    I just noticed this - hmm....is it the same "disturbance in the field" that told Darth that Obi-wan was dead?
  2. That is a _very_ cleaned up version of an actual conversation between Ethel Merman and Ernest Borgnine when they were married....

    MERRY CHRISTMAS TO YOU ALL.

    Oh thank you so much for that idea- I will drive all my family and friends mad with this for the rest of time......!
  4. I've spent the last year collating a huge pile of old stamps and albums that I inherited from three different people, into one coherent set of stock books, to sell. They have a better distribution of older stamps, since some of the old stamp albums were very old. Does anyone on here have experience of selling stamp collections or advice on how/where to sell? I put a couple of sets on Ebay and they went for not much money...

    Stamps

    I got out my schoolboy collection, and filled lots of GB stamp gaps from the mountains of stuff I inherited. There are more gaps to fill, so I'd love to see what anyone has that they aren't needing. I have to keep in mind that the stamp grading system is just as rigorous as the coin one....I wondered why so many of my stamps are worthless, then thought about it....duh....

    Time to wheel out my favourite, I feel:

    MERRY CHRISTMAS TO YOU ALL.

    Ditto to you all. My 2024 wasn't good, and this Forum helped a lot!
  8. Watched 'Quatermass and the Pit' the other day- fantastic! Interesting dialogue exchange in the middle: Professor Bernard Quatermass : Roney, if we found out the earth was doomed, say, by climatic changes, what would we do about it? Dr.Matthew Roney : Nothing. Just go on squabbling as usual.

    Plus ça change.....

    That makes me feel better- they wouldn't let me watch it either......!!!

    Did I miss something?

    Wow! Was it correctly identified as such when it was sold?

    Ah- but isn't that where the real fun is?

    I sometimes wonder whether, if I won the lottery and bought a big pile of rarities at an auction, which lets face it, is rather easy to do, I would get half the pleasure that I get from finding a worn rarity at the bottom of an old tin of crap like has happened on occasion...... ...and I can show off the found gem on here, instead of just hiding a pile of expensive bronze in a bank vault where no-one can see them.....

    stolen

    Mathematics is hard. The athletics is on the telly. Both singular, hence 'is', not 'are'. When you abbreviate it, you shorten the word. For some reason, maybe just because of the sound, the English keep the 's'...

    stolen

    Ha! One of the few things they have got right.....! The other one i noticed was inTrader Joe's supermarkets where the sign in the till lane said "15 items or fewer".....
  16. Should we all carry "RarestPennies" cards?

    stolen

    Think they said each wheel was about 23kg, so the math works...

    Yeah- it was next door to no.38, but 39A is the maisonette round the back.....

    Thanks! I don't see why you would bury such a collection inside a General Sale! Lot 207, the last on the page, makes no sense as regards description and the two ( different) coins pictured. The F69 estimate seems very low too!

    stolen

    22 tonnes was reportedly stolen, and at the retail price of that stuff, the total is way over £300k...

    'Polishing the Planchet' is an album by XTC....
  22. Don't worry- not a problem- if you take on something that proves too big to handle, you learn a hell of a lot about yourself and other people., which is always a good thing. We had some great parties there!
