Today on the BBC- the commentator on the Ladies Curling said that
during the tricky match our girls were in, they were "trying to be offensive"....
Maybe it was the camera angles, but they looked quite nice......

Trying hard with the title....
I think he hadn't got room for 'Gifted and Black'.......

Aah- just noticed the 'link' logo at the top!!!
Duh

Greetings...I'm on a MacBookAir, and want to add a link in the text to a page on ebay, so you can click on it and bingo.
How do I do that? I've tried everything, but I'm not a computer guy so a reply saying that I should 'format' it, or some such,
means nothing to me....I'm used to just dragging and dropping, and that's that.
I got round the .49Mb picture limit by always emailing the pictures to myself, with the file size on medium.....
regards
Blake

If someone turned up at the stock exchange and chucked £50 on a wild card, knowing nothing about stocks and shares, we’d most definitely call him a fool!
I resemble that remark!!

I've been wondering about this one....
It was the second finest in the CGS Population Report,
and it was noted that no examples were in the Alderley or Norweb collections.
I think it's a Type 5, but I'm not sure.....
It was tricky to get the pictures in focus enough to see the finer detail.
Will the edge knocks detract from its value?
I don't know any more than that- I'm not expecting The Spanish Inquisition....

Let's keep the 666 going a bit longer
A loyal CGS supporter does appear like a devil's advocate at times
Mmm..Devil's Advocaat...my favourite cocktail.
Except Tequila Mockingbird, obviously....:)

A pipe is a hollow bar, and a very short piece of bar is a flat disc, and a disc between some dies makes a coin....
Where do you want to go with this ?
Ha!
Is a saw a very thin file?
Where does one stop and the other start?
Is one car 'traffic'?
Tracy Tools used to do hilarious charts with different bolt types on etc..
All made up and hilarious...perfect for the workshop wall.
I've just emailed them to see if they still do 'em....

Pete- I was going to 'like' your post, but I thought it looked good for you to have a reputation of '666' a little longer....:)
Nice of Mark Florida to show the other side of slabbing......hmmm...maybe, just maybe,
I'd use a certification body, if i was a dealer, but for now I'm really happy with Allen's excellent grading book......

It needs a hole in it to be a washer.
Mind you, a washer is only a very very short pipe......

I had this fall out of a tin of coins today- is it a coin or a button?
it's 26mm diameter, but under 2mm thick.
The crown looks vaguely scandinavian...

Or those alphabet letters in the sweet shop......:)

Slabbed as VF40?
Miaow!!

What I had was a text clipping- a highlighted section from an email....
-
and again-how do I attach something so it is on the page, not zooming into a 'downloaded' file?
-
oops did it again

Got a reply from Pitney Bowes, the US agent who deal with some Ebay sales,
after I pointed out the 5% import tax on coins, and the near on 25% I'd been charged.
The seller's shipping charge was on top, and appears from this that it's the charge to ship
the item to the shipping agent????

I took apart an old disc drive, and got the curved neodymium magnet out.
Sliding a coin down it at about 45˚ really shows up sterling silver from other alloys.
Only pure copper comes close.

I just paid $30 import on a $125 coin.
I've written to Pitney Bowes, who PayPal paid,
asking for information on the calculation,
and I'll let you know what happens....

Oh thank you so much for that.
Best laugh at Bay for ages.
Genuinely surreal......

Hope this attachment has worked- first time....
Descent grade?
That means go down a grade- perhaps by being held in fingers.....!

I went to a good school- it was approved.....
It was rough, though- the only one in our area with it's own Coroner...
