  5. Oh no- I dumps into a download. i'll try something else.
  6. Johnny Vegas at British Comedy Awards 2013 - YouTube.webloc This is a test!
  7. 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?

  9. I was observing the sun through a colander yesterday. I think I've strained my eyes.
  10. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Mystery-Chest-With-50-Rare-Collectible-Items/183627340211?hash=item2ac10ad9b3:g:sxQAAOSw6iZcNUlJ Amazing.
  11. 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?
  12. This kills me every time. 2 tree surgeons in pond (FAIL ALERT) - YouTube.webloc
  13. BIN? As in 'Buy It Now' ?
  14. 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.
  15. Yep, Norfolk- apparently the guy who hacked her account was so pleased he went round high-sixing everyone...:)
  16. I used my Tesco Discount Card to scrape the ice on my windscreen. I only got 10% off.......
  17. 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.....
  18. 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?
  19. Some of my friends have botox, and when I said I might try it, nobody raised an eyebrow.....
  20. Can anyone help explain to me why these pattern were made? They must have cost a bomb to produce then, so why make them? Were they made with any connection to the Mint, or were producers of them hoping the Mint would like the design and take up production for a fee?
  21. Right...thanks....I got confused ( again!) about the rose and shamrock details....duh...
  22. "feedback" is the shortest English word with the first six letters of the alphabet in it..... And you thought Sunday evenings weren't exciting enough......:)
  23. Just got this- cheap and no real excitement, until I looked closer in. I'm crap on 1860's, but this appears to have the dots on the rose leaves like Gouby D, but the colon dots after D:G: to a gap, and D of F:D to a tooth, like Gouby E... The both sides are littered with broken letters too......any views? I'm trying to see if it needs to go in the collection or not and I'm stumped....
  24. Delusional behaviour, and the idea that hope changes reality, used to be only in the deep deep background of society. Now, with every idiot on the web, on the same level as all others, the world is mad. As mad as all back streets in Victorian cities were. I don't waste time worrying or commenting on these idiots. No point whatsoever.
  25. Oooh you could be right Terry - well spotted- I'll dig the coin out when I'm back in the country and have a look. The 1874 group of die pairings is my favourite- (still looking for an F76) so I have a pile of them, so I'll check them too. Maybe this is the die that started to break up until spotted at the Mint. might be interesting to see if the progression is obvious in my pile of spares....
