Isn't this an exact copy of a previous equally dodgy message? loop7uhand5 anyone considering your offer would need your address, phone number, an email address that is not from a free provider, ebay id and all information you can give to verify your identity. Unless loop7uhand5 can post verifiable info, don't anyone think about it!

When I drove 800 miles from Rochester to Chemnitz in Germany via Delft in the Netherlands I got caught on a speed camera just around the corner from my destination in Germany! With about 2 miles left I got caught on a speed camera, can you believe it! We got a photo in the post today. I was doing 64KPH on a 50KPH stretch of road. Fortunatley, the German police aren't the money grabbing &%*!?@+ that the UK police are sometimes claimed to be, and this will cost me a mere EUR25.00 (£16.66) and no points.

If I'd known you could have taken a couple of my books for him. He wanted to see them and I'm not sure if he has yet.

You never did join my affiliate/accessory scheme did you? (posting in one area is sufficient)

Thankyou.

I remember in the South East it was very well promoted in every pub window. It means people go and buy Guinness even if most people aren't Irish. Although it seems everyone has Irish in them. Those Irish certainly knew how to spread themselves around the world.

There's a business idea: Mormon Wife Slabbing. Send a wife off, get her graded and encased in plastic. The higher the grade, the better wives you can swap for. For an MS70 you should be able to swap for at least 10x VF35's! Or, you could take an attractive looking raw wife, send them off to be graded, and if they come back less than AU58, simply pay for plastic surgery break them out, and re submit them. I can just imagine the slabbed wife trade on eBay would bring their servers to a standstill.

That's because you spelt 'colour' the American way. No, not really, it's because there is a size limit so people don't go posting whoping great 1mb jpg's and using my precious bandwith.

By the way, I found out a month or so later that I'd got done twice on the originally mentioned journey from Kent to Chemnitz! This time though, two policemen turned up on my door (in Germany) because I gave them the UK address hoping it would put them off! It didn't. This one was EUR250.00 and 3 German points! The good thing is that German points will never affect me because I have a UK licence, and the DVLA don't get to know about them, so the points were rather pointless. I wondered then about what fun it would be to collect points from as many European countries as possible.

I read 1984 the other month. Well, it's certainly a clever futuristic look at what could have happened if Communism had taken over the world. Well written, as you would expect, and I enjoyed it. I will say though, that the way it ended was disappointing. In the end Winston was found out and almost tortured to death until he towed 'the party' line, which he eventually did and so did his girlfriend. It would have been great if they could have found the rebels and changed the world, but I suppose some books have to have a non hollywood ending or they'd all be the same!

I'll take the credit for that compliment. But in a BBC style, you patrons really do make it what it is! (S-J, did you find my bit about being possessed by the devil on at least 3 occassions yet? Actually I should have listed that as a pastime too)

That's a good point actually. When people tell others about their hobbies, they mention nice things: Natural history, swimming, football, old cars, going for walks and all that kind of rubbish. People rarely have the guts to say what they're really into: Cross dressing, strip clubs, older women, younger men, being the only gay in the village and such like! We should all join up with annonymous ID's, that could be fun! Mind you, there are of course young people in here. (and 2 or 3 of those things in the second paragraph I want no part of)

Feel free to bid then!

ooops. thanks.

You've gone and ruined it now, with your concept and in depth grasp of trainspotting!! Young Miss S-J will be back here, take one look at that, and start to think once again, along the lines of her first insticts! (S-J, he's not with me. I don't know who he is, he just wandered in one day.)

It'll be sorted by denomination, they always have been. Treasury notes first, then early BofE, then post 1925 BofE by denomination.

Oh there are plenty of planks out there S-J. I think most of us here are non nerds. I'm the coolest though

And Oli is 16!! You can smoke and have sex all day long today, in front of your parents, and there's nothing they can do about it!

Ok, berg, well let me know how you get on. We'll find a way.

No sign of him so far. I expect he is endeavoring to do those things set out in my first post!

(boastfully in a very immature fashion) I do a BBC 3 Counties phone-in on coins for up to 2 hours every month, broadcast from Luton.

Yes, of course you can use a credit card. Go here: http://www.predecimal.com/secure/paymentcustom.htm It links to Worldpay for the sensitive bits.

Yes, I can imagine! Well then, I won't say a word.

I think it's just a case of what most people find first. And once you're established with a few contacts it's difficult to change.
