Paul Atroshenko

Submitted by Bob Tatz on

When I first opened this post today, and clicked on "What's New", I was surprised to see quite a lot of information from Paul Atroshenko as I knew this family quite well. However, when I went back into that page a second time, there were no entries on this subject. I tried this everal times with the same result.

Dave, can you show me how to get around this problem?

Giant stick-insects in Hong Kong

Submitted by Richard Muirhead on

I have today read about a giant stick insect seen in Hong Kong by a Mt Nicholson bird watcher, Clive Viney,in 1988 that measured 12 inches long and a leg to leg measurement of 22cm. The body length of 12 inches is just 2 inches short of the world record of 14 inches,also in China. 

Does anyone have any similar stories of giant HK stick insects?

 

School run from Kowloon to Victoria 1909-1913?

Submitted by jill on

What would have been the method of transport and timing from Fairview, Nathan Road, Kowloon to St Joseph’s College and back from 1909-1913? I know that my uncle, Leslie Warren, attended St Joseph’s during this time and I also know that my grandparents were living at 4 Fairview, Nathan Road, where my father was born. It doesn’t seem a very practical journey, but perhaps I'm wrong.

HONG KONG POLICE MAGAZINE

Submitted by Richard Muirhead on

I was at the British Library in London in late May `15 looking through their collection of the Hong Kong Police Magazine from the early 1950s to 1970. It provided a fascinating and often humourous glimpse into colonial  policing during that era. It was also bi-lingual but I cannot read Chinese. I was actually looking for unusual fauna-related stories and I wasn`t disappointed, I found an account of a Chinese Giant Salamander which I vaguely have a memory of seeing before but it was good to see again.

Anti-spam and content approval

Submitted by Admin on

You've probably noticed that the spammers have been busy on Gwulo lately. I've just made a few changes that I hope will cut down the amount of spam you get to see. One side effect is that when you next post to the website, you may see a message:

Your new post is awaiting approval from the administrator. Once approved it will be published to the website.

I'll get an email alert and will publish the post as soon as possible. Once I've published, you shouldn't see the message on future posts.

If anything isn't working as expected, please let me know.
