    new 50p

    Thank you for this. New Decimal pieces aren't my thing, but this is most interesting.
  2. Ah- it's the first one after the intro....!
  3. 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....
  4. Lingering afterburn......wonderful. Did the Aussies really try to ban this? It was, admittedly, before their wine industry got good...
  5. Well it's hardly a replacement....
  6. The plumage don't enter into it.......
  7. 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!!!
  8. How strange- it's working now!! Excellent. Thanks Mike.

  12. Oh no- I dumps into a download. i'll try something else.
  13. Johnny Vegas at British Comedy Awards 2013 - YouTube.webloc This is a test!
  14. 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?

  16. I was observing the sun through a colander yesterday. I think I've strained my eyes.
  17. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Mystery-Chest-With-50-Rare-Collectible-Items/183627340211?hash=item2ac10ad9b3:g:sxQAAOSw6iZcNUlJ Amazing.
  18. Sorry Paddy! How do I do it like some above where the youtube picture appears on the page with the play logo in the middle?
  19. This kills me every time. 2 tree surgeons in pond (FAIL ALERT) - YouTube.webloc
  20. BIN? As in 'Buy It Now' ?
  21. 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.
  22. Yep, Norfolk- apparently the guy who hacked her account was so pleased he went round high-sixing everyone...:)
  23. I used my Tesco Discount Card to scrape the ice on my windscreen. I only got 10% off.......
  24. I tried to help her out years ago when she first started- she claimed she was in a fix dealing with a collection of a dying partner. I advised on various penny as to what they actually were- it was all very pleasant, and she was really thankful, and thenall of a sudden I have the most abusive emails I've ever had. When I politely pointed them out to her she was very apologetic and claimed that some guy in Norfolk had hacked her computer.....
  25. Oh wow- thanks for all this, guys. So money was being made making tokens, which funded trials for the new bronze official coinage? Did the Mint take up any of the ideas- I mean, that laureate head- did Moore come up with design before Wyon?
