Just listened to Folklore by Big Big Train. Not sure....like Peter Gabriel decided to do Folk..... I played something I hadn't played for years, tonight....The Night, by Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons. Phenomenal.

...Moses supposes erroneously.....

Every year I warn people about the Microsoft Advent calendar, and how you don't open windows 8 or 10, but does anybody listen????

ooh...new one on me- picture? Unknown but not unloved....

I totally agree. Period.

ooh.....the dot thickens....

So it did evolve.....!

Please- a pic of the round dot one...that will rather help this thread!

Cool ! I think it's ok to send those. I've tried Caesalpinia Pulcherrima but the same story. It's the dry light overwintering that's the problem. I have a Caesalpinia Gilliessii outside in a border, and amazingly it's done three winters so far. All I do is cover it up, leaving a clear bag at the top so light gets to the shoots. It hasn't flowered yet. I live in hope, with it having a bigger root run- all the info I can find from places like Florida is that it won't flower in a pot.... I've never managed jacaranda flowers either, but they only flower on last year's growth, so the damn things have to be bigger than a greenhouse, and the fact that they make a right mess doesn't help.

I have seen a couple of early flaw 1897 ones on ebay, but the 1870 and 1875 cannonball I have have perfect round dots. I haven't seen nascent versions of these, but, conversely, I haven't seen the 1946 turn into a round dot. Or was the flaw noticed before it had time to develop? It all rather reminds me of the VIGTORIA 1862- I find it more than a coincidence that it occurs right next to a know progressive die flaw, combined with the fact that there seem to be different styles of 'G', often not the font used on the rest of the coin.....

Wow-wow- wow...... how annoying- I've tried to grow them here, but wherever you overwinter them, it's always just too damp and they give up...! I feel the same today....

..and in the early 80's, in Kidderminster, Carl Rice married Denise Curry. Still married, as far as I know.

I know that estate agents have a reputation for charging a lot for not doing much, but in Kidderminster, for decades now, the main estate agents have been Doolittle and Dalley.

Not forgetting Angus McCoatup

I had a customer years ago- nice guy- called Anthony P. Bacon. Oh please God why not Christopher???? Somewhere there is a Russel Sprout.

So well put.

"How the hell is this worn??" was my initial thought. This is one coin that attracts me. With funds, anyone's collection can be amazing. Spectacular circular pieces of art. All the specimen and proofs in the back of the books have never ever attracted me. If you are rich, you can almost just go and buy them whenever you want. That's not really collecting to me. Not jealousy, just fact. However, the frisson of excitement the first time a collector noticed this must have been amazing. Now I'm jealous. ....what a story this coin could tell, and how many times did it slide across a shop counter right under the nose of an avid penny collector, (as the child in front bought a quarter of acid drops, ) but showing 'tails'........????

Had her...

Finland, Finland, Finland...

Exactly. They seemed to actually prefer all the risks and being under the radar, just to maybe ( 1% chance ) getting more cash... Madness. Ten seconds of thought would have made all this crystal clear.

It's amazing the lack of thought immediately after the digging stopped. They could have had half the value between them, yet would have ended up with less than that, going down the 'clever' route. This is, of course, assuming that the Police don't get interested, and they couldn't have done anything with any money they got because the Taxman will find out. If they'd used their brains, right now they could be heroes, doing lectures at detecting clubs, have helped in the story of this island nation, and they could have done doughnuts outside the tax office in ferraris and the taxman wouldn't have been able to do anything. Instead, they are known as greedy twats, and have nothing to show for it, not even their liberty.... All this type of story does is increase one's resolve to keep doing things properly, and it brings a lump to my wallet.

If I had all the money I've spent on drink................I'd spend it on drink.

You ain't seen me.... right?
