Be a contestant for a new TV quiz show

Does your knowledge span the globe? If you fancy
yourself as a modern-day Marco Polo, and have the geographical,
cultural and scientific knowledge it will take to get around the
world, then Emma at Meridian TV wants to hear from you!

She is working on an exciting new quiz show and is
scouring the planet for the person who knows most about our planet.
Could it be you? The Beetle has already taken part in a pilot, and
sadly has to report that she was not the winner - but it is a lot of
fun and you get to meet some really interesting people - and the TV
crew are quite nice too! It's a great opportunity!

If you have global general knowledge, think
you could be the 8th wonder of the world, live in the UK and would
like to take part, then please contact Emma by e-mail on
thomase@meridiantv.com or call on 02380 712 118.

by the founder of the Globetrotters Club back in 1945. Norman now
recommends people to take independent bicycle trips around the world.
Have a look at his site! He is happy to give independent and
impartial advice on bicycle trips.

Frank from Alabama says that he uses Velcro on his
trouser pockets.

He also carries a wallet in his back pocket. It
contains two dollars, that is two one dollar bills, between them he
has newspapers cut to same size everything in a plastic bag.

In the bag he has Swiss Blue, a chemical, when it
comes into contact with hands etc. it turns a very bright
blue/purple. It will ruin clothing and anything else that it
touches.

Nothing too good for the thieves is his motto!
