3 pointsGot a job at a winery and was very unfairly passed over for promotion - probably just sour grapes on my part. Then worked for a brewery where they also ignored me, which made me really bitter. Finally worked for a dairy where I did get promotion. Well the cream always rises to the top. Still a bread and butter job, but I milked them for all the money I could get. That was in 'Uddersfield by the way.

3 pointsi’m applying for the government Thrill-Seekers Allowance- a bit like the Job Seeker’s Allowance, but they push you out of the plane halfway through the interview. Not to be confused with the New Seekers Allowance, where you get the money if you teach the world to sing….

1 pointHad a close look at some of the pennies today, it is my opinion that the F10 E over P is just a complex die flaw. The R over B in REG is probably OK and the die number 2 is nice. Nothing for me to spend my increasingly stretched resources on this time though. Jerry

1 point"I once worked in admin but had a nervous breakdown. " Been there. You earned a rest, you paid your taxes , so why worry? Comedy and music were my crutches. Now you should do the little personal projects you've been putting off for decades. `You could dress in drag, and earn money singing in campsites to keep the midges and mosquitos away. Get ready............ You could call yourself 'Citronella Fitzgerald'.....

1 pointI'm late to this thread - yes, it's Julia Domna; you can make out the MNA AUG to the right of her bust, and just discern the DO to the left. It's her portrait too. I found my first denarius on the spoil tip of an archaeological dig in 1974 - a Julia Domna in VF. Sadly I was a penurious student when I got back to Brum and sold it to a dealer for around £7, a small fortune back then.
