Help! Who do you know in the world?
« on: August 23, 2003, 06:08:34 »
Fellow posters - for the 40th anniversary poster (which has turned out to be quite a project for me ...), I need to find another few owners. The following 37 countries/regions are covered and most photos have been received:

Argentina
Australia
Belgium
Brazil
Canada
Denmark
Finland
France
Germany
Indonesia
Ireland
Italy
Japan
Kuwait
Lebanon
Malta
Mexico
Monaco
Netherlands
New Zealand
Nicaragua  
Philippines
Singapore
Slovakia
South Africa
Spain
Sweden
Switzerland
Turkey
United Kingdom
US region 1
US region 2
US region 3
US region 4
US region 5
US region 6
US region 7

At this moment I have queries outstanding to (members from) the following 6 countries - I hope they respond favourably:

Estonia
Norway
Portugal
Turkmenistan
United Arab Emirates
Venezuela

Surprisingly, I have not been able to find members in such obvious countries as:

Austria
Cyprus
Egypt
Greece
Hungary
India
Israel
Korea
Luxemburg
Malaysia
Pakistan
Russia
Saudi Arabia
Taiwan
Yugoslavia

Thanks,
Cees

If you know anyone in the countries not covered yet, please drop me an email.

And here's another example of the kind of photos I am receiving:

Warning, this is a silly message of no real value.

Cees:

You sound pretty desperate to fill in the poster. How's this suggestion: I'm soon off to Hungary, Poland, and the Czech Republic for a couple of weeks. I could take my picture in each country next to a cardboard cutout of a Pagoda then you can check off (or is that 'Czech off') 3 more countries. Good idea: Yes? No? :o)

Desparate does not even begin to describe it. But, when the poster is finally gracing the walls worldwide, I know my BS&T will not have been for not.
Yeah, I would like to see you tote that life-size cardboard "Tobacco Brown" around. Let us know the reactions at the airport check-in counter in each country too! In fact, the pictures of the airline attendants when they finally grasp your plan, could make a great addition to the poster artwork ;-)
