Apart from all the truly innovative, and downright entertaining, work he gave us himself if it hadn't been for him so many of us would've remained ignorant of the Velvets, Stooges, Mott, Jacques Brel etc. etc. His influence on us Liverpool kids of the 1970s can't be overstated. We all, boys and girls, both, wanted to be like him. Here's a recently rediscovered performance of The Jean Genie from a 1973 episode of Top of the Pops. LIVE, remember, not mimed. Outstanding. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yEmGQYCuc6M

I am going to send your wife flowers, a bottle of Prosecco and a Dirty Dancing DVD to persuade her into dragging you to Spain during the first week in March. Far too much competition for the next LCA

Hi Matt, it's a simple cheap desk lamp like this: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Lloytron-L961BK-Flexi-Desk-Black/dp/B002TLC3EY/ref=sr_1_7?ie=UTF8&qid=1452511686&sr=8-7&keywords=desk+lamp The rest of the room is lit by daylight through the windows, or a ceiling lamp, it doesn't seem to make any difference. Hope that helps

Hi Prax, great to hear from you, and that is a lovely penny, I'm still after a decent one of those. I don't know if you come to any of the South Wales and Mon Numismatic Soc meetings, but I an giving a short presentation on the Victorian bronze pennies at the Feb meeting, might be quite local to you, nothing new or earth shattering, they are just desperate for speakers and I got volunteered. Will try to bore them with micro varieties. Jerry

Welcome back Prax and all the best. Hope your ok and miss you not posting. Nice penny aswell If its any consolation although the wife keeps going to spain there always seems to be things that keep me here.

Yes. That worked!

Yes, just read the article by Peck in the November issue. Excellent .

Good write up Peck .....Hat off. Bobs mule penny mentioned on the ebay page also.

With a little smelting it might be possible to restore it by - converting to a bronze ingot, which could then be rolled, annealed, cut to make a blank and the detail repunched using the RM's dies from the museum. There is an easier way..................

That's really pleasantly written, Peck, a very nice style! A pleasure to read, Sir! A pleasure indeed! Well done! A nice thing to have on your site, Mark! Great stuff all round!
