    Ebay's Worst Offerings

    My version is a Tesco bag but it is still a bit tight.
  2. Taco bell was one fast food we avoided when touring the West coast. More recently I was working at Lakenheath (US base)...Tacobell next door....avoided over an 18 month period. Popeyes chicken was a different matter. Plus I did get a few T bone steaks for buttons out of the supermarket on site...pretend US accent and pay in $

    Start smelling your steak...Paulus.I reckon Mrs Peter has sneeked the coins and hidden them somewhere. I'm in a good mood as I had a small sniff on Chile tonight and Ascot wasn't bad. Only thing that is going wrong I'm having my 2nd bout of gout in 10 years and I can't drive a car with a clutch...left foot big toe Arrgh.....I can spin this out for a couple more days for footie and racing...cup of tea on the hour and I'm master of the big TV. Hopefully I have a good Contract starting in July. I blame the gout on my eldest daughter who is being trained up as a sous chef at the local Al a Carte. I've been assured gout is one of those things that can be controlled by lifestyle. Cyder vinegar and hot lemon plenty of water OK but,no beer/offal/oily fish. Pleased you got some good results on sales it proves you have a good eye.

    Just An Idea

    Don't overpay...cat price is far too high and I won't recommend a dealer. You will have to some searches....part of the fun. Don't get one with edge knocks....there are plenty about.

    Cast iron VF but not worth much.Very common.Retail about £20. There are 2 types with and without hearts in the reverse shield.
  13. Why sell Spanish coins to a UK market? Spain must be a better choice.
  14. I've been caught out a few times but my best seller in the US who will remain nameless puts down metal discs,gift or cracking farthings...... ...none have been charged. The one problem I did have was the purchase of a Ch 1 shilling and the seller sent me a fantastic James 1 in error...we both had a laugh Vat man made his money I was happy and a new US contact was made...good contact still.

    Interesting piece from Stanley Gibbons

    Stick your money into Quality. VF is bollocks. Come on England I will be too blaugherd soon.Mrs Peter has requested a honey moon shag...that was years ago...prefer a nice hand job with a nice tissue mop up. Spunkie tish

    I hope the slab monkeys don't take over....I promise I will never buy a slabbed coin over £10.

    Diving finds

    I just get a few pubic hairs when diving.
  18. I will stick to M&S apple gatherers My speedo days are long gone. I now get shorts that finish above my belly.(Simon Cowell style)

    And for my next trip.

    So sad but at least he had a good life.We had another cat (SYD) The cats protection people said he was 4 the vet said 10. I like to think his few years with us were happy.He actually died in front of us in his basket....died in his sleep.

    And for my next trip.

    In the 90's I worked on the Limehouse Link doing the Final Account (there were just 2 porta cabins left and the site cats)...being a softy I took cat food in every day and the half dozen cats would rush to meet me when I arrived. Even the feral cats can be nice.Mills our feral cat was a hissy monster and the cats protection people said he would be a handful...not so.

    And for my next trip.

    Cats are the way forward.Our springer still thinks 22kg doesn't hurt your golden balls....just because we snipped him. If he can get upstairs a 5 0'clock lick on the back of the neck is always on the cards....Still waiting for the youngest daughter to get home...we want to bloody go for our long weekend.

    10p - 2p hybrid?
