  1. Some young people's view of coins is one of seeing them as very uncool. I saw two teenagers leaving the corner shop up the road last year throw their change on the floor as they left....
  2. oh wow- I have a B40 and an R107T as well...
  3. Actually, Rob, it's a bit seasonal. Just before Christmas last year I did a bottle count in the house and it was 208. My record. I make up beer boxes for friends and clients, each tailored to thier tastes. Some Belgian, Orval etc, or Matilda from Goose Island, the only two beers that use that type of brettanomyces yeast as far as I know, Matilda being licensed from Orval, and a ton from Bewdley Brewery, Gower Gold, and a big pile from Orkney. I've never had a failure with Orkney's "Northern Light", it's universally liked, particularly in the summer, and I adore Puffin with cheese, Dark Island with powerful cheese, and I like to share a bottle of Dark Island Reserve which is Dark Island left in a whisky barrel for a year. 10%. Amazing amazing flavour. If you like good beer, you must order one. Very easy to get a delivery straight from the brewery. Also used for jump starting trucks.
  4. When I drink too much of it the police put me in the AA cell. Double joke. You're welcome.
  5. It's expensive to ship in- you pay exide duty on it. See what I did there?
  6. All beer is like that Rob. I personally prefer "afters":
  7. ...and as you can see, this part of the garden is a place of quiet contemplation.....
  8. I've just formed an end-of-season football harmony group, called Manhattan Transfer Window. You're welcome.
  9. Not much fun in Stalingrad, no. You need the A361, Barnstaple section....
  10. I told my wife this looked great and she suggested I was losing it....
  11. I'd love to know how those figures were obtained. I got my 1890 'low 90' courtesy of a tip off from Mike Hopkins, a rather nice humorous gentleman ( "1949 Threepence" ) who frequented this site until we lost him a couple of years ago. I wish we'd met.
  12. Good job I didn't mention the dirty knife....!
  13. I had a bottle of benzene as a child for showing watermarks on stamps.
  14. Those HEIC files are a pain- and I only use a Mac! People don't set phone pictures to formats other people like. Size problems on posting pictures is an easy fix- email to to yourself, setting the image size you need, then drag out of the email you receive into your post. That's all I've ever done- no extra programs needed either.
  15. Maybe it's me, but it's only a short time ago that members were talking of the lack of activity on the forum, as if it was stagnating, and now we have a pile of new members turn up recently.....good to see....
  16. Brisbane iswghere it;s from, by coincidence. Your soil looks good there John. I have some Ceasalpinia and some Delonix seedlings growing to try again- left over seeds from the batch you sent me!
  17. I remember Terry Wogan interviewing her in a right obsequious manner and she wasn't having any of it. She was terrific!
  18. I've just read that there's a Yellow Ice Warning in place for the UK. Sounds revolting.
  19. ...and no it doesn't ****ing work....:-(
  20. I have a cheap 10" Dobsonian. And before Copper 123 jumps in yes I do tell that to all the girls at parties!!!!!!!!!!!!!
