ANNOUNCEMENT!

Give it to me in DANISH, please !

I used to live in Roskilde, Denmark (a nice city, which by the way celebrated it's 1000 year anniversary last year - Here's a link to information in english)
- but in april 1999 I emigrated to Australia - Sydney to be precise - to marry a wonderful woman and start a new life with her ....

We chat in the 40s room now and then - here's a link to a 40s Room Chatter's list compiled by Cindi - Same list sorted bye birthday could be viewed by clicking HERE

You may join the list through supplying your info to Cindi : lucyislucky@yahoo.com

You may download a selfextractable file containing the list as html, mdb, xls and doc format : [DOWNLOAD] - after download rename the file to 40sRoom.exe and doubleclick it !

Situated in Roskilde is a Viking Ship Museum which houses an exhibition of the remainders of 6 (5) viking ships found in Roskilde Fiord.

Besides these wrecks the museum has an impressive collection of traditional scandinavian boats including sailing copies of two (soon three) of the above mentioned wrecks - here is a picture of HELGE ASK - a replica of wreck no. 5 :

Helge Ask :

As for myself, I'm a member of one of the numerous guilds around the sailing boatcollection -
