Date:10/7/2004 5:58:22 PM Author:mattc005 So... your skills on paint are revealed! Now what about a map for the entire soon-to-be-METRO and NLR and Train system? That'll be a challenge! 'As I've got not much to show you tonight...' < That's not proper grammar! It should be 'Since I do not have much to show you tonight...' And I'm sorry to say my friend... the days when

Thanks for the comments xiziz, appreciated! The towers had only just been built hence the no road connection zots..... Mattc005 - thank you for your assortment of comments! First of all - check the last page - I sacrificed some very ugly industries for those towers..... Second of all - that's life in Norwich and everywhere else - like a rollercoaster ride! Abandonment is good because it shows you all how bad I am at this game. Third of all - slip of the tongue - my sincere regrets. Tubes are for the science labs. Fourth of all - I can't just go around deleting things just because they look hideous! Can I delete the town of Ipswich? No. Ben Affleck? No. Fifth - we don't have beaches on rivers in the UK. The water is too toxic to touch. Grammar - your time will come smart-arse...... Good work - thanks! AND thanks for your contribution to the below...... As I've got not much to show you tonight - I thought I'd drop these in - some progress on Norwich METRO..... The City Line cost the city

Petronas Towers Complete Hi everyone, just to show you the finished project in Central Norwich - Petronas Towers. This is one of many ongoing projects in the city to increase tourism and maximise commercial and residential space. An aerial view with many new commercial and residential towers built simultaneously..... And the beautiful parks and walkways in the shadow of the twin towers. The red tube station in the pond at the front of the building will be one of many such red stations throughout Norwich - all those on the Central Line, which is planned to stretch from the extreme east in Maidenwell to the extreme west in Oakhill, will have this instantly recognisable livery in an attempt to make the network tourist-friendly..... Many thanks - comments welcome! Thanks dudyconstructor for your kind comment. AND welcome to page 13!!!!!!!!!!!!! A

Oil And Petroleum Leaders Tap Into Abundance Of Human Resources - Malaysian Giants Petronas Set Up New HQ In Central Norwich Good evening everyone, a brief update to show you a new development in Central Norwich. PETRONAS, short for Petroliam Nasional Bhd, is Malaysia's national petroleum corporation established on 17 August 1974. Wholly-owned by the Government, the corporation is vested with the entire oil and gas resources in Malaysia and is entrusted with the responsibility of developing and adding value to these resources. Since its incorporation PETRONAS has grown to be an integrated international oil and gas company with business interests in 35 countries. As at end of March 2004, the PETRONAS Group comprised 93 wholly-owned subsidiaries, 19 partly-owned outfits and 55 associated companies. The Group is engaged in a wide spectrum of petroleum activities, including upstream exploration and production of oil and gas to downstream oil refining; marketing and distribution of petroleum products; trading; gas processing and liquefaction; gas transmission pipeline network operations; marketing of liquefied natural gas; petrochemical manufacturing and marketing; shipping; automotive engineering; and property investment. The company has bought an area of run-down industrial developments in Central Norwich, close to the junction of the A13 (east-west) and the A147 Inner Ring Road, which runs north and south across Chapelhurst Bridge..... Mayor George said: This is a very exciting day for everyone here in Norwich. To have a foreign government invest in our city like this is evidence that Norwich is very much the place to be, and further underlines our ambition to make this city the business capital of the world. He added This, among other projects such as Norwich Metro, will make Norwich the most unique and attractive city in the world. The purchase of the land cost Petronas

SOCCER SUNDAY Good evening all and we report to you tonight on the match between Parkstone Rangers and Bradwell. It was a scrappy affair with no team ever really gaining the ascendancy over the other. The first incident of any note came after 15 minutes, when a mistake from Brookes in the Bradwell defence gifted the ball to Amundssen. After carrying the ball forward for twenty yards, he tried a low drive but scuffed his shot badly wide of the goal. With ten minutes of the first half remaining Bradwell produced some neat passing, only for Hasluck to see his stinging shot fly straight into the 'keepers arms. Half-time: Parkstone Rangers 0-0 Bradwell. The second half started in similarly frustrating fashion, with both defences definitely having the upper hand over the forwards. Parkstone managed to win a flurry of corners on 65 minutes - the final one produced a stretching header from Davis which landed on the roof of the net. Minutes later Watson made a mazy run in the Parkstone half before being brought down by Davis. The Bradwell man picked himself up to take the free-kick, and sent a curling effort narrowly wide of the left-hand post. The match petered out with both teams failing to create any more real clear-cut chances. Full-time: Parkstone Rangers 0-0 Bradwell. So after that wholly uneventful match the league table looks like this..... So we see that next week's fixtures all take place on Saturday, and the obvious pick of the bunch is the top two clashing - Stokesbury United v Norwich City. Join us next Saturday where we'll have a special match report to see who comes out on top. Thank you and goodnight.

Thanks for the votes and the great comments! So, we now have: a) Norwich Metro (5) b) Norwich Subway c) Norwich Subrail d) Norwich Subterrail (1) e) Norwich Tube (1) f) Norwich Underground (4) g) N.U.N. (Norwich Underground Network) h) NorMet (1) London Wyverns - It doesn't surprise me that it is slightly out of date - this data was obtained probably 2 years or so ago, so I'm sure there would be many changes in that time. Oh well! I will have to update my list but it's a very large job, as you probably suspected!!!! Thanks again to all! A

SPORTSCENE Good afternoon everyone. I'm here to round up this afternoon's football fixtures in the Simtropolis Football League Norwich District. Clarendon Athletic maintained their unbeaten record with a tense goalless draw at Barton Hatch Rovers. Meanwhile, the top two both lost their 100% records - Stokesbury United picking up a valuable point at East Statham while Norwich City will be slightly disappointed to only gain a 1-1 draw at home against Maidenwell. Salham moved into fourth with a solid 2-0 home win over Pentney. Possibly the best performance of the day saw Norwich United, much improved on last season, come away from Swanton with a 3-1 win. Classified results and league table..... Yes, in tomorrow's feature match we run the rule over bottom-of-the-table Parkstone Rangers and find out if they might have what it takes to be successful in this league.

Date:10/2/2004 11:27:03 AM Author:mattc005 what do you want from me now? I've run out of comments so how does the queen feel about having a highway in her backyard? This is a truly inspiring journal.... if you get to the top 20 population wise, then it'll be more then impressing... Might I say that the water colour changing from Oakhill to the not-yet-built city towards the left is ugly... just go into it and save it to fix the water colour... please!! Umm... yeah quote> I'm afraid the Queen didn't get a choice in the matter - Mayor George rules the roost, so to speak! Water? You're just nitpicking now aren't you??!!!! Thanks for the bunnies again - and everything else you've helped me with - your support has been crucial to me - I just wanted everyone alse to know that as I know you do already! A
