As an aside. I took my 81 year old mother shopping tonight and all she could do is praise my sister who lives 200 miles away and that I don't do enough for her. I've decorated her bungalow,sorted a new bathroom and phone her most days.Shop every week. My wonderful sister buggered off 30 yrs ago. She comes down about every 6/8 weeks and take her out for a meal and maybe a bit of gardening work.Mum has enough £ to employ gardeners odd job men It was the same with my mothers parents.One of her sisters went to Auz and the other to US. My poor dad was left in charge,walking their dog,shopping,bingo lift. BUT.............Tonight she said I can buy a £500 coin because I'm not a bad lad...I didn't see that coming.

I had the same issue in Safari on my Mac. Then I found a extension which blocks all plug-ins but leaves its window there just grey with HTML5 or FLASH on top. If you click the window, the content then downloads. Which means you can ignore ALL ads!

This one arrived today. It is a Notgeld type piece from 1923, commemorating the 700th Anniversary of the city of Peine. It's one of the nicer pieces of blue toned copper in my collection, with booming luster and a lovely design. Cheers, Brandon

Well, as might be guessed, I do quite like the Nicholas Briot based portrait of Charles First ... .
