I've had several rather less than commendable experiences with Royal Fail in the past few years. A couple of them stand out, the purchase of a Scottish square £1 note from 1909 that seemingly took a long detour for four months about four years ago - I worked with seller, filed a claim got refunded and the out of the blue the parcel showed up and I paid the seller for the note. Then about a year ago a parcel with some 19th century banking memorabilia dropped off the face of the earth in London - same thing, worked with seller got refunded and then like six months later it showed up. What a contrast - I frequently get several parcels, even large parcels from Ukraine all the time with complete tracking and despite the fact they are at war with Russia - parcels come through with efficiency. Ukrposhta is an enterprise that tries to deliver despite the circumstances - Royal Fail is a sad excuse. Now auction purchases from the London auction houses have to come either DHL or Fedex. -
Sorry if l killed the off-topic area of this forum. I'm back for a quick stint and note the thread is dead. Tenuous conclusion: It was a glowing hat, lit up by abundant UV outside. Of course that doesn't sound right when l say it back to myself but the alternative is ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ aliens, paranormal, orbs. To be clear, l didn't climb the tor seeking answers to an existential crisis and so l heard monks chanting and am seeing orbs. I don't buy into Xtianity, l feel sad for the monks that were hung drawn and quartered there, they surely died in vain. Yet honest to God l heard a single note sung by a multiple male voices in unison! As for the orb, l'm not that sure it's a hat. New observation: put it into Pinta (my image editor) and change move the brightness control up and down - you will see the light spread from the rightmost side (by the doorway) increasing leftward. That implies it's an inert physical object from, er, this world. It's hard to get meaningful answers from Google re: "can you cast shadows on a supernatural orb". May try Bing ... -
Yes , royal snail do things like this very often now since they started their double digit price increases about five or so years ago , Disgraceful service -
We’re just getting ready to fly out to Germany for a wedding, so can’t comment at this point. Interestingly, I hadn’t noticed the DIG Galata guide until your post, another book to buy! -
Those little pieces are stunning, I’m so impressed! 🙌 Also, aboutfarthings was very active member on here…last time I contacted him, he’d been swamped with work. Around 25 years ago I used to make little refectory tables from dendro-dated Tudor oak. Great fun! And @Paddy really great point re drilling the die…not sure what Colin (from AF) said, I haven’t looked at @absence of uniformity’s link, yet?
