The unofficial motto of the French Navy is: “To the water. It is time” Or to put it in French: “À l'eau, c'est l'heure”

I knew a similar feller. He kept birds of prey but lost his falconers glove while out walking in Hyde Park one autumn day, so had to try and find it by sucking up all the dead leaves. Yes, that's right. Our kestrel man hoovers in the park...

Oh my, my sides are aching. Has anyone received one of those emails claiming to have recorded footage of you, via your webcam, masturbating to porn sites, and threatening to send it to all your contacts? I just received one from some ignorant Indian (predicable) chancer, those guys need to get a life, saddos. I told him to send it to the Daily Mail as they are dumb enough to pay for videos and I'd have my 15 minutes of fame at someone else's expense. I seriously wonder if anyone actually falls for that crap?

Presumably the batter ... or the battee to the pitcher 😆

In a hotel bedroom I hope , we have no wish to see that happening at the midland coin fair

Yes. In baseball, they have a 'Pitchee'.

In the British Army two Corps have the motto "Ubique" The Royal Artillery and the Royal Engineers. For the Engineers it means "Everywhere" in recognition of the fact that they have been involved in every conflict since time immemorial. For the Artillery, however, it means "All over the place"...

Hmm, I don't find the eBay bargains or even the quality that I did some years ago. But this thread came off the rails IMO. The question is: how, if at all, is the current virus situation going to affect the coin market? And in fact, my guess is that there is a bit of the ostrich head in the sand bit until the reality sets in. In other words, the tale is yet to be told but without being a stick in the mud, this IS going to have affect eventually and the question is when?

We're keen on ornithology and keep a few birds of prey, but one of these raptors will only exercise at night to 80's music. Our Kestrel Manoeuvres In The Dark.

I don't know - the contents of my fridge are pretty shocking.....

I don't keep my electricity in the fridge.

I know. Irritating though it is, it was the best I could find on casual search.

I believe there is a small minority who self-abuse at coin sites - the 1933 penny has a lot to answer for. I've even splashed out on the odd rarity myself.

Some ignoramus. Probably American, with all respect to our American friends on here.
