I wish I'd been a second-hand car salesman, but you can't turn the clocks back.

Pretty North Wales Halfpenny Conder token, new this week

Just one Cornetto, give it to me, delicious ice-cream, of Italyyyyyyyy

*I* wish I'd worked in a dairy, but there's no use crying over... [hah, you saw that one coming a mile off]

Had to laugh at this - a 21st century version of the 1962 Bernard Cribbins classic "Right Said Fred"

Had this arrive from Australia- the seller couldn't work out why anyone would pay AU$30 shipping on an AU$2 coin.... then he looked closer, realised what it was, but said it was his mistake and honoured the deal!!! His Ebay name is 'the_jittery_horse'- a real honest seller!

Totally agree with Nons on the wordpress recommendation, I do exactly the same. It also helps with posting pics on here, I just copy/paste them into a reply such as this one! Here's another newbie I'm quite pleased with, could do with less bag chatter though ...

Re-arranging trays is the bane of my life. OCD eventually kicks in.

I'm afraid that's not going anywhere as it has settled in quite comfortably between the 1845 and 1853 copper proof. And I don't want the hassle of rearranging the trays.

I'm late to this thread, but here's a bit more info about my own job and background. I did Maths and Sciences for A-levels but then did a Law degree. I really enjoyed the study of Law, but didn't think that working in the legal profession would interest me enough (although at that time, virtually all the interesting work was in London and I didn't want to live in London). So I graduated from Cambridge and took a job as a cashier in a betting shop 😀 This rekindled my love of probability and statistics, and I then took a job training as a Chartered Accountant with one of the big firms, in Bristol. Again, the study was interesting but I left as soon as I qualified, and got out into the business world. I have spent the last 20+ years in a variety of companies and roles, but always as a forward-looking analytical problem-solver. These days I am an interim and have been in and out of work rather than having a secure and stable job. But I solve commercial business problems with data, logic, algebra and creativity 😄 I have retired from several non-work lives too. I used to represent GB at Orienteering at under 21 level, used to be a national standard athlete on the track and the road until my body gave up aged 37, and am probably retired from being a comic performance poet (although I was brought out of a 4-year slumber earlier this year when I was booked for a music festival. Toyah was in one tent, I was in the other!). I won the UK Allstars Poetry Slam in 2012 which was the biggest event of its kind in the UK in terms of a paying audience. This is what I used to do...

No chance!
