Hopefully, her psychotherapy.

Swinging Blue Jeans- 🎶 For goodness sake, these are just shitty shitty fakes...🎶 Commodores - 🎶 It's once, twice, three times on Ebay....🎶 I can only apologise.....

"I scammed the Sheriff, but I didn't hoax the Deputy"... ....and so it begins....

....or a rat.......

.....or try the magnet slide test....the eddy currents in silver ( the best conductor) oppose the magnet and it will slide down very slowly. You have to be careful with alloys- it all depend on what the additive metal does with stopping electrons moving about. If copper is 100 conductivity as a datum, silver is 105. Aluminium is around 71. Brass is a _big_ surprise- mainly copper, but the zinc binds the electrons, so it's only around 30 at best.... Solder- lucky to get 10.....

Yes- from about 1969 onwards, I saw loads of late Victorian pennies in change, but only ever one 1894. It's one of those strange dates that doesn't follow the rules.

Yes, but....running microprocessors gulps energy, and that's the problem. Reading a book does not......

I love it when threads wander off into humour. Please Sir, can I have some more?

I can't help thinking about the slope of the '2', and it looks the same on the 'H' ones and the purported 'no H' one discussed above. If you did alter a '3', it would have to already have the same tilt????

I looked at a lot of H examples and they all appear to have the H in the middle or slightly to the right. This one seems, I say seems, to have an 'H' type shape slightly left of centre... The weak '2' is unusual as well....

Yes, I remember that too- so there is definitely only one pairing for the 'No H' type?

Too lovely a coin - good bye.

At the time, the Royal Family tried to cover up HRH's mustard addiction.

It is odd that centimetres seem to get ignored most of the time.....

The US used 16 fl oz to the pint, hence the pint/quart /gallon being .83 of the size of the UK equivalents. The one thing with Imperial is that it evolved to fit humans- some measurements like rainfall end up with double or even triple figures, difficult to envisage, when using millimetres, whereas "Bloody hell, we had 3 inches of rain yesterday" makes sense, especially when the exact amount is not important. '75mm' means '75mm', whereas '3 inches' can often mean an amount that just looks about right, but may be actually 2 3/4" or 3 3/8", but who cares? '75mm' is what a person running a weather station would say, but '3 inches' simply means it pissed it down. You have to look beyond the figures, and how the units relate to people.....:-)

I have about 30-40 bunches of Muscat d'Alexandria grapes sweetening up nicely. I can't eat all of them.......so is there a winemaking member who would like to make some Château Milton Keynes 2021?

Thanks for that- makes sense. I'll try the grape jelly route.....the grapes are delicious, and have that flavour that drinkers of Muscat dessert wine know well, so the jelly should be fab.

My dyslexia has reached a new owl.....

Ha! Not five minutes ago I was thinking 'coin shaves owls' or some such... Great minds etc...

All details lifted from the Baldwin's site...

Not enough CO2 to run hospital machines or make fizzy drinks....that's the trouble with this bloody planet- CO2 levels are dropping and there's nothing we can do.......
