This damned addiction! PM'd.

@COBRASTACKER

May I also have 5 please.

Welcome! LA County by Jove - spent some time there myself, looking for Cairo, took a wrong turn at the Zambezi and ended up in Hawthorne - that was an eye-opener. Have Fun Old Bean!

The Chinese have retreated back behind the wall and sealed their ports, Putin has withdrawn from Ukraine, HM Govt has revoked all taxes on booze, fags and skittles and Unicorns roam free across a plethora of rainbows. And my doctor reckons I'll be fine when the pixie dust wears off.

Gods I love claret at the weekend, well especially at the weekend, is the 2017 still available old bean? I've PM'd.

The allure of the 2002 is unbearable - PM'd.

Oh dear - and so it starts. Have fun mate - TSF is the funnest place for grown ups this side of the crypt.

I got into a spot of 'light' stacking just as a hobby really - I liked the look and feel of the coins and it was the coronation year with all the 'special' Brits and Sovereigns and suchlike. Then I started watching more of the podcasts - to be honest the American ones with the 'prepper' slant made me laugh, these folks are seriously nuts, but most of the Brits are fairly sober minded with 'collectible' enthusiasm mixed in. Then I watched one too many CobraStackers and his collectible enthusiasm started to rub off - next thing I know I'm up to my arse in Germania and Perth mint limited strikes, I swear I now dream of shooting freaking Kookaburras with an F35! But as for getting rich, it's never going to happen, I'm planning on divying my collection amongst an expanding number of grand kids so it'll be their headache at the end of the day. I just enjoy the whole experience as a somewhat expensive hobby. Maybe i should have stuck to gardening but there's just not the same buzz in getting your hands on a limited edition Duchy of Cornwall watering can.

Atkinsons have got some for **** me! Forget I said anything.

Not to worry old boy - the people that issued aforesaid credit card are on another continent looking for Juan Dalriados.

I now feel much more relaxed about my credit card overspend.

Germania Mint's Valkyrie and Witchcraft 'coins' - but that might just be down to my fetid imagination.

Hello . . . is there anybody in here? It's like the Marie Celeste without the buffet.

Hail Fellow and Well Met! TSF is Precious Metal central for a wealth of knowledge and the best deals this side of the crypt. Have a hoot!

Hail Fellow and Well Met! Here at TSF you will find sage metal enthusiasts on an equal footing with swivell-eyed loons. You can tell them apart easily enough - the Sages tend to dribble a bit more. Nurse! Fetch the bedpan!

Can I have a pint of what he's on please?

Where are they getting these numbers from?

Imagine Her Britannic Majesty, Victoria, Queen by the Grace of God of the British Empire, her Dominions and Dependencies, Empress of India still graced the throne - and there was money to be made for adventurous traders across at least a quarter of the globe with gold and silver scattered about all over the place - hell, if your going to Imagine, Imagine Big!

Hail Fellow and Well Met! There are two ways this can go: 1. You enjoy the informed banter of like minded serious precious metal enthusiasts and learn from their wealth of experience and sober consideration. 2. You join the rest of us . . . Buy! BUY !! BUYBUYBUY!!!

And whats the ratio of rockets that go awol v successful deliveries? If their rockets are as well maintained as their tanks I would'nt be in a hurry asking them for help. Ooh - now your talking.

In tis day and age it's not so much the warhead that's the tricky bit - it's accurate & stable delivery systems.

Not quite the retirement I had in mind - I was hoping to fuse with copious amounts of alcohol as I slid lazily into old fartdom.

Ah - no its not - i'm even more confused than I thought Buggrit - time for another drink

The elephant in the desert here is that Israel is a nuclear power - I think even they have stopped denying it - so where will this go one wonders. Oops - sorry - wrong thread,
