  3. Some tradesmen are having to postpone jobs....... For example, we were supposed to be getting some wiring done, but the electrician called the other day to say he has a bug that he thinks he caught from his last customer while he was fitting their garage lights. He suspects he has car owner virus and has currently gone to earth, resisting the temptation to carry on circulating by staying ohm, grounding himself and in the main switching off. He doesn’t know for sure watt the bug is but is confident it’s not terminal. However, he says he doesn’t want to be a conduit for infection, so he’s decided to conduct himself responsibly and self insulate to avoid giving anyone a nasty shock. I think that’s a positive, so I’m happy to give him a plug.

  4. Interesting - MDCDX, although it works is not a valid Roman numeral. Correct notation would be MCMX. See https://www.numere-romane.ro/convert-roman-numerals-to-arabic-numbers.php for an explanation. Put simply, it is invalid to have a "subtractive group", in this case CD, following a letter for an amount in the same range, in this case D.

  8. I noticed that the reverse R.37 of your example is unfortunately not shown, the document may be incomplete. You have the 'Thatcher' obverse O.24 #46

  10. Category 2 - close facsimiles - is worrying. The other three are easy to identify as gaming tokens.

  11. He needs to show great resistance to going outside especially as going out is kind of hard-wired into our brains.

  12. Challenging times, and being static must be frustrating. Still, a pity he has to re fuse jobs for the time being, and his current financial situation is obviously pretty grim. However, he needs to be patient before switching to something else. Eventually though, he might need to step up to transform his prospects. You never know, maybe one of those light bulb moments might elicit a really good idea - enable him to become a real livewire again. I'd never judge his actions though - always wholly neutral in these things.

  14. It's not that surprising why Mary and Joseph couldn't find room at an inn.. hotels get really busy around Christmas time. Are there a lot of first-person singular objective pronouns in English or it is just me? Why is October 4th a trucker's favorite day? Because it's a big 10-4 good buddy! Dr. Dre may not be a real doctor, but he's performed hundreds of hip hop orations. People are shocked when they find out what a bad electrician I am. Charles Dickens orders a martini. The bartender smiles a big, smug, 'aren't-I-clever smile' and asks, "Olive or twist?" I can't believe they haven't come up with a cure for world hunger yet. I thought it'd be a piece of cake.
