ithil, I've heard of Osterreich.

I don't know how to ignore, and yes, I was funnin' with Ithil. I only use the ASCII set for Tolkien, since I can never remember them all (except Alt145 ’ and Alt146 is ’.) Gimme a break; it's been over a decade since I HAD to know German. And btw, "than" is a comparative, not a time point. Re . Beat you with a wet noodle. Or maybe sleep since I'm getting... "silly" was the word, yes. And typing in fragments.

Sorry, don't know Stang, but I was only responsible for knowing where Bonn and the Schwartzwald were (war.) That, and learning the Ode to Joy in German II, then proving I hadn't forgotten it once each of the following two years as penance for taking III and IV ("Since German II is learning it, and you're in their classrom because there's only one of you, why not do it again?") I HATE that song....

Why, Anton aus Tirol would be proud.

wow, insider! you don't seem to speak a bit of german?

now, that shocks me... you know that anton aus tirol guy? is he so famous?

I live in good ole England where the rain is harsh and the sun hardly shows itz golden face. i live on a hill in gloucester robinswood hill and itz very very very cold right now, IM FREEZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

yea, DJ ’tzi sang this stupid song calling himself anton aus tirol, though his real name is something like Gerry (Gerald or Gerhard or something in that style...) the song is sooo silly, totally stupid... *argh* but what is rather embarrassing for austria is that it was on top of the cd-selling-charts for weeks... but I really didn't know that this song became famous in other countries, too... poor you.
that's good to hear. but you notice that all those austrian heroes died some time ago... *no comment*

cool. I'm planning to spend a year in england (or some other english-speaking country, got to think about that yet...) when I've finished grammar school (hope this is the right word for the kinda school I mean...) to see how much my english is really worth.

I'm afraid it might be austrian. or maybe a german-austrian co-production... how come you know that?? where are you from?
and, well, skiing seems to be one thing we really can do...
