A man told his son that he would give him $1000 if he could accomplish the following task. The father gave his son ten envelopes and a thousand dollars, all in one dollar bills. He told his son "Place the money in the envelopes in such a manner that no matter what number of dollars I ask for, you can give me one or more of the envelopes, containing the exact amount I asked for without having to open any of the envelopes. If you can do this, you will keep the $1000." When the father asked for a sum of money, the son was able to give him envelopes containing the exact amount of money asked for. How did the son distribute the money among the ten envelopes?

All these people have probably formed a bubble. South Sea...

As God is apparently delivering this, the winning bidder may have a long wait...

Serious change of colour here! Which is which, I wonder? https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1749-GEORGE-II-FARTHING/123927592569?_trkparms=aid%3D1110006%26algo%3DHOMESPLICE.SIM%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D20131003132420%26meid%3D57b9f72e87394f1491590889b30afb06%26pid%3D100005%26rk%3D3%26rkt%3D12%26mehot%3Dpf%26sd%3D274326733979%26itm%3D123927592569%26pmt%3D1%26noa%3D0%26pg%3D2047675%26algv%3DSimplAMLv5PairwiseWebWithBBEV1Filter&_trksid=p2047675.c100005.m1851 Sold by Tara Potterr of Potters Antiques, Colston Street, Bristol. Uh?? Surely not... I remember a Potters Antiques in Bristol in the late 60s..

I assumed everyone would already know that!

Britannia's knockers?

small but fertile, you're saying?

Because a penny wasn't nearly enough to pay the ransom!

I've offered to swap a unicorn for it.

Freud would have a field day with the positioning of the lower end - a signal to women?

anyone else having difficulty posting? I'm just getting endless 'Saving...' when I press 'Submit Reply'.

I rather think - though it took long enough - that their ongoing ban from international sporting competition continues to sting them.

On the subject of the egregious Andrew... Does having sex with a 17-year-old American (a minor in the States) in the UK - where it's legal - constitute a crime, or not?

I made a very similar joke in Facebook as friends have arrived back from France by Brittany Ferries!

They did have colour photography in the Edwardian era - but it was expensive and not common; that catalogue probably was tinted but I have to say it must have been an expert job as it doesn't show the usual tinting characteristics.

On the subject of cats...

Another alternative would be to take a still picture then import it into a video editor and add your voiceover.

Yes, most people would grade it EF+ or even AUnc as what at first glance looks like minimal wear may be no more than rubbing from being stored. Nice coin.

I know his brother - Nott-aklew.

On a similar note - if Chris Rea joined Dire Straits, would they become Chris Straits or .......

Very true. But it's a very different kind of mindset, more comprehensible (to me) though moronic, as you say.

Me too - the seller's going to think Christmas arrived early! Mind you, at £1:50 per mat, perhaps not...

I couldn't believe what I saw on the news today - an outraged idiot in the States saying "how dare the government threaten our constitutional rights by telling us whether or not we can go out, whether we have to wear masks. I love the flag and I'm ready to die for it." I have no doubt that more of these idiots WILL die, coughing their guts up and gasping for oxygen while celebrating their 'freedoms'. That kind of mindset is virtually unknown here in Britain. Happily it's not the majority in America either.
