+Carbon Hunter Posted May 23, 2012 Share Posted May 23, 2012 Nope - those are both Muslim currently. This nation is still christian. Quote Link to comment
+cincol Posted May 24, 2012 Share Posted May 24, 2012 Then it must be one of the European countries - Greece or Italy. Quote Link to comment
+Carbon Hunter Posted May 24, 2012 Share Posted May 24, 2012 Greece is closer than Italy Quote Link to comment
+Carbon Hunter Posted May 24, 2012 Share Posted May 24, 2012 Armenia? Yep - Armenia it is - the king made the state a christian nation in 301 A.D. (CE) based on the work that 2 of the 12 disciples Bartholowmeu and Thaddeaus (sp?) did in the 1st Century. It has remain as such - even thorughout the Soviet era and the Armenian Orthodox church remains a seperate church to others. All your - and enjoy your Middle East packing Quote Link to comment
+cincol Posted May 24, 2012 Share Posted May 24, 2012 (edited) Lets keep the topic in the same area. One of Armenia's neighbours is Iran. This country has been in the news for a number of things recently so this should be topical. By what other name is Iran also known? Edited May 24, 2012 by cincol Quote Link to comment

+cownchicken Posted May 25, 2012 Share Posted May 25, 2012 What is different about the traffic lights (robots) in the main streets in Worcester (Western Cape)? Quote Link to comment
+the pooks Posted May 25, 2012 Share Posted May 25, 2012 They are facing the wrong direction, so you only get to see the colour of the lights after you have passed through the intersection. This makes negiotiating the traffic lights in Worcester rather complicated and risky. Quote Link to comment
+cincol Posted May 25, 2012 Share Posted May 25, 2012 They are blind friendly. Have an audio sound to indicate green. Quote Link to comment

+cownchicken Posted May 25, 2012 Share Posted May 25, 2012 A piece of trivia: There is a large blind school in Worcester, so the traffic lights emit a variety of unusual sounds to help residents cross the road safely. But, go for it cincol. Quote Link to comment
+cincol Posted May 25, 2012 Share Posted May 25, 2012 The original Blue Train service commenced in 1923 known as the Union Express. At a later date it was introduced as the Blue Train as we know it today. When did this occur? Quote Link to comment
+cownchicken Posted May 26, 2012 Share Posted May 26, 2012 In the 1940's sometime? Quote Link to comment

+Carbon Hunter Posted June 8, 2012 Share Posted June 8, 2012 They liked the Beatles, and named it after the recording studio? Quote Link to comment
+Wazat Posted June 8, 2012 Share Posted June 8, 2012 Cincol, partly right but i will give you the next round.... Aside from Jobs working on an apple farm, their biggest competitor at the time was Atari so in a marketing ploy they decided to use Apple for the reason that Apple would be listed first ahead of Atari in telephone directories....
