    Concomitant crudities...

    Some ignoramus. Probably American, with all respect to our American friends on here.

    OH pennies are very commonly found with variations of the position of the final digit. Arguably 1899 has the record for most variations. Are they true varieties or just carelessness with punching that final numeral as also occurs on the 1861-63 pennies? However if they float your boat then all power to your elbow.

    The electronic geeks who ran the SU audio would hire out the equipment for the smaller bands whose PA wasn't up to it. I remember they'd set the volume on my amp to quite a modest level using one of the disco 45s. So I learned to give them an Elton John single for that purpose that was a particularly quiet recording, and so I had more to play with than they intended. Luckily they never caught on. 😀

    I agree with most of this, but I am a pedant. 😉 Two of the worst crimes against English are.. the word 'attendee' (who is 'being attended' rather than 'attending'?) - 'attender' please 'electrocution' to mean simply getting an electric shock but not dying. The word is formed from ELECTRICITY + EXECUTION!!

    I saw them 3 times and never disappointed. It must be utterly amazing for Guy Pratt to play bass with them - he was still learning when DSOTM came out and he became a fan!

    What gear do you use?
  8. Peckris 2
    Yes, the 1970 C&M annual indeed. I scanned the whole thing and I have it in Dropbox in case anyone is interested? I was right in that the 7 varieties were reduced to 4 after 12 months. I'm not quite sure what your 'parasites' reference was about - not very friendly whichever way you look at it.

    Is the porcelain edition also available?

    I remember when I was Student DJ in the early 70s, and the equipment I worked with was Quad. About the best you could get at the time.

    It's not optional in the case of something like: my favourite foods are fish, chips and blancmange where it should be... my favourite foods are fish, chips, and blancmange which avoids the inference that I enjoy chips with blancmange, which is how it reads without the comma.

    I've warned him to withdraw these replicas or they'll be reported to eBay.

    Yes, and what a comedown from the 80s when I was a computer programmer for them, and we got generous staff discounts.

    I'd be happy with a paper or digital format.
  15. Peckris 2
    My thoughts exactly.

    I possibly still have the scans of Sealy's full varieties article from 1970? If anyone's interested I could repost if I do have them.
  17. Peckris 2
    I think I posted Sealy's list from a year later (1970) when the number of varieties had reduced to fewer than 7? I'm always suspicious of that era's "blunt" vs "pointed", as they can be put down to wear, either of the examples found or the dies. I'm not sure there is any kind of market for 1957 calm sea varieties, particularly when they are of such a micro nature. I'm happy to have a BU example and don't care which it is, frankly.

    I can see the flaw but wondering where the dot is?
  19. Peckris 2
    Is there a 12 step programme, or is the pub further away than that?
  20. Peckris 2
    Seconded.
  21. Peckris 2
    Well, Burberry's most famous product is their trench coat ... which you presumably had to dig for the Berberis? 😆
  22. Peckris 2
    That's just HORRIBLE.
  23. Peckris 2
    All very sedate. A million miles away from 1967.
  24. Peckris 2
    Both those titles look like great reading.
  25. Peckris 2
    "Lighthouse" has 4 consonants together? Is that one of the 6?
