  1. Ah. I must have only had regular marbles then!
  2. In Liverpool they were "ollies"
  3. "You will receive the coin pictured"..................................................."...if you can track it down and buy it separately"
  4. "What's that?" "A castle" "What's a castle?" "I don't know, why do you ask?" "Ask what?" "I don't know" "What's that?" "A castle"
  5. I turned into my drive and collided with a tree which isn't mine.
  6. yeah - the Pheon is my main cabinet; as you say, lovely little thing.
  7. I worked in Redditch! At a software house that did the programming converting BL systems owned then by BMW, from mainframes to Oracle client/server - and before you ask I was the dinosaur monitoring the mainframes... (αλλά αυτό είναι πιθανώς όλα ελληνικά για εσάς;)
  8. My mistake - I used to live south of Birmingham and in my mental map I was travelling due north on the M5 (really, NE) and therefore north east on the M42 (really, due east). Just goes to show that mental maps can lead one astray! I stand by my Spinal Tap theory...
  9. Obviously created by a Spinal Tap fan. (By the way, the M40 and the M42 merge NORTH East of Brum - the SE is the merge of M42 & M5.)
  10. Not at that price. Yes, it's a nice strike, but anything over £100 for a silver George V florin is pushing it.
  11. I'd suggest they're just flying a kite to see if anyone bites (if you'll excuse the mixed metaphor). I'd say the fact that no-one is watching tells you all you need to know.
  12. that's because it was never a single - just a track on one of the Trojan compilations
  13. Absolutely nothing compared to Wreck A Buddy by the Soul Sisters! "I need a man to wreck ′im buddy. A big, strong man to wreck 'Im buddy. And if he′s ugly, I don't mind - He has a dick and I want to grind I want to grind, I want to grind"
  14. Caravan named one of their albums Cunning Stunts. Mind you, this was the band that had In The Land Of Grey And Pink, and If I Could Do It All Again, I'd Do It All Over You, among others...
  15. I'd say it was a simple and straightforward repunching of the 8 and 6, a very very common phenomenon with early bronze.
  16. I did too and got a very dismissive reply.
  17. Yes, well struck specimens of 1920-1926 are worth getting, as the shallow portrait isn't always well struck, and wears very quickly even where the reverse appears UNC.
  18. Astronomical. Die imperfections I can live with, but not identical digs which - being incuse - cannot have come from anything to do with the die.
  19. They were totally inexperienced and green, so they ended up red-faced and far from 'in the pink'. In fact they were quite blue, and decided to leave to take part in the #BlackBallsMatter protest.
  20. OMG, please tell me that's not real!!
  21. The link isn't a jpeg - it's a webp that my Mac can do nothing with.
