I used to like that song... 'Since you've been gone', we used to sing it at college.

i have one with that wording Chris, yes Victorian gaming tokens. They had an obsession with Spade guineas

could you just email me and tell me where to go too... i do remember going on the siote origninally but i got a bit confused and lost...

God it was only an example i wasn't getting technical...

Well to be honest the grades are already there but they aren't used all too often. UNC, ABU, BU, Gem UNC, Gem BU, Practically as Struck, As Struck, Mint State. Most of those could go in different places on the MS60-70 scale... MS = 70, As Struck 68-69, Prac. A S = 67, Gem BU = 66, BU = 65, ABU = 64, Gem UNC = 63, UNC = 60-62 Not perfect but it there.

Oh right...

Oh come on Chris i do check this forum daily and i do try and answer questions where i can... it's just i've had alot on lately.

I've had a very busy day today... so i'm not thinking straight... got myself a new coin too! In august i'm gonna get a list drawn up of the sixpences as show in the last edition of CC and i'll start fillig in the prices and then i'll email you it all... ha ha!

I wonder if Acetone is better? Wash them with that... then rinse them with distilled water (you can get that from the chemists), then after that pat them dry on a soft cloth, don't rub.

Okay what have i missed? What are we talking about here? (bearing in mind i'm on about 6 forums here i sometimes skim read posts or not read posts)

Yes due to connections and whatnot it takes longer to get home than it does to get there... now if i could catch the 1.30pm train i'd be home by 2.30pm. But alas no they won't let me. The 2.30's the worst... cos i don't have a connection to that one so when it crawls into Barnsley at 3.15 (as the 3.15 bus leaves)... i have to wait till 4.30 for another bus. You also forgot to add on carparking cost in the multistory carpark... that's if you can get a place in the first pl... and if your car's still there by the time you go back...

Yes well there is that... can i help it if i have a slight issue with certain women? Nope... do i want to help it? Er... nope. Do i want to help myself... (i need a badgrin icon here!!!)

Actually yes i do but as Edward says... no chance for embracing social culture in a car chough, ahem... at least that's my excuse and i'm sticking to it. Mandy Moore? No she's not on my train alas; but there are others...

Wow i thought i'd got it bad... 05.30 wake up. 05.31-05.59 get up. (it takes me a while) 06.00-06.45 get ready, washed, dressed, breakfast, stuff packed etc. (this takes longer) 06.45-07.15 (quick go on the internet). 07.15-c.07.25 (walk to bus stop and wait for bus) c.07.25-07.45 (on bus) 07.45-08.15 (get off bus, go to train station, wait for train) 08.15-08.45 (spending quality time with train) 08.45-09.00 walk to uni (currently work) 09.00-11.50 work 11.50-12.50 lunch 12.50-16.00 work 16.00-16.15 walk to station 16.15-16.30 sit on train waiting for it to start 16.30-17.15 more quality time with train 17.15-17.40 get off of train wait for bus 17.40-18.25 quality time with bus 18.25-19.00 tea 19.00-19.30 Internet 19.30-20.30 Assorted soaps for light entertainment relief 20.30-22.00+ Internet Anytime after 22.00 bed when i'm ready.

Well the Edward's were proclaimed kings not Queens... although now i come to mention it...

the jury's out on that one... She was proclaimed Queen but never crowned, but so were Edward V and Edward VIII. Empress Matilda was accepted as Queen by some but rejected by Stephen's followers and thus is quite often not included in the real monarch list. Despite the fact that she was in a better position than Lady Jane Grey. Jane Grey of course had her followers and was proclaimed Queen... so in theory she probably should be included as a monarch... albeit a very dubious one. The 9 days is what really doesn't help though. And that's Mandy Moore in my avatar (Singer/Actress) [i've heard her sing i can't say i was that bothered, i've never seen her act though)... but with looks like that does it matter?

In shortness... from Æthelred-Elizabeth II (Not looking at any books here, and in Coincraft abbreviation from William I onwards)... Æthelred II, Canute, Harold I, Harthacnut, Edward the Confessor, Harold II, W1, W2, H1, ST/MT, H2, R1, JN, H3, E1, E2, E3, R2, H4, H5, H6, E4, H6, E4, E5, R3, H7, H8, E6, Lady Jane Grey, M1, EL, J1, C1, Commonwealth, C2, J2, WM, W3, AN, G1, G2, G3, G4, W4, Vicky, E7, G5, E8, G6, EZ... It's that simple, i canm even do it with pretty accurate dates. Scottish kings are funnier... (others before like Roberts I-III, and i'm sure there's a David in there) then from about 1406 James I (died in his slippers), James II (Blown up by his own cannon), James III (murdered by a 'monk'), James IV (died at Flodden), James V (Died shortly after a battle, i think...), Mary (got the chop, many times), James VI, Charles I (also got the chop) etc.

Yes i could (i learned that off by heart by junior school... when you spend alot of time reading coin catalogues you soon pick it up), i can do them all from AEthelred II, and probably from Edgar.

We always had dinner at 12.00, until high school and it went to 12.15, collage went to 12.30, uni reverted to 12.15. Although i've had days where i've had no break at all from 11.15 - 4.15

t'is a funny time to have dinner...

Exactly... the stuff spreads and it's very unforgiving. One spot and away you go. Obviously wherever you had put them has exactly the right conditions for verdigris to form and spread. Hang on it wasn't a plastic jar was it...? you mentioned slime (that's not just verdigris i'm thinking).

Unfortunate!

I'll swap America and Russia for the annointing spoon.

Ah that's why the difference... We used to start at 8.55 for registration. 9.00-10.00 first lesson 10.00-11.00 second lesson 11.00-11.15 break 11.15-12.15 third lesson 12.15-12.55 lunch 12.55-1.00 afternoon registration 1.00-2.00 fourth lesson 2.00-3.00 fifth lesson We lost alot of time from lunch... college was different though... really scary. 9.00-10.30 first lesson (first half) 10.30-11.00 break 11.00-12.30 first lesson (second half) 12.30-1.30 lunch 1.30-3.30 second lesson It was nice going to Uni cos i reverted to 1 hour lessons again! (mostly although i did have a 2 hour one).

After Liz Taylor.
