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?

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.

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.

What I've "got" is that the only 'good' statistics or articles are those which bolster your own position. Everything else can be dismissed. Well, I'm sorry, but your position in relation to blacks is dreadful. I've had enough of it, I don't have the energy to fight or argue as I'm tired all the time now. You can look in the mirror if you need to carry on this 'discussion'.
