You know, I was mulling that over too, but then this is so crude i can't see any 'State' involvement. Perhaps it's a crude token of some sort, but the numerals do look Eastern Bloc.....

To keep my feet on the ground regarding some Ebay users, I sometimes search for 'chester draws' ( sic) for a laugh.......

Yes, same coin, I thing the pics were taken at different angles. I've been told this morning it's exactly an inch across.

Glad you liked it. It's so worth the wait for the ridiculousness to really build, and everyone is on top form. You would also like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yfawvs5PouA -
Thank you for this. New Decimal pieces aren't my thing, but this is most interesting.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/m00024pp I hope this works. Richard Osman's treatise on 'nuts' is testament to why BBC Radio should be heard by everyone on the planet. Best thing I've heard for months.... -

Lingering afterburn......wonderful. Did the Aussies really try to ban this? It was, admittedly, before their wine industry got good... -

If I try to include an HTML link by using the 'chainlink' symbol, and dragging the link into the box that appears, all seems well until I try to post, and I get the 403 'forbidden' stuff. Is there a bug or have I forgotten how I usually manage it?

Apparently, many years ago a Swiss hotel got fed up with people waking everyone up in the middle of the night by wearing their climbing boots when going back to their rooms, so a sign was put up: 'Please refrain from perambulating the corridors during the hours of repose in the boots of ascension' Marvellous!!! -
How strange- it's working now!! Excellent. Thanks Mike.

Roswell (area 51) Groom lake

Lazar is nuts. I went to Area 51 - just off the 'Extraterrestrial Highway'. I wrote my name on the Black Mailbox, and headed off up a dirt track to the big gates. There was a couple of guys in a pickup watching us with binoculars. Then the gates opened, and a one of those big busses like the US school busses came out, full of personnel, all dressed the same, and all wearing very dark glasses!!!! Like in a film. I mean- c'mon guys...really......??? Watch this: BBC iPlayer - American History’s Biggest Fibs with Lucy Worsley - Series 1- 3. Supremacy.webloc Very interesting.
