  1. They can keep their darn corona virus . Everything else they exported was quite useful though
  2. Have seen hacket a few times prob 3 but not since the late eighties , hes done some great stuff over the years though its less commercial than phil or genesis
  3. I saw the live in rome one Too add to this I have seen genesis six or so times and apart from the great music of course the majority of the fun of the show came from phil collins as really you never got much movement from any member other than phil who made up for the rest of the band just standing there playing. You remember the funny stories the dashing around and playing up to the fans , it is true he has health problems and uses a walking stick now , well he cannot help that now can he , not many 69 year olds are in great health , I am sure it will just not be the same and I am better off not bothering . I could be wrong
  4. Whats "the Brazillian" I wonder , apart from the obvious ?
  5. Thats true . All genesis members are not hard up , all are millionaires tony banks is probably the least well ,of as he never had much of a solo career mike and phil prob the richest due to live work and income song writeing . Sacking bill bruford and getting phils son to play on drums , I wonder which band member thought of that? I surpose they need the money for safaris and cruises it must be hell being that poor
  6. Mr plod sez "Elo, elo ,whats going on here extreme profitering on concert tickets tut tut"
  7. Roundhay park always had major issues with security , in the end artists would not plays there or avoided the place , it really was only football grounds and insicure parks in those days . glastonbury was also pretty easy to get in for free for many years , till they beefed up security around the year 2000
  8. I would have thought more like £17.50 - that was the first secure concert at roundhay park , all concerts before then were a piss easy to get in I got in the stones in 1983, was it? for free was only outside for five minutes and someone opened a side gate and it got rushed I think 50 or 60 got in free
  9. Sorry its a Nae from me with tickets starting at £240 ,£500 for two people to be entertained for two and a half hours no thanks Knebworth was less than a tenner MR GRUMPY
  10. Well I never knew that , there again most galata books tend to be of limited runs and are quite expensive
  11. Years ago these were seen as worthless as they are plentyful and have few fans - I have a whole tray I have saved from coin fairs over the years , I bet there are some great stories to be told about many of them . The main thing missing is a cataloge giving info - I dont think anyone is working on one at the moment - such a pity
  12. Spade guinea fake counter from the victorian period - worth around 50p -£1
  13. I must admit the films only existed to sell the cars to the rich why not choose something like Ernst Stavro Blofeld as a classic baddie we all remember him meeeeowwww
  14. Yep seas all full of plastic and rubbish these days , fish die when they eat it
  15. People used to give them away - they sell for £2 each now
  16. Rare old coins are usually covered as long as they are not legal tender
  17. Nicer place than the northwest , I am having similar probs here been in six months, at least the northwest is famous for its rain esp cumbria. Thank god I managed to get our new shed up in the only month there was little rain august
  18. Oz is welcome to all this rain we have had this year.......I am totally sick of it........September- feb rain rain rain
  19. Thats why a first class letter goes up 6p next month , I surpose
  20. Acetone and a cocktail stick with a couple of hours and a powerful glass should get rid
  21. That's why the royal mail makes big profits now instead of serving the pubic with a essential service
  22. I must be honest I have never seen a brass coin - that will be the next one I buy , hopefully , by the price it looks quite common
  23. From the book above what are the two grade prices please ? It does not give a grade or even a year for the values , to know the year its published would be very usefull I would guess VF and EF though its only a guess
  24. I love the idea of "Leather sauce" some sort of early boot polish I would think - great name.
  25. I have this one as well _ i am not sure really if these are actual circulating coins or advertising pieces , but it does not seem to matter they are lovely pieces of social history
